Yard Transformation

The grass in our neighborhood is terrible. Slab homes with a yard made from rocks, weeds, and any other strange plants that decides to grow.
Last year we put down new mulch, plants, flowers, and tried to keep our crazy bushes cut back. This year we decided it was time for sod. So the last 3 weekends have been dedicated to the yard. Zack had to kill our 'grass', till everything, and spread fertilizer. This weekend he put the sod down. I have high hopes for a nice looking lawn, but also a lawn the kids can play on. One without rock, clay patches, and weeds. Once the sod was down our yard looked immediately better. When it's all filled in and looking beautiful, I'll be sure to share a picture.

During this process, Zack had his wingman assisting, his mini-me, his shadow.... Dylan.
I took some pictures last week and forgot to share them! Dylan loves helping Zack around the house. It's so cute!!! I love my boys!

Strawberry Picking

This afternoon we went to Vaughan Farms to pick strawberries. Last year we missed the season and I was very bummed. So this year I made it a must.
Check us out!

Easter

Our Easter in pictures...............

Magnificent Monday

I had the day off today and it was wonderful! It reminded me of my days as a SAHM. Oh how I miss those days.

We spent the morning playing in every room of the house. Coloring, reading, building, playing with play dough, and watching cartoons. The windows were open, blowing a cool spring breeze through the house, kids busy playing. Pure awesomeness! Yup, I said awesomeness!!!
We ate lunch together and the kids went down for naps. Zack worked a half day. He travels the rest of the week, so I thought it would be nice to spend some quality time together. We went to the park in the afternoon, one of Dylan's favorite things to do.
It was a day full of laughs, cuddles, and tons of fun. One magnificent Monday!!!


Easter pictures & E's 11m photo's will be posted soon.

Spring Party

Dylan had his school egg hunt and Spring party on Thursday. Parents had to provide 12 filled eggs. We filled our eggs with Tootsie Rolls and stickers.

In the morning his class had their egg hunt. It was more like watching an ant farm. 18 little people walking around, deciding what egg looks good enough to pick up, filling bags to the brim. It was cute. I got to watch since my classroom is next door. They were far enough away that I couldn't get pictures. In the afternoon they had a Spring party. We can't call it am Easter party because not everyone celebrates Easter. The class ate cookies, cupcakes, veggies, cheese puffs, and juice boxes. I snuck in and took Dylan's picture.

Emersyn made us a card. It was a bunny made from her footprint. Very cute!

More Easter fun on Sunday.
To be continued.......

Pillow Pets

Pillow Pets have been on ongoing craze now for a few years. The creator was pure genius! A very soft, cuddly animal that turns into a pillow, fun for all ages. Why didn't I think of that idea?!? Both of our kids have one and love them.

Two Christmas' ago we bought Dylan a panda. He sleeps with it every night. For the most part he keeps the panda in its stuffed animal state, and occasionally opens it up and uses it as a pillow. As most of you know, only super soft animals make 'the cut' in Dylan's eyes. That's how he rates the quality of the animal. "Is it super soft? Yup! Then it sleeps in my bed and I will love it everyday!" The boy has so many animal in his room we have to rotate them in and out of his bed. Panda always stays, so he must be a favorite.
My parents bought Emersyn her ladybug. Right now she is more interested in chewing on the antennae, with the occasional snuggling next to her face.

I took these pictures last month and have been meaning to post them.
