Happy Easter

The kids in their Easter outfits. Taylor picked her dress and at the same time found Brent's vest. She's a good little shopper. They were both on sale for a good deal, so I was happy. And I was eyeing this little skirt for Peyton anyways. I love my adorable kids. They are so sweet and they love each other so much. I feel so blessed to be their mom.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We went to Houston for Spring Break to hang out with my mom and in laws for the week. So our St. Patrick's Day we got to wake up at Grandma's house. Which is so fun, because Grandma Marilyn's house is "our house" according to my kids. Last summer when we moved in for a few months I explained to Brent that this was going to be "our house" for a little while. So our first day we were there, Brent greeted my mom at the door when she came home from work and hugged the door frame and said, "Grandma, this is MY House now." She got a kick out of it.

So this time when we got to my moms, Brent went around saying remember when we did this... remember when we lived here mom. It was cute that they have so many fun memories there.

So for St. Pattie's day we woke up and the goofy leprechaun sent the kids on a scavenger/ treasure hunt for a treat and then they got to go to the donut shop. Later on in the morning (because Brent likes to have 2 breakfasts) the leprechaun turned the eggs and milk green.

Peyton was so hilarious... she LOVES scrambled eggs and so she got some of the green eggs too. But she totally snubbed them and made her yucky noise when she doesn't want to eat/ drink something and started to toss them on the floor. Such the food snob. So I had to make her normal scrambled eggs that she welcomed and ate them right up.

We made these fun shamrocks for our craft and made some extra for our friends the Allen's that we met at the park that day. I found the idea on my new favorite site called MADE. It has so many fun ideas!

50's Day at School

.. So we get a phone call from Tays teacher yesterday telling us that she forgot to tell the kids it's 50s day on Mon. We were heading out the door to eat dinner at another families house , So when we were getting ready for bed I told Tay and she really realy wanted a poodle skirt. I was like, tay I'm sorry we don't have one. Everyone we know has to dress up tomm too... there aren't any extra poodle skirts lying around. So we dig through our fabric and I can't believe I had 2 yards of felt.. Seriously a few minutes later as I'm stressing thinking how in the world am I going to do this to make my little girl hapy? My friend drops by ... And taylor tells her we are trying to make a poodle skirt ( I was not very enthused at thus point). And my friend said she had a pattern. ( not that I really know how to follow a pattern). So after A few phone calls to Sarah and lots of scavenging... At 2 am I finshed the poodle skirt. It seriously was a miracle... I really know the Lord helped me... I know that sounds really silly, but He must have cared about this silly poodle skirt, and Taylor's happiness. I just happened to have exactly 4 white puff balls, only one sheet of iron on applicae, I randomly had ric rac. It was a miracle. It was so fun to have Taylor wake up and be so excited. She was bouncing around until we could take her to school. :).

Even though I only had a few hours of sleep, I was on a mommie high... I'm sure I'll be grumpy in a few hours.
