The last two days have been crazy here with tons of tornado watches and warnings. Being from MD, tornadoes just weren't a big thing. I remember moving to NC when I taught and we had to do a tornado drill. I had to actually ask a teacher what to do during the drill. I had no idea! There were a couple of tornadoes that touched down in our area, but mostly just tree damage. It got pretty exciting when at Bible study today they moved us to the hallway at one point.
Check out my Peeps Cupcakes from our Easter Weekend! I had fun making these. I actually really like to bake, but it seems these days it gets the boot quite often. For the sake of time, I just made carrot cake from the box so nothing special there. But I grabbed Ed's, yes Ed's, decorating tools and had fun doing the icing. So so simple and basic, but I am pleased!
Micah, the child I have been neglecting on the blog, has his first game tomorrow night. I'm not sure if he is more excited to wear the uniform or play. Poor guy, he wishes this were the big leagues. He seems to forget that he is playing with Kid #1 that draws in the sand, Kid #2 that walks around the bases NO. MATTER. WHAT. Kid #3 that gets so distracted that you just know he is going to get nailed by a bat or a ball this season and it ain't gonna be pretty. (I don't even know what kind of sentence or group of sentences that was!)
I secretly like to buy new cleaning supplies. I have NO IDEA WHY, but I do. And I just bought a new concentrated one that smells SO GOOD! It is Mr. Clean and has Febreeze in it. It's a Hawaiian scent and it smell perfect. It isn't overbearing, and I think it makes my house smell so fresh. Tomorrow I may just walk around with a bucket and rag wiping things just to make my house smell good! Don't laugh!
And lastly, I'm bracing myself for what might be our busiest May in our lives thus far. I've got 5 days until we go go go nonstop until our vacation. That's 19 days if you're counting. I'm really not one for going on and on how busy you are, but I deem this necessary! So if we disappear for a while, you know why!
Oh, and I almost hate to admit it, but you may find a certain someone getting caught up in the royal wedding tomorrow. Who doesn't like a Happily Ever After?!
Going to eat some Ham and Swiss Quiche with my leftover ham from Easter!
This Easter was probably my favorite yet. We really enjoyed going through our family devotional preparing for Easter, and the kids LOVED the accompanying songs! Micah really had a lot of questions this year for us to answer. Caleb even grasped the simple thought that Easter is when Jesus died on the cross and rose on the third day. And sweet Haleigh, well, she just shook her hips to the songs, as she always does. She loved dancing!
We also had an Easter Egg Hunt with our small group, and a quiet lunch after church with Ed's brother. Here are some of my favorite pics...
And notice...no family picture and no pics of Micah...he was there I promise!
It seems my very independent wildly imaginative little toddler is going through a stage. There are lots of stages kids go through, though it seems this little one is giving me a lot of material to work with.
This pictures are taken from my point of view. This is what I find lying around most days.
And then I find him, usually looking something like this. I mean don't toddler's fashion sense crack you up!
And this one is just a bonus donning my sunglasses and kicking back!
The boys have started this little thing that I could get used to! I am a mom who is ALWAYS trying to get them smile for me for ONE. LITTLE. PICTURE. Most of the time it doesn't seem to go well. But recently, we have had a love for the camera! So I am capitalizing!
Caleb's new phrase is "How 'Bout this Picture!" Then he'll pose either by himself or with one of the other two. Check out these pics I got the other day! And yes, they do have brownie ALL OVER their face and teeth, but its baby steps!
Bows have been a part of Haleigh's life since she was born. She knows no different. She wears a bow in her hair most days. It has been one of her first words. She knows that after I get her dressed, we pick out a bow. As soon as I finish putting on her socks/shoes, she looks over to the bow holder and says, "Bow!"
Well it seems she is a little confused as to what a bow is. She has expanded her term "bow" to mean anything that goes on the head.
Recently, she has had a fascination with Caleb's baseball hat. She will proudly walk over to me, carrying the hat, asking me to put the "bow" on her head. She get so tickled by wearing her brother's hat. And I just have to say she looks adorable in it!
So whether it is a bow or a hat or even sunglasses on your head, in her little world, it's a bow!
