Puzzle boy

Whenever Connor disappears and it is quiet I always get a little worried but this is usually where I find him. He does puzzles all day long and LOVES them

Nit picking

has a whole new meaning to me after spending hours making sure we are lice and nit free.

goose egg

Poor Catie was running full speed and crashed right into the corner of the wall. This awesome goose egg swelled up immediately. Poor girl.

Happy Easter?

These beautiful kids had a fun easter morning finding baskets and having an egg roll contest. I was finishing combing the last head of hair when I discovered one of my worst nightmares - LICE. I looked at my 8 month pregnant sister in law and we both just about broke down in tears. Unfortunately Mindy has dealt with this before and is an expert. We took a quick picture and then started treating every head of hair.
Here are the kids after drenching their hair with Listerine [the alcohol kills the lice] and putting on shower caps. Poor Cate was so tired and fell asleep on the floor.

Mindy walked me through everything I needed to do and we bagged everything soft in the house, vacuumed, lysoled the couches and hard surfaces. Not the way we wanted to spend Easter....

Maiden voyage

The weather warmed up enough Saturday afternoon to take the boat out. We had a great time and the water wasn't even very cold. We are super excited to have a boat and play a lot this summer!

Dyeing eggs

We are so excited to have my brother Scott and his family in town for the weekend! It was a rainy day so Mindy and I took the kids to Discovery Place and had a fun time. We hung around the house playing and dyed eggs.

Inchworm girls

Kali and Abbie with their bucket full of inchworms. We had a great time at the park with the Parkers today!

Atlanta aquarium

was awesome! We loved the dolphin show and looking at all of the amazing fish!

Trend setter

Spencer couldn't understand why I asked him to go change before we went to the store today. He has an awesome sense of style.

Happy kid

Spencer loves getting his picture taken and I love him!

Me and my Abs

love this little girly - she is growing up too quickly!

Nap time gone wrong

Since moving into beds, these two are not so great at napping. I have to lay down in their room if I want them to go to sleep. The problem with that is that I am the one who goes to sleep and they still play. Today I decided to let them sleep in their beds on their own while I got some things done. I found them "lotion"ing themselves with Desitin. They were so proud of their "lotion" job.

Practice egg hunt

the kids had a "practice" egg hunt today with some friends in the backyard. They found some old Valentine candy and filled some eggs. Sydney and Spencer hid the eggs since they were the "older" kids. They all had a great time!

A little Lincoln Logs before school

Kickball

we love playing kickball as a family....
and washing our dirty feet off together too!
