When The Girl’s hair was 1st long enough, she wore it in pigtails all the time. Well, now that “I’m almost 5 mom!” she rarely does-as she prefers the more mature headbands, lol. Every once in awhile she does and it makes me smile- as a part of me still sees her as that chubby little 2yr old

Oh- and do you like my new song? My DH is a big Guster fan. After dinner most nights he plays guitar- and this is one he’s been playing a lot lately. It’s stuck in my head lately- and makes me smile

This boy has a thousand different expressions- he’s just a very facially expressive person! (is that a word, I don’t know) and sometimes he gives me looks that instantly make me see him as a teenager ISO 100 ~ f/2.8 ~ 1/250

Boy #2 is currently obsessed with bees. As in obsessed and fearful of being stung. This evening in our 3-season porch there was a honeybee buzzing around- and he was watching it very keenly ISO 200 ~ f/2.8 ~ 1/100

This weekend is was my local MOMs club sale (Mothers of Mutiples) so this week I’ve been crazy trying to get all my kids stuff labeled for the sale. Here’s a little peak at what the sale looks like- as we set-up tonight for the sale tomororw- this is about 10% of the sale floor. It’s like a giant garage sale- with 100 moms of multiples selling their stuff

Today was our weekly playgroup and our host thought it would be fun to do a little bonfire- the kids LOVED it- they all had so much fun roasting their own marshmallows and throwing sticks in the fire

My Azaleas are in full bloom- aren’t they gorgeous?!?! I wish I could make them last like this all summer ISO 100 ~ f/2.8 ~ 1/500

Finally some color is appearing in our yard!!! YAY Spring!

This weekend was 2 of my favorite people’s birthday They share the same Bday (1yr apart in age) and this year I had the pleasure of spending their special day with them!
So Lyn+Leesh- this photo is in your honor- my fellow foodies- and you know why!
She sits in my kitchen window ledge- and brings a smile to my face everyday- as I think of fond C.C. memories

One of the things I look forward to each spring is the Azaleas coming up in my garden

Today was my monthly Cooking Club with my girlfriends- our “theme” this month was to stock pile some meals- as one of our members is having her 1st child very soon!
So one of my tasks today was the meatball maker I think I did about 100 of these suckers!

I think one of my kids favorite things about the weather getting warmer- is popsicles They LOVE popsicles- and as soon as it gets warm they can’t wait! So here’s the 1st of the season

His expression makes me smile- one of his comfort things is to rub his sleeve or his blanket on his lips/chin. Apparantly the swing chain worked well too

This photo cracks me up- she looks like a teenager with that expression on her face

Our beast is a herding dog by nature- so when the kids ride their bikes or scooters he often jogs besides them- up and down the street. We live at the end of a dead-end so the kids do laps over and over again…and he just runs along side! Until he gets too tired- then he sits by the mailbox and keeps his eye on them

Now that the weather is warming up- the kids are outside a LOT. I love her pink cheeks
