Pretty

Today, after I got Grace dressed she looked down at her outfit and said, " I feel pretty."

Grammy's Visit

Grammy came from Kansas City last week to visit for a few days. We shopped, went swimming and drove to Fredricksburg to pick strawberries. It rained the night before we went so it was more than a little muddy. Jack and Grace kept losing their shoes in the mud and had to be hosed off before getting back in the car. All in all it was a successful trip, no complete meltdowns and we came home with 4lb of strawberries!

BOR-ING!

We have been every bit as boring as our blog would have it seem. Nothing big going on at our house. The school year is winding down, so it doesnt seem like there is as much homework coming home. The days are getting a little warmer, actually they are soupy. The humidity is horrible the past few weeks. Dan has been working 6 day weeks, leaving for work by 6, getting home around 5 or 6. Long days for daddy and really long days for mommy! The only thing that pops to mind is we have done a little amateur landscaping in the front yard. For the last 2 1/2 years we have only had what the builder planted, we took most of that out and put some new plants, flowers and vines we hope will grow and look lovely! Neither dan nor I can seem to grow anything but weeds, but this time I took the time to research how to make things grow in our unhospitable area, so fingers crossed. . .
Grammy is coming to town tommorow for a few days, and we have a few things on the agenda, so hopefully we will have some fun new pics to post soon! Keep checking back!

Jack's final soccer game was today. I dont know who won, most of the kids just kick the ball into whichever goal is closest, makes it hard to keep score. He was SO PROUD of his medal he got for completing the season.

Grace is a Genius

The other day Grace and I were just sitting on my bed, and she started counting. And after she got past 5 or 6 I was shocked! She and I had worked up to about 3 or 4 but never up to 13!!! That evening I had her do it for Dan, he also was surprised, we asked Claire and Halle if they had taught her. Nope, they hadnt. The only explanation is that Grace is a genius!!!!

In the video, at the beginning she didnt know i was videoing her. She didnt want me to video her until a fresh layer of lip gloss was applied!

Easter

Here are the kids in their easter get-up. They didnt get to wear it last week on easter, we stayed as the kids were sick. (see post below, that was Jack on easter sunday)
