Random

Here is just a bunch of random stuff that has been going on around here.

Last week I had my 35th Birthday.....yeah.... ;0)

Zach made this sign for Riley:

AWE! See, they can get along!! :0)

After the last snow, Jeff made snow ice cream, but fancied it up by adding mint flavoring, green food coloring, and chocolate chips. They kids were in love!!

I tutor Mr. Ares twice a week, and this week, we had an egg hunt where he had to find the eggs, which had letters on them, in order of the alphabet. His motivator? The "Z" had candy in it. ;0)

These ice cream eggs are delicious.

Riley thought this was a good outfit that he put together:

Before I remembered how he was dressed, I let him go into the school to get Zach from scouts.....

This little cutie cracks me up all of the time!

I have been getting all crafty for Easter! I made this banner from printed off letters, and ribbon & wooden shapes I found in the $ bin at Target!

The kids are going to take these jars filled with peanut butter eggs to their teachers this week:

This is what my family room looks like right now....

I bet you know what the kids are going to be doing in the near future.....

Random......

I feel like I have not been posting very many things lately. It's not that I haven't wanted to, I just haven't had anything really to post. We have been busy, but not with anything particularly exciting. So, while this post will not really be exciting, it does have things that we have been doing the last few weeks. I have properly warned you. ;0)

I have seen Lily line her princesses up like this several times now and take pictures of them. She tells them they are pretty while she does it too.

A couple of weeks ago at Riley's scout meeting, Jeff used a map he had printed out at work to show the scouts how to locate their houses on a map. When they got home, Riley asked Jeff to make it into a paper airplane.

That was one giant paper airplane!!

And yes, Riley dressed himself. "Their both blue mom! They match!" Umm....no. ;0) (And no I didn't let him go anywhere but the backyard dressed like that!)
We are getting a new roof put on our house next week because it looks like this:

So far the process has been pretty painless. Let's hope it stays that way.

This giant bag of clothes came from Riley's closet. They are going to my sister Mary's house to her son. Don't worry, Riley won't be naked. He just got a giant bag of clothes from my sister Dianna, and clothes from Zach that he outgrew. (Don't feel too bad for Riley, he does get new clothes too.)

In the last week everyone except Jeff had to get a new coat or jacket. OK, I didn't have to get a new coat...it just wanted me to buy it. At least that's what I told Jeff......

We (Jeff) volunteered to be Popcorn Kernels for the Boy Scouts again. So, all of this popcorn (which is for the show & sell) will sit in our house until the beginning of December. Yeah..... (can you hear my excitement???)

My rosebushes are still blooming!

And finally, this is where I find Lily 90% of the time when Zach is home:

She just grabs a blanket, and climbs on top of him and snuggles up. And he never says a word to make her get off of him. Such a good big brother. :0)
