Picking Flowers

Me and Rach on Christmas Eve... enhanced by Portrait Pro! #yesplease :)

(I was showing Mom how that program works, and we used this as our practice pic.)

So Triston's class read Charlotte's Web recently (I loved that book), then they did a project where they sent her spider babies to people in other cities/states, along with a page to journal about all her activites, and pictures were encouraged.  So here's some of my adventures with Aranea! lol  #weirdestprojectever #gladthegirlfranzdidn'teather

Missy McKay couldn't be any cuter if she tried. :)  I was gonna just get a candid pic of her drinking her bottle, but she pulled it to one side so she could say "cheese!" lol  The bottom corner pic is JaceMan hugging Reagan, who didn't appreciate the gesture as much as most of us do! lol  And the top right is Triston and Carter opening their B-day cards from me between soccer games on Saturday!! :)

By the by, kids sporting events are super entertaining!! =)  If it wasn't for some overly aggressive parents stressing me out (they're 7-year-olds having fun -- CALM YOURSELF and stop crushing their self-esteem), then I'd enjoy spending the whole day just watching them play!

Coach to Payton, who was far more worried about finishing his snack than being subbed in to play:  "You can eat your chip out there, buddy!" while literally pushing him onto the field! lol

Josh to David, their goalie: "Better stand up, David!"
Another dad, seeing him bending down cupping his hands:  "Is his hand hurt or something!?"
Josh:  "No, he was picking flowers!" hahahaha #awesomesauce

T-man standing back ready to play defense, turns to me and Mom:  "Whoa, there was a huge bee that just flew right by me!  And one earlier hit me right here in the head... it was like (demonstrating the bee flying around)..."
Me:  "Bees are the worst!" while casually pointing at all the other players running toward him! lol
I just love it that they don't really care yet.  Clearly, most of the parents care enough to make up for it.

After the game, Mom and I walked through their new house, which is coming along so much faster than I would've expected!  The golf course and pool as their backyard view is gonna be pretty great!!

I also got to have lunch at Cheddar's with my favorite cousin, which was definitely one of my favorite parts of the weekend!

This was last night... I bought a new welcome mat that was too thick for my front door, so I decided to just put it out back.  #badidea  Sammo and Bellsy-doodles were excited about their new chew toy!

An adorable K-Faith pic Rach texted me this morning! #babyboots

The tiny eggs have officially hatched, and three little birds are living in my Spring wreath now!  Me being me, I'm scared to get too close, but I did have to get at least one picture! :)

I'm 98% certain God is preparing me for a major change, and I'm feeling very okay with that. #remix

This = one of my favorite Gilmore Girls quotes, and today's "Words of Wisdom Wednesday" moment:

Not sure if it's my maternal instinct kicking in or what, but I bought this set of 10 classic children's books a couple months back, and have now read all of them + Little Pilgrim's Progress!  My predictable favorites were The Secret Garden and Anne of Green Gables.

Thanks for reading, and Happy Wednesday! =)
