Still no love

April 10, 2015

One year ago I wrote this no-love letter…

Dear Pollen,

You’re such a lovely shade of green and I do love the color green.  However, you coat all of our outside toys and plants and really just make a mess of things.  You’ve been hanging around for about two weeks and I think it’s safe to say you’ve already worn out your welcome.  Spencer and his red, swollen, itchy eyes agree…

Needless to say, our feelings remain the same. That picture was from Wednesday when I picked him up from school. Ms. Alice had called me to say that as soon as they came in from the playground his eyes just turned bright red and he just kept itching them saying “my eyes!”. When I picked him up the first thing he said was, “Momma, eyes hurt!” 🙁

And this year it’s gotten to Maxwell too.

He’s not nearly as bad as Spencer but still…Poor, poor guys. Go away pollen!

Hope you all have a weekend free of itchy allergy eyes!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments

Easter in MGM

April 9, 2015

As I mentioned yesterday, we drove down to Montgomery for Easter lunch. I shared one family pic yesterday but I’m sharing this one too because I love them both!  🙂

We had a great time as always getting to see everyone and play with Lulu…

and, of course, Katie and Anna!

I tried so hard to get a picture of all the cousins and this shot right here is pretty representative of how that process went…

Spencer was definitely the entertainment of the day! Crawling under the table, eating 35 crackers, and doing this…

spencer

ha! That said, he was actually really well behaved the whole day and I was super proud of his little 2.5 year old self!

We headed over to Lulu and Granddaddy’s house after lunch and enjoyed the afternoon just visiting and letting Samantha get acquainted with everyone…

The boys got some more Easter goodies, including some Ninja Turtle bubbles that Jenny was nice enough to help Spencer with!

hahaha! By the time he was done, I think he could blow bubbles with just the soap all over his mouth!

It was a wonderful Easter and we’re so glad we got to spend it with family!

Easter morning

April 8, 2015

We woke up Easter morning to see that the bunny had paid us a visit!

The kids were pretty excited!

We then headed outside to hunt some eggs! Orange for Maxwell and blue for Spencer…

We then got dressed up in our Easter finest. Everyone looked so sweet, especially Samantha who was wearing my christening gown from 36 years ago!

The boys looked so sweet too despite the itchy, swollen allergy eyes!

I really wanted some good group shots and while Maxwell is always my willing model…

getting the other two to cooperate is a different story!  🙂

I did get some cute ones of Robert with 1, 2 and 3!

And when we got to Montgomery for lunch, I even managed to get a picture with all 3!

The hunt!

April 7, 2015

As I mentioned yesterday, the boys and I went to Naples for spring break. We got back home in time for a fun Easter weekend though. I’ll blog about Naples later but wanted to round up Easter first! On Saturday, we headed down to Wetumpka for the annual Inscoe egg hunt.

Samantha got to wear this pretty little smocked dress made by GJ and Susu…

We all thought she looked so pretty – especially Maxwell!  Peekaboo!
