Slime

April 6, 2017

Well, yesterday went a little different than planned! Because of the threat of really bad storms and possible tornadoes on Wednesday, they cancelled school! Crazy! It rained pretty hard until about 9am and then the sun was out and it was honestly a beautiful day. As of writing this post at around 4:00pm, there is no rain and plenty of sunshine. They say there is still possible severe weather ahead but I can’t say we needed a day off of school for it! That’s ok though, I got plenty of time in with my three best buddies. I made a quick trip to the store first thing in the morning and bought Elmer’s glue and Borax – the two ingredients needed to make SLIME!

It really was so fun and entertained them for a couple of hours. I would totally do it again! They thought it was HILARIOUS when they would make the slime “toot” by pressing the air out. Oh, these giggles are the best sound in the world.

Fun “rainy” day activity for sure!

Playground fun

April 5, 2017

I promise to get through all the spring break pictures…eventually! I took over 800 so it might take a while! ha! In the meantime, we might just make this a Samantha week. Some pics from a playground adventure two weeks ago….

Under here, under there

March 31, 2017

Happy Friday! So, the “cool” thing for the boys to wear around here is Under Armour. It’s always the kids with older brothers that have it first…and then it trickles down to their friends. Over the past month or so Maxwell has been commenting more and more about Under Armour and Nike when he sees other kids wearing it. I resisted for a long time – I just don’t think he needs to wear sports gear every day – but, with him playing baseball and flag football, there is an actual need for athletic apparel. So, when he was pitiful after his surgery, I gave in and ordered him an Under Armour shirt.

I quickly realized that if I didn’t order a few more pieces, he’d wear that same shirt every single day! He’s got a few shirts now and some shorts and he’s loving it. He plans out his outfits every day and it’s the cutest thing ever.

He just wants to feel “cool” in what he wears and I can’t blame him. I want to feel “cool” too!  🙂

Don’t worry, Spencer didn’t get left out…

Under Armour for the win!

Make it a great weekend!

Ponies and Pigs

March 30, 2017

I’m not really sure what to do with Baby’s hair these days. It’s really long – but it’s also pretty scraggly and fine. It needs to be shaped up but I don’t want to cut it short. She’s definitely sort of growing her own natural mullet! ugh. Her hair is long enough for a ponytail or for pigtails but she won’t ever let me put it up. In fact, if I put my hair into a ponytail, she’ll scream and cry for me to take it down. Nope, not kidding. Life with little miss bossy pants is fun! ha!

She did let me play around with a ponytail one night…but she didn’t leave it in long!

Maxwell and Spencer looked nice in their ponytails too!  🙂

Globetrotters

March 29, 2017

Susan’s the best, as if we didn’t already know! She got even more fun last weekend when she took the boys to the Harlem Globetrotters! They had a ball…and each got to get a ball too!
