splish splash

April 7, 2017

What a weird weather week. It started out pouring rain on Monday, then a bluebird day Tuesday, potentially terrible storms on Wednesday that never came, and then cold on Thursday! Despite it all, we did have fun playing outside…

Maxwell even managed to find a worm in the muck and I didn’t need that thing anywhere near me! ewwww.

My crew thoroughly enjoyed the very small puddles that formed at the front of our yard. Baby got into them first and managed to soak her shoes! They all got smart then and put on their rainboots…all except Baby who doesn’t have any! No worries, Crocs worked!

I had to run to Target the next day and so snagged her some cute new pink rainboots which she was pleased with.

She was not pleased with the second worm Maxwell found however! ha!

I agree Baby! Ewwww!

Hope you all have a great weekend! We’re gonna hunt some eggs and play some baseball and soccer!

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….

This is another one of my dresses. My mom recently tried this great product that removes yellow age stains from fabric and all my old dresses are new again! Woohoo!

Cherries

April 3, 2017

Life is just a bowl of cherries,
Don’t take it serious; it’s too mysterious.

Life is just a bowl of cherries,
So live and laugh at it all!

This made me laugh…I dropped Samantha off at school and John John immediately went over to check out her cherries!  🙂
