day 88

march 30

Catching a peek of story time. I have fond memories of reading to my baby brother, and here I am watching my daughter read to her baby brother. 

Priceless picture.

day 87

march 29

Readying for a musical number. It's times like these I realize how lucky I am to listen to him every single day. Cause sometimes it doesn't feel lucky. Sometimes it feels repetitive and a little obnoxious. Just saying...

day 86

march 28

Whenever I am reading a good book, I take it with me everywhere. Even in the car. I mean, you could get a page or two in while stopped at a light.

march 27

They are mine.
Goofy, strange, and slightly over the top, but mine nonetheless.

day 84

march 26

186.
All the shots Hailey gets in one month.

day 83

march 25

Bathtime. Best time on the day.

day 82

march 24

Did you know when you are a superhero that your face should always look like this?
Serious is the key.
Especially when helping to unload the dishes from the dishwasher.

day 81

march 23

Jonas' float for his state report. He was assigned Kansas. Kansas is where I spent a lot of my childhood and I still have a sister that lives there, so I have a fondness for the state. But if I have to read another fact about Kansas this year, my ears may bleed.

State reports are a lot of work for kids, but twice the work for the parents. Glad to be done with it!

day 80

march 22

Hailey, brushing up on her chinese jump rope skills. Caleb running circles around her.... because he can.

day 79

March 21

We loose pacifiers around here frequently. So when I went to the store recently to purchase a new pair, this was all they had. When Brian saw Porter sucking away on this he had to state aloud, that nothing says trashy more than a baby wearing something with the phrase rock star on it.

True?

day 78

march 20

This is my family. Gathered around the table. Centered around food. Drinking ice water from plastic cups. Trying to be heard over a screaming Porter.

Love.

day 77

march 19

Porter loves my new shoes as much as I do. I have been tripping over them all day.

day 76

march 18

Probably the creepiest card I have ever received. Plus, it makes noise. Meow. 

Creepy, Bri, very creepy.

Day 75

March 17

It's all things green today. This smoothie was a HIT with the kids. They loved it so much they asked if they could have it again when they get home. I don't think I am going to tell them that what made it green was spinach. That will be my little secret and yours:

Green smoothie:

4 cups spinach

1 1/2 cups orange juice

1 banana

2 cups frozen mangoes.

Blend well in blender.

march 16

Porter's down with O.P.S. ....

Other People's Shoes.

day 73

March 15

I think they like each other.

day 72

March 14

This is how the kids feel about being able to draw on the back porch again.

day 71

March 13

Sunday night coloring is becoming a well loved tradition around here.

day 70

March 12

I got up and it was still dark.

And I used these.

It was a momentous day.

And it left me sore.

day 69

March 11

Today, Porter learned to insist. He insisted upon the clothes that he wore, no matter how strange the combo. He insisted that his sister sit on the stairs with him, and he insisted that she watch him color... for an hour. Toddlers really know how to abuse their power.
