A little bit of this and that...

We have been up to a lot here lately including getting ready for our new location. Rhode Island!! Here's a little peek at some of our fun. Hope you enjoy.

We painted egg shells for the letter "E" and Easter
Isn't he cute? ;-)

I was able to sleep in one morning and this is what happened when Daddy turned around! OPPS!

"We" concentrated REALLY hard on putting together a Sleeping Dootie Puzzle

Hazel's Egg

Jakob attempting the famous wooden egg (he really did well!)

Easter Egg Youth Service at our Church (I've got love like a fountain)

Climbing trees with friends

Rainbow Xylophones on Preschool coop

And that's only part of it. I am currently working on catching up with Hazel school posts on my other blog Confessions of a Coastie Wife. I have been a bit lax there lately since we have been so busy but now that the yard sale is over hopefully I can get back to some sort of routine.

Another Wonderful Week

Life is soo much better when Daddy's home. Not that we begrudge the work that he does, but we sure are glad to have him home to play with. See? Happy face!!

A little friend of ours turned one this week and since all we had to wrap her present with was Christmas Paper, we just flipped it over and decorated the blank side and mad our own. The kids REALLY like the stamping!

I love seeing this! I work really hard each week trying to find books for Jakob that would be interesting yet readable. This week's treasure find was the Dinosaur reader. He loved it! It's so much fun listening to him discover his readings and telling us all the cool facts he gleans from them.

Daddy's Back and Seaquarium!

We went to the Miami Seaquarium this week with Hazel's Coop. Jakob got to skip school and we had an awesome time. the shows were the best!
See that lady? Apparently I wasn't suppose to be taking Jakob's picture with these birds. After snapping a couple of times I realized she was talking to me and repeating over and over again, "You can't take pictures with these birds, please move on and take pictures with the birds farther in." Yeah I totally know where my kids get it from! ;-)

The best part of the week was the fact that Daddy came home! he brought us all little gifts from Puerto Rico. Hazel got this cute little summer dress....
both kids got little frogs...
And Jakob got a ship in a bottle! So much fun!
We are all settling back in with Daddy being home. We have adopted a new limbo status as Mike was informed that he would need to put in a dream sheet since he is advancing. We will know later if that actually means that we are transferring this summer.

I'mmm Baaaackk!

Ok wow yeah it's literally been FOREVER since I last wrote. So much has been going on and a lot has been hard to deal with, but this is not the post to get into that. Right now I wanna talk about the cool stuff we are into. And show off my beautiful kiddos.




They've gotten big huh? So beautiful a perfect mini me and mini Mike. They are growing up so fast I can't believe it!

Part of the reason I have been MIA with my posts is because my camera suffered a big boo boo and had to go to the Dr. Now that its back I can show you the types of things that we get into lately.
We have our school time at home. Hazel is soo smart and I am excited to have both my lovies home next year all the time!

We give Mommy "hairdo's". I really think this is her way of getting me back for brushing her curls.

We go to the Zoo and play!

And we go to Michael's and learn how to make H2O!!

As you can tell we have been into a lot of stuff here lately and loving every minute of it. I plan on keeping this blog for family members and such but I am starting another blog Confessions of a Coastie Wife. I plan on using that blog as a way to document and categorize the different things that are helpful as we homeschool, budget, and live life from post to post. Hope you all enjoy!!
