Bird Nests!

 Last night mommy went over to Miss Kelly's house and while mommy was away, daddy and daughters made "birds nests" cookies! (It's another pinterest find that I had printed out and had wanted to do but daddy beat me to it!) Aren't these just cute as pie! I cannot believe how crafty daddy is! So proud of my daughters these look amazing!

Egg-stra Special Finale!

 These are the magnificent creations of egg-stremely beautiful Eastery Eggs created by yours truly; K& G! 

Technology Fun

After cooking Easter dinner menu items we had to relax.

Eastery Eggs: The Process

 You know there's a process to making Eastery Eggs... let me tell you about it.

 First you have to make sure you have a good egg. Then you have to get it real hot in some water.

 You're probably thinking, "Why hot?" Well, it makes the inside of the egg not goopy so the coloring can start.

 So after it's not goopy inside then you can start putting them inside the colors.

 This is the funnest part because we get to get messy. There are fun wraps you can put on the "broked" eggs.

 When you are waiting for the eggy to get colored you can sorta stir it a bit so very side gets a lot of color.

 Sometimes you have to wait a long time.

A really long time. But, if you're real patient and just wait they turn out beautiful! Final reveal will be soon!

Magic Ballerina- 4

On day 4 magic ballerina is measuring 4 inches! That's amazing! She's growing more and more every day! The sassy's guess she'll grow to be 100 inches if we keep her in the water for 100 days... I hope not! That would creep mommy right out!!!!

The Discovery Center

  Today the Sassy's and I went to the Discovery Center in Gaylord. Now, I'll be honest this is not a place for older kids. We were there for 45 minutes and after that the Sassy's were over it. It would be a great toddler place but not a place for school age kids. It wasn't worth the $8/kid plus the $5/adult.

Our friends the Himebauch's were going to meet us there but after being there for a half hour we decided that it would better do something else fun. Well... on their way into town poor Luna (The Himebauch mobile) got a flat tire. So we spent 3 1/2 hours in the parking lot waiting for someone to rescue us... well okay change the flat. It turned out that my sister's very kind driver, Jay, saved us and got the lug nuts off and then Kelly's ex-brother-in-law came and attempted to change the flat... it ended up being something that her ex-father-in-law came and changed... after 3 1/2 hours they all piled into our car and we made our way back to their house. Tonight before bed I asked the Sassy's if they had a fun day and they said yes because they were with their friends. I love that being cooped up in a car with their friends made for a fun day. I love these Sassy girls of mine!!! xo

Cousin Time!

Today we met Uncle Josh, Jordy and Abby Doo at the wooden park in Boyne! It was so much fun!!

It was quite chilly but lots of running, laughter and happy squeals of delight filled the playground!

Magic Ballerina - 3

Here is Magic Ballerina on day 3!!

And now she's 3 inches!!! She's growing up fast!

Spring Break Day 5

Though our day was a little home-body-ish, a chance of rain and dreary, we still had fun. The sassy's played in the playroom most of the day. They made TONS of pictures (atleast 50!) and they played outside for a while but it was so cold (45 degrees) that they decided that playing inside was more fun. They have been so patient with mommy.
Mommy finished up her last book for the last Sociology class that I need to graduate. 19,000 words and 37 pages later... Kailee said to me, "Mommy I'm so proud of you for getting your book done." That made my heart swell so big!! Tomorrow I think we're going to see if some friends want to go to the park to play for a while then maybe we can go for ice cream (if it's "warm") or hot cocoa if it's not, after we're done playing. I think we need to get out of the house.
Kailee and daddy spent the evening playing kerplunk, Grace went to bed early! Kailee was a natural! Daddy... not so much. They had lots of fun together though!! 

All By Myself

Today Kailee decided she was going to make her own lunch! 

She made a ham sandwich; with mayo, cheese, lettuce and mustard.

She also had grapes and a yogurt. My healthy girl!!
(She insisted we include this in the blog because she is so proud that made her entire lunch herself.)

PHO107 Sunsets

Even though it hasn't been really wonderful weather for evening photographs I still managed a few that I enjoyed.

April Fish Day!

Joyeux Poisson d'Avril!

My dear friend Katy introduced this French "April Fools Day" called, "April Fish" Day to us via her blog post! So, Grace and I decided we're going to do this! So, we made a fish... we named him "Rainbow Fish" and all day we were sticking him on someone else's back  without them knowing it. It was so much fun, no one even cared but we kept taking it off of ourselves and sticking it on someone else. I love "April Fish Day" more so than April Fools Day! This is less mean and more fun!
Thank you Katy!!
