A spring break bust!!

First, my apologies go out to Samantha who spent her very first spring break hanging out with her mom and the babes for the entire week and we've got nothing to show for it... well, maybe not 'nothing'.

The upside is that this was her very first spring break so I haven't set the bar too high as far as her expectations go - so I've got some time to make it up to her.

The downside is that her only real memory of spring break will be our daily, and I do mean daily, trips to Sonic for half price drinks & slushies!


This is exactly how I survived the week... knowing there was a large Coke for .75 just waiting for me at 2pm!



And this is how the kids survived... Every time we pulled into the drive through Brody would say 'mama, I want my own'... I kinda sometimes have been known to make them all 3 share one... but never during 1/2 price drink happy hour!



And what spring break would be complete without one - yes ONE - trip to the park that lasted 25 minutes! I know, I know, I'm not the best mom, but it was hot outside and there were some weird kids at the park.

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Another before and after... this one is not so dramatic...

Before: 4 bandanas (2 zebra print & 2 pink polka dot) After: 1 very ADORABLE bandana dress and 1 super STYLISH bandana shirt Now I know this is not a new concept here, but I am really quite proud of my little sewing creation. So proud that I'm sure the girls are going to be screaming and chanting 'put down the bandana and just walk away'. These were oh so (and sew) easy!!! I'm seeing one in every color and pattern for the girls... oh the possibilities!!

Now I know why...

Today, for the first time, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I get it. I am now in the club. I now know why most moms only want a family photo as their gift for Christmas, birthday, Mother's Day or any other gift-giving holiday. Why do I know this... because today was OUR family picture day and it was everything I wanted and more. I don't care if no one looked at the camera, I don't care if we all had something stuck in our teeth... it was a picture of me and my most favorite people on earth and that right there is worth more to me than ANYTHING that could ever be purchased. So, in honor of picture day I just couldn't help but grab my own camera as soon as we got home to get a few shots of my own since we were all lookin' uber cute. Completely random pics, most out of focus (I really am working to train Scott and Sam), but just a little sneak peek of us...
