Wild Animal Safari

 We visited the Wild Animal Safari in Strafford, MO. Benny was there I promise! 

Mommy Party

Daniel insisted I take a nap one Sunday. When I woke up they had thrown me a "Mommy Party" complete wit Twinkies, whipped cream, and root-beer!

Earth day

We celebrated Earth day this year with our cousins Jaydee and Alexa. We filled a bird feeder with seed, made globe crayons, decorated and planted herbs for Gram, and ate dirt and worms!

Easter baskets

 Easter baskets! They look really tired!

They look so cool with their new shades.

Vintage Spring Dress Pattern

I made the dress Auri is wearing for Easter and thought I would share it with everyone!

 

Hippity Hop Easter is on its way!

Easter is almost here! I have always wanted to go all out on the kids outfits! I don't know what I was waiting for, but this year I decided to just bite the bullet!

 I wanted them to look like spring and colorful! I told the fabric lady what I was going to make with the fabric I chose and she she replied, "Well, they sure will be colorful!" with a bad undertone in her voice. I then doubted my choice in fabric. I will never let anyone else make me doubt my vision.

So I love little kids dressed in fancy attire, so I searched all over the internet (who am I kidding, I scoured pinterest. Pinterest is my life). I found some skinny slacks pattern for free (yay) and a vest that I altered (free again). I wanted Tate to have an actual blazer, so I had to buy the pattern- but good news, It is sizes 18mo- 8yrs so I will get my use out of it.

Benny loves his pants so much that he refused to take them off and asks to wear them everyday! I am so excited for Easter!!!!!!
