A few Things I love about Spring.


I love this time of year.
S
pring. It is so refreshing as we begin to see signs of renewal. I do not enjoy the winter months. Not at all. I do not like to be cold. I certainly do not like watching it get dark at 5pm. One of my favorite days of the year is "Spring Forward" as we change our clocks. Needless to say, I love the warm months.
A few of my favorite things of Spring:
Tulips Planting flower pots. Fresh Spring Rain. Easter Candy. Easter Sunday. {Only the second picture is mine. I found the others on the Internet. I could find-who to give the credit to.}

As we approach Good Friday and Easter Sunday, may we all spend some time reflecting on the sacrifice of Jesus. It is overwhelming to know that he was beaten, spat upon, mocked at, and died for us. He loved us so much that he gave up His life so we could live. I am just so happy that I know Him. May we enjoy all of the traditional Easter
activities without loosing site of the cross. We will color eggs, attend an egg hunt, wear pretty clothes, and spend time with family. I just don't want to get so busy with things of the world. I never want to forget God's perfect plan to save us from our sin so that we could spend an Eternity with Him.

What is your favorite part of the Spring Season?

Easter Eggs...PBK Style


I just had to share this video with you...those of you who know me well...know that I love Pottery Barn. Possibly too much. Just possibly. Well, today I ran across this video. Super Cute Easter Eggs...in the style of Pottery Barn Kids. The stylist is adorable and she doesn't doesn't even make a mess. {Seriously, who wouldn't want to be a stylist for PB?!}
Check this out....I may have to try these adorable numbered eggs. I think my kiddos would love them.
{Perhaps...I will give a goodie bag after the egg hunt for each number. Oh the possibilities}






*Update on Georgia-Kate's new bed. The feet to her bed were not packed. So, they were not delivered with the bed. Long Story. After several telephone conversations with the PBK, about the lost feet and the trundle which sits in the floor. They will have to exchange the entire bed, which is now on back order. It will arrive in July! So, to ease my pain..they issued a very generous gift card. Yes, apparently I can be bought.

Childhood Dreams


Align CenterAs Benjamin was trying to get his medicine down, this morning before school, he was complaining not to take it.
Allen said "When you grow up and become a doctor...don't you want kids to take their medicine?"
Benjamin quickly answered "Dad, I'm not going to be a doctor. I am going
to be the weather man." We just giggled. Without him seeing us, of course. Benjamin does love the weather. His favorite channel is defiantly the Weather Channel.

You may see this sweet little face bringing you the weather on your local news. In 20 years or so.
