all good things

1. the last few weeks have been doozys. full of all sorts of good things. band concert, musical, soccer practice, extra soccer practice, games, alumni social for mom and dad, may day, the sid shuffle (ask ellie), field trips, parents breakfast, field day, 5th grade track meet, mothers day... the list goes on. it's just that it all is happening at once making us feel a bit like we are running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

seriously.

spring always ends up feeling like this i think. just when we think it will finally calm down and we can enjoy the sunshine and warm temps, crazy hits.

it's good though.

it's full and good.

2. in other news, we had some birds trying to build a nest in our garage. they would swoop in as soon as the garage door opened. this has freaked a little miss maggie out.....she already told us "she no love birds" and she really no love birds that are trying to live in her garage.

3. last night tim overheard the big girls arguing with each other after showers and it went something like this...
ellie "well you have little buns"
cece "well you have super big granny buns!"

4. jake made the move from sleeping in the monkey (rock and play) to sleeping in the bassinet. we were worried there would be some struggles with the transition. but in true jake fashion he just rolled with it and didn't even seem to notice there was a change. he hit the four month mark last week. he goes for a check up friday so i will be back later this week with his four month stats.

5. about 6 weeks ago miss maggie bit her friend at daycare. she hadn't done that before so we were a little surprised. last week she was sitting with me as i was reading. she opened my bible and said "momma it says don't bite your friends."

that girl. cracks. me. up.

6. we planted our garden last week. all kinds of good stuff is in the ground and we are hoping it grows. tomatoes, peppers, onions, radishes, green beans, cucumbers, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkins. we went all in this year!

7. mothers day was good. so thankful to be momma to my people. they mean the world to me.

monday: pasta
tuesday: fish sticks and coleslaw
