Earth Day

Today B and I went to a friend's house and made a bird feeder from peanut butter and a toilet paper roll. It was a beautiful morning and early afternoon so all of us moms, consequently with all of our boys, got to let the little guys run around the front yard and get some energy out with bubbles and baseballs. B and I came home and immediately hung his feeder outside on our lamp post. I had a feeder out last year and the birds really enjoyed it. I hope they come to like this little one.

I can't help but think of the wonder our Earth truly holds and be so glad that we got to enjoy it's beauty outside in the warm sun this morning. I don't do everything in my power to be "green", but I do try to do little things and make small changes in my family's life to help keep our Earth just a little bit healthier.

The only problem I have with our beautiful Earth are the not-so-lovely creatures that come with it! The bees are enjoying the spring weather that is FINALLY happening in our area and they are out full force. I am a baby, therefore, I am deathly afraid of bees. It's really an unhealthy fear. I know if I leave them alone they'll leave me alone. However, there's just something about a big fat bumble bee buzzing past your head that is unsettling. Even as I write this in the comfort of my living room I see one outside my window and I cringe. I know their importance in the cycle of life, but that doesn't mean I have to like them!

I hope everyone can take a moment today to celebrate earth day and hug a tree.

Spring Break

Spring is here and thus comes more activities with Easter, Spring Break, nice weather, etc.

We have been busy. We have visited the easter bunny, gone egg hunting, and I have been getting ready for B's birthday party. I cannot believe Easter is already this weekend! It's like April came and went in a flash.

B got his birthday present early this year. We got him a slide that he can climb over and under. I got it at a consignment fair and he has not stopped sliding on it since! He is thrilled and he definitely uses it to climb all over instead of me and my couch! It definitely has helped a lot on these rainy afternoons.

I've been re-watching That 70's Show. Have you ever watched the entire series the whole way through? It's on Netflix and I highly recommend it. It's such a hilarious show and I have watched it the entire way through at least 4 times. It's one of my favorite shows and one of the only shows whose series finale did it justice.

So there is what you can do next time you're bored!

The sun's awake! So I'm awake!

Sunny week for the rest of the week! I am so happy with this news! Today we spent the greater part of the morning outside playing with friends and I hope to get my butt in gear and get outside for the rest of the week at some time. It also means more dog park time for B and Allie! Have I talked about how much B likes the dog park? Seriously. Almost more than the dogs! He loves running around the big open field and throwing the balls around for the pups. Sometimes he gets knocked over, but for the most part I make sure we are around friendly pups and the owners don't care. Anyway, the kids love running around so much at that park and there is a nice path to run around. Yay spring is here!
