What Matters ...

 Today was the first day of a new photography class I'm involved in ... Lens Mama:  Finding Focus! My assignment today was to go into each room of the house and take a photo of what matters to me in that room.  The purpose was to really see what matters in my life and photograph it in some way.

Living Room 
This is the end of the couch where I sit to relax, mostly after the kids go to bed!  It's not the most comfortable couch but it works for relaxing and napping!

Dining Room
We very rarely use our dining room table to eat on.  But we do use it for Legos a lot!  It's the perfect size for building and playing on.

Spare Bedroom
This room, like our dining room, is not often used for it's intended purpose.  Rather it's a catch all for outgrown and seldom used baby/toddler items.  It holds a lot of memories!

S's Room
This is my favorite part of S's room ... the rocking chair and bookcase.  We read every night in this chair.  It was in D's room as a baby and has seen many miles of rocking!

Kid's Bathroom
The monkey shower curtain reminds me that my kids are little and take life a little less serious!

D's bedroom
These doll beds were made by my dad for me when I was about D's age.  I loved them (and all the other doll furniture he made) and it makes my heart swell with joy to see them being played with by my own daughter!

Our Bedroom
This speaks for itself!

 Kitchen
The kitchen table is the center of the house.  The place we eat, craft, learn, and spend time together EVERY DAY!

Great Country Farm

Image
Today to celebrate Spring Break we ventured to Great Country Farm.  We went last year at Spring Break also.  The kids had so much fun, when I asked what they wanted to do this year the first thing they said was "Great Country Farm!"  So we packed up the van with kids and grandparents and off we went. Just like last year, the kids had a blast playing on the slides and bouncy pillow.  Like last year I went down a few slides too.  Unlike last year I paid attention to the "12 and under" sign and stayed off of the bouncy pillow!  The kids also fed some goats, bounced on pigs, climbed on a bunch of wooden obstacles, and tried out the rope swing. And of course, no trip is complete without a little gem hunting! Last, but not least the kids rode the cow train.  S was till upset we didn't do this last year.  He definitely enjoyed the ride more than D!

Happy Easter

Image
I hope you and your family had a wonderful, happy Easter!  Ours sure did!!!!   We started the fun on Saturday evening by decorating Easter eggs.  We managed to spill 0 cups of egg dye and I only cracked 3 eggs while boiling them.  As you can see, egg dying is a serious and thought provoking experience in our house. The Easter Bunny left baskets on the table and hid eggs downstairs for the kids on Easter morning.  The baskets had an art book, a book to read, Mad Libs, Tsum Tsums, one small toy, and some chocolate.  We spent the afternoon with family having another egg hunt and dinner.  It was a great way to spend a warm, Easter Sunday!

Here Come the Police!

Image
Like most little boys, S is obsessed with anything that moves, makes noise, and has buttons.  I guess that's why one of his favorite toys right now is a remote control police car he got from my parents.  He drives around, where he wants it to go.  Although he does point the control backwards most of the time so when he pushes the reverse arrow it actually goes forward.  When it drives it makes siren noises.  Plus it has buttons on the car and the remote to push.  What more could a three year old boy want from a toy?!?!?
