Easter was unusual for us…we had no plans. Our weekend travels got canceled due to the hand-foot-mouth debacle. Lucky for us it was a beautiful weekend and we completed most of the yard work we usually don’t accomplish until May. Bushes trimmed? Check. Flower beds cleaned out? Check.

As I mentioned previously, I’ve been following Molly and Caitlin with their Naked Face Project for the last 60 days. The last day is tomorrow. And although they’ve asked people to join in for one day…I am looking forward to a Saturday night out with friends and getting able to put on some nice(r)

Especially when you have a thousand things to carry and your toddler (you know which one) has no patience, multiple tantrums, runs away, etc. I always feel the biggest sigh of relief
This afternoon we went to the pool at my dad’s complex. Charlotte was sporting her beloved puddle jumper and Stella tried out some new water wings. They are both extremely different in the water…Charlotte is a fish and Stella screams in horror when the first water droplet hits her face. We’ve battled this with Stella
Just opened some inter-office mail from a friend. A friend who knows me well. She had included this. The coaster says it all…I totally agree! Made my day…thanks friend! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
