I had a great mother's day.  Part of the festivities included this Menu prepared by my husband.  (Have I mentioned he's the best?  He certainly cracks me up.)


Mother’s Menu

Ouch!

Poor Alec .... he has a hard time walking because he is always looking backwards.  He took a tumble yesterday that looks terrible.  He's being a good sport and I'm trying to keep it moist and clean.  It's a good think that these kiddos heal quickly.

Ben's poster

Ben made this collage in school and wanted to post it on the fridge.  He got his own magnet out and placed it on there himself.  He has grown so much.  We are sure proud of our handsome man!

Ben wants to take a scuba diving class.  (He really wants to go on a Disney cruise.)  We'll see what the next few months of swimming brings.

Rollerskating Party

We finally decided to finish the basement and install carpet.  We removed everything that was in the room and laid down a moisture barrier and then had the carpet guys come.  The weekend that the furniture was removed we decided to have a skating party.  John Michael  came over and the kids rode round and round. In hindsight we probably should have just padded the floor and walls and made a jungle gym down there -- through in a zipline and the kids would have been in heaven. 

 

We put the furniture back and now are enjoying our playroom/media center.  Joseph still has to put the doors back on, but we are nonetheless loving our basement retreat. 

 

Sun-porch

Last night we ate dinner on the back porch.  The kids loved it.  They were so cute with their little tables and want to eat out their more often.  I'm hoping that the spring weather sticks around which will enable us to enjoy the sunporch.

Mad Alec

Check out these eyebrows!

I like these much better.  He's such a cutie.

Spring in Central NY

Spring in Central NY is sooooo beautiful.  This year has been particularly lovely.  We have had several weeks of sunshine and 70 degree weather.  We have been outside every day and soaked up the sun.  The kids have gotten lots of mileage out of the climbing pyramid and the trampoline.  The sandbox has been a hit too.

 

 

 

 

Bleeding Heart

Mom this post is for you.  Here is the Bleeding Heart that you gave me last year.  It has done so well and seems to love it's location.  I am so pleased with it.  It gives just the right touch to the front landscape.  Come see it in person!
