Park Junkie?

What a nice Friday, we started the day with a visit and donuts from Grandpa, then after lunch we headed to Freestone park for a little sunshine and play.

I've become a park junkie, another marathon 4 hour day at the park!  Today we ventured to Freestone Park to feed the ducks which lead into riding the rides, rolling down the hills and then going on a real egg hunt. We never even made it to the playground.

We learned that bread is actually bad for ducks
so we brought oats

All day ride pass for 4 was $36.00.
The girls road that much in probably the first  half hour.

A real egg hunt, we found 3 nests in our quest!
"No girls we can't take them home"

Desert Color Walk

Day 3 of Spring Break:  My Jellybeans enjoyed a leisurely day, playing in their pj's watching a few cartoons and then they started to sound like an old married couple bickering and arguing. Time to get out of the house!  We grabbed some drinks and went on a color walk as the desert is in full bloom. They shared the camera and actually took some great picture, my two favorites:

Love all the color this time of year!

Mirror Mirror

Though my heart belongs at the beach 24/7, I have to say I LOVE staying home during spring break. Having time to get organized and enjoying projects.  Nothing exciting, no trip to Italy, just simple satisfaction.

Day 2 of Spring Break Highlights: 

Framed the bathroom mirror!

Met with the photographer and choose the girls fairy pictures!
Can't wait to show you all!

The girls made homemade yogurt popsicles!

Loved eating outside, the kids playing and staying up late!

Spring Break Day 1

We are staycationing here in Arizona. Its 82 why go any where else? Todays adventure was an afternoon spent playing outside at Scottsdales McCormick Railroad park, riding the rails.

When we arrived

4 hours later...still smiling

Welcome Spring! 

You Want One...You Know You Do

Its that time of year, to satisfy ones addiction!  We've been spending part of each weekend dealing cookies on the street, enticing innocent victims to give into their addiction.

The girls get so excited when they make a sell or generate a donation for their troop! Really how can one say No to these cookie pushers?

Take our poll and let us know what your cookie of choice is! 

Introducing

What a busy but fun week but I am one pooped momma.

We adopted this little fellow from the pound. He is super sweet, and coming out of his shell. He has the energy I wish I had! Taking the girls to the pound, was a great life lesson on responsibility and provided good conversation on the way home.

Days of Our Lives

 We have been having maintenance projects completed, feels great!  Though it has turned our home into a bit of disarray and out of sync.    While the work is done there is always time for a little homemade fun. 

The girls had fun learning how to make fresh juice. We made lemonade and grapefruit juice.

Painting a sister is always fun! Bath paints: shaving cream & food coloring.

   Stamping roses with the end of a bunch of celery! Who would have thought!           

Playing games in the evening, HeadBanz is the big hit right now.  

The girls helped me make signs to collect valentines for a school in need.

This coming week with valentines and Sadie's birthday promises to be another week of smiles.  Today we are working on finishing their school valentine boxes and will enjoy our Arizona winter with outside play.
