spring

We are back from our fun spring break trip. I'm going through photos for the post. This one of Eden is from our flight to Orlando. There was a thunderstorm that peaked as we were to make our descent. So we circled around in the gulf for a couple of hours and then were diverted to Tampa to refuel. Finally, we were cleared to get into Orlando. The kids were super great - we were on that plane for a LONG time. Towards the end of the trip, I asked Eden to smile for me and she made this face.  Pretty much summed up how we were all feeling. We all got a good laugh. She can be such a silly girl!

The weather around here is warming right up. 80s and 90s. Phoenix Spring! Saturday chores include increasing amounts of yard work. And our days of breezy, comfy afternoons are numbered. It makes me a little itchy for school to be done next month so we can get right to our summer schedule of pjs, swimsuits, and having this baby. :)

Grant and Edes and I take the occasional picnic to the park before preschool.

Grant and Eden were invited to a fun Easter luncheon before we left. I would like to point out that my children are the ones with the reusable Walmart bags instead of Easter baskets. I located the Easter boxes the day of the party. They were trapped beneath all the Christmas stuff. One has to choose one's battles now and then. The kiddos didn't seem to notice.

Aunt Tiff is staying with us for a bit while she and Brett get settled into their new home and new jobs in St. George. Grace's principal got a grant for their school and was awarded at a Diamondbacks game earlier this week. Anyone who wanted could have free tickets to the game. We stayed through the top of the 7th inning. Despite having a piano lesson and homework, Gracie made time to whip up a sign before we left.
