If only I could be this happy when I wake up

The second Allison wakes up she starts singing, laughing, & talking to herself. Not me...I drag myself out of bed and can't think quite straight for a few minutes after I wake up. A couple of days ago Allie woke up from her nap jumping in her bed. If only I could be this happy when I wake up.

March Madness

I'm not talking about basketball. I'm talking about our crazy March weather. This weekend Matthew played soccer in our backyard & we went to an Easter egg hunt. It was windy, but so warm this past weekend. Then...today... it snowed like crazy! I was kind of bummed this morning when I woke up to the white snow and realized that my a lot of my apricots probably froze again this year, but then I decided to look on the bright side of things. My dog won't be able to get sick off of eating too many apricots, I won't need to pick them off of the tree, I won't feel like I need to make apricot juice, AND I have to admit that it was REALLY pretty this evening after it snowed. I had to go out and take a couple of shots of my apricot tree.

If only all days could be Saturdays

Just a couple of pictures from yesterday.

Allison wanted to take her nap in a laundry basket...

When I finally got her to sleep in her bed, Matthew & I had fun making banana bread. When we were done, I told him thanks for his help. He said in his grown up way of saying things, "For sure Mom. It was no problem."

Discovery Gateway

I've been meaning to post these pictures for a few days & I'm finally getting around to it. We took the kids to Discovery Gateway last weekend and they had a blast. We ended up buying a membership, so we'll definitely be back. Here's a few pictures.

Matthew loved the drums.


Allison loved the balls that she could see get sucked up in the hoses.
