Warm Weather Happiness

The first part of this week was beautiful!

Sunday was amazing! We had our dear friends over for some back yard fun! The kiddos loved playing with T! We set up the pool and water table. The Mr. boiled water to put in with the hose water so it wouldn't be too cold for the kids. They had a blast splashing around! And eating lots of snacks! :)

Love that a simple afternoon made so many of us happy! The kids and the adults! 

SWW!

 So What Wednesdays!    Go over to Life After I 'Dew' for more fun links! Here is what I'm saying So What to this week:
So What If ...

• I have the official count down going until summer...46 more school days! 45 if you don't count today! 
• I'm still working on fixing my new hair cut...ha! You should see me with the round brush and the blow dryer...hot mess! ha!
• Tucker went potty twice at school yesterday! This is a huge deal...we've been working on going potty for a looonnnggg time! 
• EK and O are doing a lot of screaming...not like crying...but screaming...the Mr. said that Tucker did that too but I don't remember that...it's crazy what you forget about motherhood! ha!
• I need to start working out again...but time is not in my favor!

Zoo Atlanta!

Last Saturday we went to the Zoo! Educators got free admission so we thought it would be the perfect time to go! 

The weather was iffy for a while...it was misty rain for the first 30-45 minutes. And it wasn't too cold. 

My sister and her boyfriend met us because they literally live across the street from the Zoo! It was so fun to have them with us! I bet they were like o my goodness by the end because of the craizness of having 3 kids at the zoo! :)

Tucker loved seeing all the animals that we read about in books. He LOVED the pandas, elephants and lions the best! The girls enjoyed it too...the bigger animals were better for them to see. 

We all rode the carousel and that was fun!

We packed a lunch to eat inside which was wonderful...we just stopped ate and kept going. 

We had such a great time! So glad we went! 

#notamomhaircut

I've been wanting some change with my hair for awhile. It's been long for a long time and it's kind of boring...I just wear it straight and down. I was in need of a GOOD hair cut...not the Great Clips kind of cut. 

I asked my MIL where she got her hair cut in PTC...I knew I would be there for a few days and I wanted to get it down before going back to work. I called and got an appointment where she goes. And she was so sweet to watch the kids while I went and got it cut.

So here are the before pictures:

The girl that cut my hair was so sweet and took her time making sure it was perfect! She took off 9 inches!! And she thinned it out a lot...I've never had that done before and I love it! She did it a little shorter in the back so it wouldn't lay funny with the short cut and then she put some layers in towards the front. I told her I did NOT want a mom cut...I wanted it shorter but didn't want it to look "mom-ish". 

I'm SO going back to her again!! 

Not let's hope I can style it as good as she did! :) 

Spring Break 2015

My Spring Break was this past week! It stinks that the Mr. doesn't have his Spring Break until April but me and the kiddos still made the best of it! Here's what we did Monday-Friday!

Monday, I took the kiddos to school for a bit so I could go get lots of errands done without them...errands aren't fun for them. I got the oil changed, vacuumed & cleaned my car, and did some things at home too. 

Tucker's been asking for sunglasses so I picked up some for him! He LOVES them! 

We went for a short walk when we got home on Monday. 

Crazy hair in the bathtub! 

Tuesday, I went to my good friends new house...she moved back in December and I haven't had a chance to go see it. Her house is beautiful and she explained all of our projects she is going to do. So fun! Then we went to lunch and walked around the beautiful town she lives in! We even toured one of the older homes! What a fun afternoon!

Then I went and picked up the kids and met one of my other good friends and her son for ice cream! YUM!

Tucker went potty on the potty Tuesday night so he got his Jake prize! He was SO proud! 

Wednesday we headed to PTC! The kids were SO excited! Tucker had been counting down the days!

Didn't take us long to go on a golf cart adventure! 

The girls helping carrying in the groceries!

Thursday started out with a big breakfast and play time at G and Pa's!

Bacon, boats and coffee with Pa!

Then we met up with Honey(my mom) and Aunt LK for lunch! 

EK had a very hard time sleeping at G and Pa's...usually she is fine...but we think it was a combination of me being home with them this week and not being in her own bed...we didn't sleep much at night and she only took short naps. 

Copying Pa...eating peanut butter off of a spoon! 

And the girls enjoyed some of Pa's popcorn!

Then we loaded up and went to the park and to visit Great Grandma!

Friday was super cold and rainy...we played inside in the morning. And then mid morning we loaded the kids up and went to the gym. We put the kids in the child watch and we did Zumba! SO fun!

 

Mama got the girls "Katie" outfits! :) 

Mama watched the kiddos Friday afternoon so I could go get my hair cut...more on that later! :) 

Tucker loved the shark towel! ha! :)

We had a great week off! Spring Break always makes me want summer to come quick. Just 9 more school weeks! WHOOP!

Happy Spring Break 2015!
