ALL or NOTHING

ALL:

all the random pictures from my phone

NOTHING:

really to write home about

These first pics are the hoyty toyty fashion show i helped with. 

Save the Date: my boys will showcase something Not HALF as fancy as these beautiful frocks.... But at the time i will THINK so, wink wink.

 i was assigned to helping get ready, entertain, & KEEP CLEAN a family of 4.... The assignee thought i could handle it.  And i did mainly because they are 4 of the best behaved children i have ever seen..... 

 And this mama is VERY VERY VERY lucky that she got this next baby of hers back.... I really really wanted to strap her into one of my car seats and take off..... I hope i don't see her in public soon or i will plea to take her home with me......

Could you NOT eat her up? 

  And her little sweet name as they call her anyway is Bebe Kate!!!! i mean, really, could it be any cuter?

 And dear margaret & emily were modeling superstars kicking us off

 Home 4 hours away from Home

 And at VERY RANDOM, my littlest lamb has started carrying around the very blanket i cover him up with at night..... Just what i need ONE MORE lovey to  locate, sneak and wash, and keep up with.... 

 my little fish.

 and because you just never know... My middle baby dressed himself in his swim suit... when you have been swimming everyday for 8 days you assume you are probably going again... NEGATIVE on that one.... But what we were lucky enough to do is load up for the grocery store... No coffee in the am after a long vacation is close to painful..... but INSTEAD we veered to the right and turned left into the zoo.... The beauty of young children is mostly you have all day to get anywhere you wish with no where to be... Its a wonderful feeling for me!!!

 we stayed for 3 1/2 hours just wandering around.... We didn't know if we would be there 10 minutes or longer....it was LONGER!  And we had no snacks, juice, treats, etc.  "see boys, i knew you could do it"

 And while i usually do NOT spring for extra costing entertainment when not needed, i DID today... Why not i guess?   I usually say "no, not today" and they usually all three say "ok mom" so i just go with it but today i said "sure why not"  

 we ran into friends and the kids played while we had a quick chat (note to self:  why did you not snap a pic of all the kids playing?) While a 10 second hide and seek game was played out, my monkey picked me some flowers.... THey are weeds, shhhh! so it was safe bet that the zoo wouldn't mind and that his mama LOVED them.  

 my littlest lamb is a train LOVER, not toy trains but to RIDE a train.... so we did!!!  we DO usually ride the train and i usually ALWAYS have stocked tokens in my wallet just for this.

 And just for fun we got out our Easter decor which does NOT consist of much AT ALL.

 dear self,

there is a reason you remembered

to wait until a week before Easter last year.

the pick up is well, a pain and enough to do me in all together.

 2 outta 3 baskets is not bad

 the other one was located at the neighbors of course...

Dear Neighbors,

don't hate us, we just want you to decorate too????  does the RULE the more the merrier apply to tacky plastic eggs and baskets????  

And every year i say, i am going to get some more decent looking Easter decor or have NONE at all and once again i am dealing with what i have and calling it an Easter Celebration.  Yes, i do realize we have a whole month to clean up eggs and find matches to reconnect them.... yay!!!!
