We're Goin' On a Hunt....

Before this awful GI bug hit our house, I was able to take the boys out for a nature walk to our neighborhood playground. Andrew took a box to "collect" things and we did lots of exploring. Those of you who know me (my only 2 readers!) know that I don't do nature, but being the mom of 2 little curious boys, I'm gonna have to get over myself! I do love watching them explore and taking pictures, that's a start!
 Andrew: "Okay Carter, you need to stay with me"


 Carter decided to take a rest in the middle of our walk!
 monkey see......











 Andrew talked me into going though a "cave" that was actually a drainage tunnel on our street. As we came out the other side (picture me hunchbacked) we were greeted by tons of these thorns. We were all 3 literally stuck and now have scratches all over us.... exactly why I don't do well in nature!

Pink

I've never been a huge fan of Valentines Day and made sure to teach Andrew that it's not a "holiday". This being said, I still LOVE making Valentines crafts, treats, cookies, pancakes and buying gifts! I have to build up this day at least for my boys.... their wives will thank me one day!

Chocolates for breakfast!

 mouth full of candy!

 yummy pancakes!

Quick Trips

I've gone to Nashville twice now in the past month to help take care of my mom after her knee surgery. My sister has been like Superwoman, managing her own household and my mom's so it's the least I can do to pop in for a few days every now and then! I feel like I'm more of a burden than a help with my 2 boys in tow but what can you do?!?! I think watching all 4 grandkids run around playing together has been the best medicine for her anyways! Not too much time to take pictures but here's a few...
 when did Merrick get so grown up? I don't like it at all.

 Have had the best time with this little momma! She's my favorite little girl!

The Family Bed!

 I love watching my boys jump, wrestle, dance, fight and snuggle in our bed!
