Spring is Coming! Spring is Coming! - Because I said so!!!

This morning Tyce got up around 6:30 asking if it was Easter!  It's my fault.  I am done with winter.  Granted, we haven't had your typical Michigan winter this year and I don't think the temps ever hit in the negatives, so I shouldn't complain too much, but I'm tired of the gloomy skies and the bare trees!  That is why yesterday the kids and I got out all of our Easter and Spring decorations.  It's time to add some color around here!!!

Of course a week ago we had a snow day with enough snow to build a ginormous snowman and just because the snow has melted does not mean that it won't come back, but I am ready for the sun to come calling again!  Even if it means that I will have to pick up plastic eggs for the next few months never knowing what may be inside them, it is worth it!  (yesterday it was dog food - no wonder the dog was crazy about the eggs!)

Here are some photos and video to give you an idea of the snow we got last week!
It takes a neighborhood and some smart thinking to make a snowman this big!
He was so tall we couldn't reach the top!
Jackson and the giant snowman!!

If at first you don't succeed... get Mom to put down the camera and use her height and strength to help!!

Playing Dress up...

It's fun to be a kid and their fun is often contagious, but sometimes you adults need to draw the line and remember that you are adults and it may be wise to put on your big boy pants... Lola and Tyce love to play dress up!  They like to put on the princess dresses, their brothers' clothes, my shoes, and even adorn themselves with objects like buckets or weeds!  When left to their own devices you just never know what they will get into next!  Lola as a princess Tyce as a pirate Sportin' some awesome shades She came up with this pose all on her own!  Promise!! What's a nice spring day without your winter boots? I also like to play dress up. (get your mind out of the gutter - that is not where I am heading with this)  My dress up is more of the actual dressing up .  You know, putting on the fancy dress, the nice jewelry, and the high heels to go out on the town for a rare childless meal and evening.  I also enjoy dressing up for Halloween and theme par

Making the Cut

I have been mowing lawns since I can remember.  I want to say I stared when I was in fourth grade, but maybe not.  We had a big yard growing up and it took forever to mow that thing!  We had a hill on the side of our house that was a challenge to get up and down.  After I was married we bought my childhood home so I mowed that one yard for well over 2 decades! I have mowed the lawn while listening to music, carrying a baby on my back, and even while running to try to get it done quickly!  I don't have one of those awesome fancy riding mowers with the cup holders and I don't do the fancy lines this way one week and another way another week.  I section off the yard and try to get it done as fast and as easy as I can.  Sometimes I miss spots, run into things, and obliterate sprinkler heads (which I did last week), but it does eventually get done! I have been mowing the yard every week since Spring came along this year.  I can't think of other women I know that mow their la
