Another busy week ahead for us! It will be L's 9^th birthday on Thursday! I just realized today how tall that kid is getting! I don't know why these boys will not listen and stop growing up! Do any of you other mamas out there have that problem with your kiddos? I am so very proud of my boys, but they have already grown up way too fast for me! I wish we could just slow down the clock some times…

Lunches: Ham or PB & J Sandwiches, Leftovers, Fruit or Veggies, String Cheese, Hard Boiled Eggs, Granola Bars, Fruit Leather

Birthday Surprise!

Last Friday was my birthday. I was a big girl and went to work even though I really wanted to call a sub for the day.

Anyway, when I got home I was greeted by this…

(well it was still a whole cake when I first saw it)

And these…

And this…

I was so surprised! K made the cake himself, strawberry with pink frosting and sprinkles! It was so sweet and I love that he went to the effort to make something for me! I love tulips and I wanted to see Julie & Julia, so K made me feel wonderful!

Having a great hubby is definitely a finer thing in life!

Until next time,

My Life!

Wow things have been busy around here, but it's been a good busy.

This time of year I am really busy at school getting all the last minute materials covered so my kiddos are ready for state testing. We've practiced and I have seen so much growth, but April will be here before I know it so it really is crunch time! I like this time of year, but it is nerve racking too. We want to show everything they have learned, but they are still only 2nd graders! I wish I could take the tests for them, but I know they will do a great job!

We've also been busy at home getting the garden ready for planting. K and I have spent a lot of time battling weeds that the rains fed. I think we won! K has started tilling everything, so we might be able to put some rows of seeds down this weekend (if the rain stays away). I am so excited about our garden this year!! Last year we got a late start because the fence wasn't finished, but we're totally ready this year.

The boys have been doing great! N finished basketball last Saturday. He had a blast and gained some skills in the process. I loved playing basketball, so I am hoping he'll keep it up so we can play together! L and Z are doing their thing, computers! They crack me up on a daily basis. I am a lucky mama!

Last but not least I get to have another birthday on Friday! I am so grateful for everyday I get to spend with my boys! Getting to wake up in my life, crazy as it can get, is definitely a finer thing!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Until next time,
