Today was one of those days. Not in a totally bad way but my rhythm was just off. The kids were antsy at church, the better part of the afternoon was spent in a tearful battle of the wills, little disobediences kept me reeling and questioning my parenting skills... or lack of them, and we finished the night completely over stimulated.
I. am. exhausted.
However, as I write, the kids are in bed, My Love is asleep, the house is clean... enough, and I am sitting right here to rest my aching feet and show you what happened LAST week.

Marli calls out, "Yook Mommie, Kitties iz besfwend wit me, gittup an takkah pitture." Which translated means, "Look Mommy, the kitty is best friends with me. Take a picture."
So I did.

There is a jump in the temperature so at the very persistant begging from the kids I broke out the kiddie pool, hose and bathing suits. The best thing about it, besides the joyful laughter, was that we were able to skip baths because they became self-cleaning. Now theres a concept!
Look at Marli (the one in turcoise). Ya think that water was a little cold? LOL

The weather held out for another day so we brought all the snakes out to catch some rays and stretch their... um... legs? The gray one is Mocha, the red one is... Red, and the red one with white markings is Candy. They DO NOT come when called. :-p

Kiah's ballet teacher is moving. This was her last class :-( We are not yet sure if Kiah will continue with another teacher. I think she is ready to try something else. Maybe piano.

I Have no pictures for this day and I can't, for the life of me, remember anything from this day. I'm thinkin' alien abduction...
Friday, April 24th
Kiah's friend Elizabeth came to spend the night. A humming bird followed her in the door. I caught it after it bonked into a window. It was sooooooooo tiny and delicate. It felt like I was holding a rose petal.
After all the kids got a chance to poke... er... pet it I took it outside and as soon as I opened my hand it flew up and away with a loud hum. One of the best moments of my life.
After dinner the girls decorated cupcakes. And decorated and decorated and decorated and decorated. Those poor cupcakes never had a chance.
Saturday, April 25th
The girls had a great time playing dress up and having a princess parade.
Grandpa came over for dinner (floating tacos, mmmmmmm) and cake and presants.
Happy 59th Birthday Dad!

Cannot WAIT to break out the pool - still a bit too cold here, but we're gettin there!
And LOVE the princess parade - too much fun!

great week!!! we opened our pool and my son and his girlfriend got in...VERY cold!!!
oh the humming bird...how cool that you got to hold one!!!
the girls looked like they were having so much fun!!
Ok exactly what is a floating taco? I'm picturing what happens when a kid drinks out of a cup after eating tacos and leaves some behind... Surely even you woudn't serve that unless it is someone you hate!
The snakes... pretty but um... no.
And the Hummingbird! WOW i'd love to hold one.
Hummingbirds and snakes...playing in the pool and cupcakes...sounds like a great week!
What a fun week. I especially like your allien abduction day. ; )
Oh my goodness I can't believe you got to hold a hummingbird! My parents have a feeder outside their home and I love watching them when we are over there.

Kiddie pools are awesome, princess pictures are too. But those snakes.... oh my. Too much for me.
What a fun idea to have a weekly recap! I love all the pictures. And I bet you made the snakes really happy by letting them out in the real world for a bit. :) So cute.
