Is It Spring Yet?

March 29, 2013

Spring!! Spring is finally coming…slowly but surely. We aren’t into our shorts yet but it will be soon. So why is it that I can’t get my kids to take pictures anymore? Spring fever? They just give me these blah faces when I pull out the camera…I want to capture their sweet smiles, how their eyes light up when they are happy, etc. Maybe next time! Yay for warm-ish weather….

On another note...here is a look into reality: Playing at home in our jammies! Caleb is totally obessed with his Woody gear from Toy Story. He has worn his cowboy boots almost everywhere we go for the past 2 weeks. And one day I gave in and let him wear the whole get up (hat, boots, and belt) to Publix. I have learned to choose my battles wisely! And the kids are starting to interact and play together more...it is so sweet! They both love each other soooooo much. I hope they are always so sweet to each other and realize how special their bond is.

Okay...one look at their pj's and you would think that I love "character" themed stuff. NOT!! I refuse to buy clothing that has characters on it, call me weird- I just don't like it. But I compromise at pajamas. I know the time will come one day where I have to buy a certain T shirt or something that I don't like/isn't my style for the kids, so for now while there are little to no opinions...I will stick to no characters.

Hippity Hoppity...Easter's on it's way!!

Caleb was so excited for his Easter party at school!! They had a special lunch and then hunted Easter eggs. Sadly, it was very cold so they had to hunt inside...I am pretty sure they still had a blast. I was able to snap a few pictures of the kiddos before heading to school. I love their little Easter shirts!

The weekend of Easter there were tons of Easter egg hunts in town...we did not know which one to attend. Our Church did an egg hunt for the little kids but then the bigger ones had to do an egg roll- we almost went to this but then decided not to because they way the had it advertised sounded like all of the hunts/rolls were going on at the same time and I didn't want to miss out on one kids activity- plus the camera could only be in one place! Come to find out, they did them all at seperate times. Sigh. Anyways...we ended up at one of our favorite places- the Botanical Gardens for their Easter egg hunt. I liked theirs because they split it by age and had tons of activities going on in between the hunts. But it was SO crowded. Each kid's hunt only lasted about 30 seconds because there were so many kids. We were pretty dissapointed. But the kids had fun, it was a gorgeous morning and that's all that really matters!

Pre Easter Photo Shoot

So I thought I was being really proactive and smart when we decided to take a quick trip to the Botanical Gardens to take a few Easter pictures. We even took their baskets and eggs!! It was one of the first warm spring days we had and the kids were going bonkers to run around and just enjoy being outside...so not any fantastic shots, but a few keepers. And the funny part of this story? These are not the outfits they ended up wearing for Easter, ha! I ended up getting myself a light purple dress and totally changed our Easter wardrobes. Oh well...A for effort?!!!
