EggS

spring break is finally here! Now that there is a chance of snow flurries Tuesday =( But I am glad to be off work. I get to go over my parents and catch up with friends..& hopefully organize the toy chaos.

Here are some eggs my class collected. I let the kids keep there favs & then took turns with the rest. With twelve classes there was a whole lotta eggs to be hunted....which took all of two minutes! looking forward to two more egg hunts next weekend!! We forgot to die eggs last year!...hopefully we will get to this year. Every year my parents helped my brother & I make the best swirly tie-dyed Easter eggs. Later on I would take a bite or two...but never! the yolk. My mom would eat them so they wouldn't go to waste.

I am ready to break out my spring/summer clothing and the kids' too!
...I had a Boden coupon & their free shipping 15% off stuff ,,so I bought these two shirts for a total of $27. I am a sucker for sewn appliquesI like this too, but I am not paying $39 for it... Now this is from Mini Boden too...for the girls. How great are these outfits? hey I would wear that blue tank & yellow skirt and rock the sunglasses with the eight year olds =)

mo green

Spring soccer is in full swing. oh that neon green again. Much better than the neon orange I say. Paul is coach again and our coed teams happens to be all boys this time. It's fun to have some of his same teammates from past seasons. I just wish they had real uniforms...it just really bothers me.

a week and a half until spring break!!!!!!

St. Patrick's Day

all green from today. My dad's fave color. ...celebrating my 25% Irish =)

snow daze

hooray for a snow day from school!
We had a blast in the snow, having hot chocolate by the fire, and eating too much. I had fun taking photos in the wet snowflakes with a bag over my camera..ha! Avery acted like she played in the
snow every day

so beautiful against the bright blue sky the next day, melting snow, crisp air, the tinest buds awaiting to bloom...

...it reminded me of cotton

I FINALLY started on Twilight. I do not know what took me so long, but I am now addicted!!! I have read two and cannot wait to start the third!!


....now the weather is in the 70's!!!!

Winter's last hurrah..hopefully. It snowed on the first day of March and still lots to play in the next day. In fact, there are still traces of snow left around. We enjoyed the snow, but I am glad to see it go.

...more to come

Dinah

our sweet, crazy, smart {at least to me =) } doggie is now is doggie heaven. ...with Avery's fish Bryce said. Paul and I got Dinah in the late summer of 1998. We saw a flyer at a gas station near Paul's school about some dogs that needed homes... so we drove to the house/farm to see. Paul saw a cute little puppy named Lulabelle and we had to take her home. The name was not a fit...so we named her Dinah {somehow came from Diner}. She was so hyper and nuts running around, jumping so high. She was a ball! No one was quite sure what she was, but she has some whippet and beagle in her. So glad we had her in her puppy stage in the college house we lived in that's for sure! I'll never forget when she ate a box of moon pies or nibbling on the batteries. Oh how she loved to watch other dogs on TV. She was our first baby... and then when Bryce was born, Dinah never bothered him or messed with his baby toys. But she never quite took a liking to him either. Dinah just wanted to be loved on by adults rather than the kiddos. She wasn't good to take on walks~ oh how I tried when we lived in our apartment when I first started teaching. But she was there to greet you when you got home her tail waggin'. She loved to curl up next to you or rub your legs wanting to be pet. I think she thought she was part cat. =)
She was really a sweet dog...I miss her tons.
love you Dinah!
