our sweet Lukie turned 6!
we made some cupcakes for his kindergarten class.
the umbrellas were his idea.
"to make us think of summertime!"
(that's my boy)!
Here's his Birthday Morning Greeting.
We don't have many traditions, (they wear me out)
but this one has held strong and is a special gift for them as individuals. He got spy gear and some other smaller items.
The kids are really into being spies.
Getting ready to CELEBRATE our
strong, independent, sensitive, inquisitive, daring, studious,
silly, fast, creative, hard-working, spice-loving LUKE!!
He wanted a "healthy, exercise party!"
This was one of his pages of writing from school.
so precious!
The equivalent of our March madness.
Sunday afternoon gamefest.
Spring??
The calender says Springtime
so I will decorate as such!
The benefits of being married to a landscaper.
He brought boxes of pansies home one day after work.
While cleaning the flowerbeds this past weekend I was having the boys help me dig out the "wild onions", (onions are one of Luke's favorite foods). I didn't know where he had disappeared to and then I found him inside preparing the onions for dinner!
"Mom, I love the smell of onions!"
Attack of the Leaf Blower!
Jake and I tackled our yard on Saturday.
We're a good team and finished quickly!
The boys saved up for their first big purchase, (we helped a bit).
They were so proud of what their "dollars" could do.
This lady can be glad we took all their change to the bank
and got dollar bills instead!
Easter dreams. xoxo.
Easter reality.
Ye sleeping buds, break
Open your green cerements, and wake
To fragrant blossoming for His sweet sake.
