 daddy still had the best hair.... what was left of it.

day 1 and 5 were just pajama day and school spirit day... 2 days where i could actually rest.

a fluffy pink lump...

 hmmm.... i wonder what this lump could be?

 those toes do not look like Eva or Cora's...

oh! its my big honkin husband snuggling with a couple of kitties, resting his head on a pillow pet, warm and toasty under a fluffy pink blanket...

just another sunday afternoon nap...

back to school times 2...

 its official... 

 ...all the people go to school all day!

what am i going to do with all this free time? oh the wheels are turning... 

we have been having so much fun getting dressed in the morning, its like a mini fashion show every day, mixing and matching {even some sister swapping has been occurring!} gotta have the right accessories and hair...

too cool for school...

and this is what momma is left with...

bites...

this is what all my sandwiches look like if i turn my back for a second...

i wonder who it could be?

whoops...

hard to believe that this...

grew up to be this...

 and did this...

...to our car...

 yep its true... quite an arm on that kid... too bad when she was trying to show her friends her amazing softball pitch {never played a game of softball in her life} she happened to be showing them with a rock and happened to release the ball  rock a pinch early...

 blessing in disguise: there was a whole line of cars at that party and she happened to hit ours...

miracles happen.

hey, we are still smiling... windshield  replaced and ready for our 30 hour drive to UT

{don't worry, we really replaced it!}

little water fountains...

i told those little monsters to go pick me some peonies for the kitchen table and this is what i get...

a giant peony explosion in our tiny wading pool...

... laugh it up little monster, you guys are SO funny...

 "but mommy, i just wanted to pretend to be a water fountain"

can't really argue with that logic.

 of course Cora wanted in on all the fun...

 and daddy was MORE than happy to help her out with that...

its my birthday....

 ...and i can eat playdough cake if i want to!

 doesn't that just look delicious!

 i woke up in the morning to some crazy kids yelling at me to stay upstairs... because it was a surprize!

"5 more minutes mommie"

about 45 mins later i came down to see this

 ...a streamer surprize...

 ...a breakfast surprize...

 ..a cake surprize {can you see the high heeled boot?}...

 and some fancy presents!

 don't forget nutty kids..

..and a handsome husband...

they got me this..

 SOOOOO excited!

such a fun morning... with such a sweet family! i am so blessed!
