may 23 (yes, I realize it's may 27, keep reading)

Well, so much for everyday May. It's now more like almost everyday May. Or everyday May for two-thirds of the month, then MIA for a few days. But almost everyday May is simpler to say.

And I'm Okay with almost everyday May. 

So, carrying on. 

...

Friday, we took the kids to the fair. It was super hot and super loud and super expensive. Everything the fair is supposed to be. Laci loved the animals, she probably would have put the rabbit in her pocket if it fit. Mia is still afraid of most of them, including the plastic ones on the carousel. 

She did like this fake cow, though. She called it the "glass cow." I suppose because it's shiny like glass. My favorite part was when she saw the momma pig feeding her babies, and after studying her for a bit, announced to the crowd, "That's where the milk is!"

And Noah, he's a trooper. Sweaty and hot, but mostly happy.

This was the first time Ryan was able to go to the fair with us, he's usually working. It was nice to have him with is instead of texting him pictures of the kids while he's at work.  

...

So, as for the rest of everyday May...maybe I'll continue tomorrow.

Mother's Day weekend...in pictures.

easter 2014

This could possibly be the world's most boring post to read. I just don't have the words tonight, but I wanted to share our pictures.  I hope you'll forgive me.

A few days before Easter, Noah took a nice, long nap and I was able to dye a few eggs with the girls.

A few days later, the girls dyed eggs with Ryan's mom, including a nice glitter coating to make them sparkle.  We ate a few of these eggs the other day...glitter everywhere.  But that's nothing new around here.

And the holiday itself was very nice.  Good time with family, perfect weather, almost perfect children.  I feel like there is much more to say, but I'll just let the pictures tell the story.
