a nature haiku

family nature hikes

searching, exploring, learning
walking in the rain

looking for cool rocks
splashing in every puddle
naming wiggly worms

Aller-geeze!

I, along with just about everyone else this time of year, am suffering with allergies. It is nothing new to me, I have had seasonal allergies to some extent for years and years and usually the over the counter meds will take care of things... not this time. Whatever it is that is in the air is kicking my butt something fierce.

My little man is on two different allergy medications, but they seem to be working pretty well thankfully.

My other man, who has never ever had allergies his entire life has gone to the doctor to seek relief from this mucousy cough which is unheard of for him.

So far Miss Meg has a couple of sneeze attacks and gunky eyes, but that's about it and hopefully that is how it will remain.

So as beautiful as all of the budding and flowering trees are, I'll be glad when they are gone this year so I can resume my life as a non-medicated zombie!

Easter Highlights

We had a great Easter weekend... the weather was gorgeous and the Easter Bunny filled the kids' baskets with some awesome goodies!

Of course he hid the eggs in the backyard and we had to hunt for them in our jammies.

He even hid the baskets! So the kids had to find the baskets before the hunt could begin!

Then we went to church, and then to my mom and dad's house!

All in all it was a great day!!

St. Patty"s Party

Over the weekend our friends threw their annual St. Patty"s Party. Lots of fun, friends we
hadn't seen in a long time and tons of kids.
I got a kiss from the cutest leprechaun ever!

...and made a fun rainbow cake.

I would go into more detail, but this cutie is snoring, rather loudly, in my arms as I type... isn't she adorable?

A Glimpse into our Future...

glimpses of green peeking through!

baseball... lots and lots of baseball.

daily walks around the block.... sometimes multiple times!
Happy Spring!!!!
