Jon and I went on a date for his birthday. I know, right, a
date, apparently that's where you go out without the kids and get to finish the conversation you started in December. Anyway, we went to some antique/used furniture stores in Wooster and found this great armoire! We love the reddish inside and since this picture Jon has stained the shelves dark like the outside of the cabinet. So you see less red now. Also, we have more baskets to fill it with so you don't see as much as you can in this picture. But we were thrilled with it. We even fit it in the SUV! We had to take out both car seats, fold the back seats flat and lay the car seats on top of the cabinet but we over 1/2 inch to spare we were on our way home.
Emma asked me to take pictures of us outside. I didn't know she was making this adorable face until I saw the pictures later. She was cracking me up that entire day.
This is the closest thing I got to an Easter picture of the kids. They were sick on Easter so the next Sunday I dressed them up and still, only Emma and Jon went to church but I got this picture in the nanosecond that Grey held still.
Here's some more fun outside pictures. If you see my son outside at all this summer, you will see him attached to this large bubble tube. From the instant he wakes up he starts asking to go "ball" which means outside because he has a large kickball out there. Then he says "bubble, bubble bubble, bubble...". You get the picture. He won't stop saying it until he knows when we go outside so he can play with the bubbles.
And as of today, I didn't think to take a picture while it was still light outside, Jon bought and set up a large trampoline in our backyard. Grey isn't sure of it yet. He will sit on it if he is on your lap. Emma is gaining confidence as long as daddy isn't jumping too. Apparently he makes it "too bouncy". Is there such a thing when describing a trampoline?
I'm done with tax season and am helping out a few extra hours these next couple weeks to get through payroll taxes. I might get called in here and there over the next 8 months before next tax season.
Jon is plugging away at work. He's been so helpful and cheerful taking care of the kids and working during tax season. He's a sweetie!
So that's the story at our house. We are thankful that spring aways comes- No matter how hard the winter
