If I Don’t Survive

my trip

during Spring Break

to L.A.

and then over to Las Vegas

by myself

with all my children

that I’m taking

because I don’t see my husband any way

and I don’t think it’s fair to the kids that we never do anything

because we have

too many kids

just know that I appreciate all of your love and support

over the past 7 years

as I’ve documented our life

from potty training

and poop smearing

to new babies

and antiquing trips.

I just wanted you all to know that.

Now, on to this week’s pictures.

Not my best picture taking week, but I’m still a good person, and you’ll probably end up scrolling through it anyway…

Meg rollerskating

Window washing.

The kids were working to earn the movie Moana.

Fingernail painting

Outside because the weather is turning warmer.

 

Libby showing off, not to be out done.

 

 

 

An unfortunate placement during the bubble bath

 

Washing the graffiti off the walls. 

That he did.

Instead of taking a nap.

And because I was outside with the leaf blower:

 

 

And an indoor tea party.

 

Hope you have fun plans for Spring Break, which I’d love to hear about, and if you’ve already survived Spring Break, feel free to share any tips,

Katie

It’s Officially Spring…ish

Moods are much improved.

And having more light in the evening thanks to daylight savings certainly isn’t hurting.

We even turned off the heat in the afternoon two whole times this week.

I planted my cold weather stuff and our peach, apricot, and nectarine trees are all blossomed.

Spring is basically my favorite thing right now.

{If you ignore the fact that I’ve seen my husband for like a total of three hours this week.}

These pictures are not in order and the whole watermark thing is funky but since I have to desire to start drinking, I’ll have to figure it out at another time.

And…if you can’t tell black and white was the theme for the past two weeks.

Which was super fun to practice, but I don’t think it’s for me.

I think it portrays my life with too much stillness.

Obviously not the case…

Flying airplanes

Elizabeth taught Libby to pick the flowers.

So…there go all my bulbs.

Elizabeth was elected to represent her school for the spelling bee.

So we celebrated with donuts.

 

Meg rediscovered the roller skates.

And how Adeline felt about piano practice.

Meg working on one of those maze ball thing a jigs.

Pillow fight!

 

A morning bubble bath.

 

 

At the park

 

More hyacinths

 

 

 

Playing

 

Bennett on the trampoline is basically my favorite thing to photograph.

 

 

Sometimes we have a dance party once dinner is ready and we’re waiting for Bryce to get home so we can eat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, hope your first half of the month was pleasant and you’re enjoying some nicer weather!
