What an amazing week! I love, love, love it when Carolyn is here. We spent the entire week gossiping, giggling and talking nonstop. It was fantastic. The kids loved having Aunt Mur around to play with. Breuklyn even got to have a special Breuklyn & Aunt Mur day. Priceless.So... what did we actually accomplish, you ask?
We had a big birthday party for Paizlee complete with ginormous cupcake-cake. Yum.
We planted some Easter grass to use as decoration for some glitter eggs.
We made beads out of salt dough. What? You don't make your own jewelry? Carolyn and I had a Salt Dough Jewelry Throwdown.
We played with sidewalk chalk. Um, hello super cute striped leggings!
We painted our salt dough beads. (I will have a blog about this later this week. You MUST try this)
And then my dad flew in from Virginia! (Boy were his arms tired) He gave Breuklyn lots of tips for softball.
In just a few days, the Easter grass grew! Well, it is really Rye grass, but I am calling it Easter grass. I am just dying to use my scissors to give it a little trim. Hee Hee!
AND I made a mini-album for my 29 goals for my 29th year. This is my favorite project of all time. Love it.That's what I have been up to, what about you?? My dad flies home tomorrow and then school starts back on Monday after 2 weeks of Spring Break. We will be right back into the thick of things and all I can think about is a road trip to Virginia to see my family!
