I did not forget about posting yesterday {which is unusual since I usually need a reminder for a reminder-I call it mommy brain}.  We had received news on Thursday that my husband’s grandmother passed away and the funeral was yesterday.  She was a very lovely woman and welcomed me with open arms the day I met her.  She lived a full life of 83 years but sure didn’t act her age.  She will surely be missed by many.

Onto happier news….my hubby took the kids on an adventure and this is the “surprise” they brought home for mommy!  I HATE snakes; the feel, the look, the everything about them!  Sure, it’s only a gardener snake but I just don’t like ‘em!  My husband once put one in a my school bag in high school….I still vow to get him back one day for that!  But I do know that when I attempt to prank him, I get it back ten-fold!  Anyway, here’s my boy with his new slimy friend.  I did convince him to let it go slither somewhere else!

Here’s my daughter with all her golden locks blowing in the breeze!  From the day she was born I’ve been waiting for her to get some hair on her head so  I can play with it.  Three years later I’m still waiting.  I then had some hope my other daughter would be born with a full head of hair….that didn’t happen either.  And now almost 14 mo old, I’ve just accepted that my daughter’s probably won’t have any hair on their heads until their probably teenagers!  {sigh} 

I’m sure thankful spring is finally here.  Although the next week isn’t sounding too promising for spring-like weather with snow in the forecast!  blah!

I get “Family Fun Magazine” and if you’ve never even glanced through it, it’s worth a peek.  I know on rainy days when the kids tend to get a little crazy or especially over the long, winter months like we have here, it’s tough to keep kids busy/entertained.  There are a lot of neat printables, crafts, and some fun recipes to try out and in this month’s magazine you’ll find fun stuff for Easter.  I think I’m going to try the tip for dyeing Easter eggs that someone sent in:  put the eggs in wire whisks.  The whisks hold the eggs securely so kids can dip them without dropping and cracking them.  I think I’m going to play a prank on my kids on April fools with the edible fake eggs & bacon recipe!  Check it out  

Anyway, that’s all I have for this week.  Check back again next week {on Monday}!

In the meantime, live, laugh, & love the one you’re with
