A Quiet Day At Home... What To Do?

-
Well, first, I should say- What A Crazy Weekend! We had 2 birthday parties for Lucy, and I got started getting sick on Friday. But, as I mentioned before, everyone is so busy, it wasn't really a possibility to move the parties. So, we trudged along. It was great to see everyone, and the kids had a great time. I was so exhausted from the weekend (and still had a fever), so I emailed the school to tell them- No Senora Ballard today!! Jason (BLESS HIM) took the kids to mother's day out and is going to pick them up, so I have ALL DAY at home, BY MYSELF! I literally don't know what to do!! I am feeling better, but I will be pretty lazy and rest. It is just REALLY weird to be here without anybody else (besides our first baby, Daisy May).



Mom's are so used to running around crazy, getting juice, changing diapers, putting in this movie, etc., that you really don't know how to act with quiet time like this. I am very thankful for these several hours. I know my body needs the rest time, and my mind probably does, too!!!!!

Wow! I hope you enjoyed your day off! You really deserved it. I'm already ready for a day off, and it's only Monday!! I think it's the weather; it finally got cold in Norman, and it's windy and raining, too. I just want to curl up under the covers, but NOOOO, I have CLASSES. Anyway...Hope you're feeling better, too!

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend

Happy Spring Break to Walker and Lucy!!

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...
