The home stretch

We were in the home stretch before summer break but the next couple of weeks were very busy!

Mother's Day Weekend

The weekend started off strong. 

We made a very efficient trip to Lowes for some homemade Mother's Day gift supplies. 

We came home and got down to business. 

While we let our masterpieces dry, Hadley "assisted" in putting Case down for a nap. 

She was also instrumental in getting him up from his nap. 

We filled our hand painted pots with flowers and posed for some pictures. 

This was around the time that Case became obsessed with mowing grass. "Dada mow grass" has been a favorite phrase of his for several months now. 

On Sunday morning the kids sat in a moment of harmony while eating breakfast before we headed to church. 

After church we made some special deliveries that were well received. 

We ended the weekend with some selfies.

After the kids went to bed I got started on my Mother's Day present! 

When I was a kid we didn't have Lego sets like this so I'm reliving my childhood and loving it! I even let my family help me build some of it...because I'm nice. A family that Legos together stays together. 😊

Pizza night

The kids LOVE to make pizzas. 

Case eats as much while making the pizza as he does once it's actually cooked. 

Hadley's little masterpiece. 

Yogurt is delicious and messy. 

Off to a bath. 

We like to party

What's more fun than a cardboard box?

Our family portrait by Hadley. 

We hosted a baby shower and there were kids everywhere! 

8 kids and the oldest was Hadley (4 years old). L to R: (never mind the headless man) Boone, Sam, Kit, Max, Hadley, Case, me, Lucy, Annie, and Barret. 

Case is saying "cheese" in this picture. 

Life

Case taking a ride on his sister's new toy. It passed his inspection. 

Hadley's really gotten into giving free "makeovers." And she is so proud of her work. 

Toy garage

Hadley's school had an open house that she was excited for us to attend. As we're walking up to the school I realized that I had read the reminder email incorrectly and the open house was the previous night. Oops! She was still really excited to show us some new stuff outside the school. 

So it wasn't a total bust.
