Uh oh!

Looks like our little monster has discovered where the kid's dishes are kept. This has become a new favorite game. It's called "Lauren makes a mess and Mommy cleans it up!" Fun for her.

Lovin' the smoothies!

A friend of mine from work says she makes smoothies every morning for her kids. She says it makes her feel good knowing they're getting a healthy start to the day. So, Amy and I have been giving it a try this week while we're on Spring Break. Yesterday we did raspberry and peaches. Today, we did banana and strawberries. That stuff in the jar might look like wheat germ, but it's actually "smoothie mix." This sounds much more appetizing to my big five-year-old girl. :)

Easter egg hunt

Yesterday (3/31) was the annual Easter egg hunt at Mohave High School. Amy had so much fun getting her face painted, coloring Easter pictures, seeing the Easter Bunny, and finally hunting for eggs. The entire football field was covered in colored eggs, which were filled with candy. The kids had that field cleared in a matter of minutes. I wish I had video of how excited Lauren (who was strapped to my tummy) got when the kids started running after the eggs. She was jumping up and down and kicking her feet. All in all, it was a great morning to hunt for Easter eggs.

Passed out!

I gave the girls a bath this evening and put Lauren in the jumper after getting her out. This keeps her from crawling on the bathroom floor and getting all wet. I left the room for about a minute to get Amy out and came back to find Lauren fast asleep in her jumper. I love how she's holding on with her little fingers. Of course, then I had to leave her in there for 10 minutes until her daddy got home to see her.

A fun day in the park

Today, we went to the Laughlin Park for a fun little nature walk for the kids. They got to make their own little thing to look through (forgot what it's called.) And then they got to walk and look for things. They found a feather and saw a bird's nest in a tree. It was so much fun. Then, they listened to a story about desert animals and got to pretend they were lizards, owls, and birds. Lauren was mostly trying to eat grass. haha. The best part was that everyone napped when we got home! Yay for Mommy! ;-)

Love the Laughlin Library

Tonight we went to the Laughlin Library for story time. Amy got to make cards for her friends and listen to a story. After story time, we attended "Family Fit." Amy had so much fun playing Red Light Green Light and Duck Duck Goose with the other kids. They pretended to be robots and flowers. It was such a great start to our weekend! Lauren loved watching the kids running around and even tried to crawl right after them. I think we'll make the Laughlin Library our regular Friday night hangout. Never thought I'd be saying that 10 years ago!

It's laundry day

Is that the biggest pile of pink laundry you've ever seen in your life?
