Here are Five Reasons I am Loving my Boys this week!
1. We took the boys to see Rio in 3D. It was there first movie theater experience, and it was so fun! They loved it and could not have looked any cuter kicked back in mine and John's laps with their little 3D glasses on their little faces and a big bag of popcorn settled between them. They both love movies, so this was a treat and they were completely entertained through the whole thing!
Evan modeling his 3D glasses - what can I say - he just cracks me up!
2. The Easter Bunny found these little boys and filled up their baskets with goodies like colored bubbles , side walk chalk, jump ropes, bible story books, bouncy balls, piggy banks, bathing suits, and candy! They had a ball following the egg trail the EB left for them down the stairs and into the den to where their baskets were. Bryce found Percy the train in his basket. He was impressed that the Easter Bunny was able to fulfil his VERY SPECIFIC request! Evan found a Buzz Lightyear rocket in his basket . . . and Buzz just makes that little boy happy as can be!
3. It has been day after day of beautiful weather (until Thursday, of coarse). These are the kind of days that I think maybe there is some outside girl in me bc I find myself enjoying the warmth of the sunshine as I watch the boys run barefoot around the yard from my perch on the porch swing. I even go so far has pulling weeds from the beds and begin wondering if one day I could possible be one of those true southern ladies who spends the whole day in her yard making sure the flowers are beautiful and the tomatoes are plump, red, and delicious. But then late May hits, reality sets in, and it is soooo hot . . . . and i am done with the sweat and the bugs and the dirt and decide I will just be one of those true southern ladies for our brief southern springs! So, I plan to enjoy our short but sweet spring with lots of outside time. It is time for sidewalk chalk, bubble mowers, wagon rides, barefoot races, sipping lemonade, and just plain old digging in the dirt!

4.Bryce tried out hopscotch. I must say, I was pretty impressed!
5. It does not get much cuter than these 2 little boys anxiously awaiting their daddy's arrival home from work! This day, John actually snuck in the back door and scared them. They started off with screams and dissolved into a fit of giggles Music to my ears!
Mamie waits for her daddy too - cute girl!
Reflecting on our week helps me to relish the memories that we are making each day.
These are lessons I am learning from my most favorite blog, Enjoying the Small Things by Kelle Hampton. Please, check it out. It is beautiful and inspiring and I look forward to seeing how she weaves stories and pictures together each week! Have a wonderful weekend full of memory making moments!
