Gravity Wins!

Today Ellie and I walked down to the bus stop to pick up the kids. On our way back Rachel and Jared were busy telling me about their day and next thing I know, Ellie is flat on her face. She didn't even have time to get her arms in front of her to catch her fall. Her whole side of her face was scratched and she got her lip so it was bleeding every where. She only cried for a little bit. I kept asking her how her face was, she told me, "My face is happy" and she hasn't complained since.

Easter.

This Easter was mostly a blur. My kids were sick most of the week and then I got sick two days before Easter. We still managed to enjoy ourselves. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

Jared is such a good big brother.

The girls and their new Easter dresses. Thank you Grandma Mayfield.

I'm such a lucky mom.

All the Easter goodies.

Looks like Ellie made out okay.

Rachel definitely has an advantage being the tallest.

Don't Sleep with your eyes closed...you never know what you'll wake up to!

The other day I took a nap. It was great to get some extra sleep. When I woke up I walked out of my room and that's when I saw the destruction area. I don't think you could see the floor anywhere in the upstairs. My kids had gotten into almost every single toy they owned. All three of my kids looked at me with blank stares. Afraid of what was going to happen next.
I stared back at them and said, "It looks like a tornado went through here!"
Jared said with a completely straight face and matter of fact, "Yes, that's what happened."
