My favorite princess

She came to visit the zoo y'all!

SB 2017

We had a busy week planned for Spring Break 2017!

Monday was a great lunch courtesy of my mother in law at Mary Macs in Atlanta.

They have some of the best food ever!

I had the chicken friend chicken and the sweet rolls!

So yum!

We also had fun dodging the RAIN and the tornadoes!

Yikes!

Tuesday the tiny people went to play with BeBe and Papa for the day.

We cleaned out the garage AND sold some things online!

It was miraculous.

I was so excited to get that task done.

I love being able to trash things and donate them to people  who will actually USE them!

Wednesday was filled with more crazy weather.

We braved the rain and some more tornado warnings for playtime!

It was Hayes' bday celebration with his BFF Luke.

I'll post those pictures and that story later!

Thursday we went to have lunch with Pawpaw and tour the Delta Museum in Atlanta.

SO COOL!

There is an actual 747 we got to walk around in AND there are several airplanes on display.

We got to spend some time learning about the history of Delta.

Spencer is wild.

Hayes loves to learn.

And Elizabeth is a professional picture poser.

Friday  was our last day of break and I'm pretty sure we just laid low and worked in the yard!

Yard work

Spring Break we had trees cut down!

We acquired this AWESOME mulch pile as a result.

AKA:  Mount Cochran

It was the best idea ever.

This was the scientific butterfly lesson over Spring Break.

Not sure when my kids learned some of the things they learned, but they are smart.

Too smart for their britches...

Adventures in Babysitting, errrr teaching.

Every year since I started teaching I've been privileged to accompany my smart kids to Jekyll Island.

We attend GANHS convention in April and it pretty much rocks!

This is Driftwood Beach.

There are trees all over in pieces, still growing out of the sand, over run by the waves.

We They climbed over a lot of them.

I climbed up 3 feet to have this picture made.

While I'm soaking up convention exhaustion, sunshine, and students....

The babies are returning from the lake trip and snoozing in the car.

The POWER NAP!

It always amazes me that they sleep like this and their little necks don't hurt.

I need to invent some sort of neck saver for the little people.

I could make millions, no?

My Buzz and Woody playing with trains.

I haven't seen them since Wednesday April 10.

I think this is the longest I've ever been away from them both and I'm super sad.

I'm so ready to go HOME and see them tomorrow afternoon!

Meanwhile, tonight I'm the DJ at the GANHS dance.

I'll be on the radio next week.

Radio Disney that is...

We should have a party.

The children went to visit my parents at the lake.

We should have had a party.

We didn't.

We did laundry.

We went shopping with my mother in law and our cousin.

The kids fished.

And tried out new specs.

Upside down.

Without pants on.

I got to drink Cheerwine and have cake!

We also took an adventure to the DMV and spent about 2 hours waiting before we got our license renewed. 

Rock.  On.  

Italian Cream Cake.

The End.

Doodles & the creek

Everyone in America please observe the next big artist.

She's been practicing since the ripe old age of 1 in the floor of the kitchen.

In her pull ups.

We have a creek at the house!

We went exploring and the children loved it.

Hayes was hesitant, typical.

Elizabeth would have dove right in if we hadn't stopped her.

Notice her messy bottom below!

They were both brave enough to stick their feet in there.

Whaaaaa? It's Wednesday

Our Spring Break was FULL of crazy days.  

They usually started like this.

Jammies, brushing teeth, and smiles.

And most of those days we didn't even change out of the jammies.

Clothing=optional.

So, yeah.

She's the cutest kid ever.

Gap teeth and all.

Tuesday Spring Break

Chick fil A day.
My baby sister works at corporate office so we got to take a field trip!
YAY!

We met the cows, fondled the cows, loved on the cows, and kissed them bye.

She was a bit hesitant of the cows.

But she LOVES to put on a show for everyone.

We had to carefully watch her because she almost climbed into the fountains!

One more grunt and she might have managed to hoist her hiney right over the stones into the water.

Wouldn't even surprise me ONE bit.

She is my adventurous child.

She has no fear and lovingly dares us to chase her as the runs off to another adventure.

This boy, however, is overly cautious.

He is very hesitant to try new things and doesn't want to be directed to do anything he doesn't choose to do.

He's a very careful little guy.

Curious, but cautious.

This is their BFF at the gym.

We cannot make a trip to the gym without stopping to take a picture with Armstrong the frog.

Monday Spring Break

I huffed it up and down and around my hood for almost 3 miles Monday morning.  

I almost died from pollen poisoning.

Does everyone else feel the same?  

Oh, wait, just all of Georgia?

Yes because our pollen count is enough for 50 cities combined.

Oh Spring, I love thee, but I could live without all the pine tree and flower sex that pollen creates.

I was huffing while these two commanded that I 'go wealllly fast momma' as they played on their iTouch.

Punks.

Also, their feet were propped up.

Seriously?

And occasionally Hayes would say things like, 'I got snot momma.'

Code for 'wipe my nose now, please.'

Of course I did, or else he's wearing a line of snot across his cheek and his sleeve.

Little potty break after the walk.

After the shortest nap ever we went to get yogurt.

Note to self, don't get the plain yogurt flavor.

Flavor matters VERY little to my children, they prefer the color of yogurt over flavor.

And sprinkles.

They love those.

Spoonful of sprinkles.

After we left yogurt land we drove across the street to The Mother Ship.

Hobby Lobby or Hovvy Lovvy as Hayes calls it.

Dinner consisted of taco salad?

I can't remember anything these days.

Oh yes!

Taco salad and Elizabeth ate 5 lbs of corn.

We all prayed that her digestive system held out on that one until AFTER she went to the lake!

Sorry MawMaw & PawPaw, but its coming!

We took the wagon out for a spin after dinner and went for some playtime on the swings.

Monday of Spring Break was pretty amazing.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

The kids went to bed and I proceeded to make my 'dessert'.....

Strawberries, bananas, chocolate chips, and sugar free chocolate syrup....

I stumbled across this monster berry!

They were supposed to be organic!?

This guy was tasty, albeit and little weird.

Comparable to the Giant Hail we had last month!
