Baby on Board

We nailed this homemade birdhouse to our playset. And now a bird family lives in it, complete with eggs. 

Cheap entertainment for the whole family.

She's got the look.

Camryn has a knack with always pulling off perfectly mismatched outfits. It's her style. 

I call this look bohemian gypsy chic. 

Cut.

After growing out his hair for far too long, Jacob decided it was time for a new style. 

Loving the vintage-inspired do! And so grown up...

Photo Dump!

School is winding down, sports are ramping up, friends are having birthday parties, and we are busy!

Two very different birthday parties. I think I would pick hanging at Chuck E Cheese's over holding a snake any day!!!!

A day off school before the end of the school year. We dragged the neighborhood crew to a bounce house warehouse for the morning and then to the Chick Fil-A for the afternoon. And this was the only picture to prove it! 

A quick break from eating lunch to do some brain yoga. It's something special these two do with my mom. And after watching this all happen, I am amazed that no one has hyperventilated or broken a bone! 

Mason and Camryn garage-saled with my mom on Friday and Mason scored this gem: a plane that is missing a tail wing. Mason carried on by pretending the plane was just in a fiery crash. That's some imagination! And the plane clearly won a place in his heart and on his pillow at bedtime...

The school carnival was on Friday, and after playing all of the games, I am confident that we own at least half of he merchandise from the Oriental Trading catalog. Jacob didn't get his face painted. He was too busy working the crowd--lots of cute girls to awkwardly say "hi" to! 

And then it was Mother's Day. Jacob gave me a cute little coupon book full of discounted tasks. For example, Jacob was able to refill Sadie's food dish for 10% off. Businessman in the making?! 

Tucked in.

Camryn is a very imaginative child. At any point in time she could be pretending she is a cat, dog, or horse. She has a village of princesses that she is always carrying on with. And her babies--she is always tucking in her babies with random hand towels, washcloths, and blankets so they can grab a quick nap. So it really didn't catch me off guard when Caleb yelled this down to me from our bedroom:

"It looks like our lotions and chemical cleaners are all resting comfortably on the bathroom floor..."

That girl!

For Sale

...everything but the girl.

Camryn reclaimed some lost treasures while I was preparing for our garage sale. Looks like our profit potential has just decreased by about $1.75.

My birthday happened.

And so did lunch with the hubs and dinner with the family. Birthdays make me happy!

Never mind the numbers on the cake. Must have just been a couple of random candles we happened to pull out of the cabinet...
