Sunday ~ #363/365
Have you seen these feathers extensions (umm... I think they are extensions)? Apparently they are becoming very popular (I say apparently because I do not keep up with hair styles or pretty much anything else that is popular, I'm kinda lame like that). Grandma Susan bought some online and so now all the grandgirls have matching feathers in their hair.
Monday ~ #364/365
Raining again!
Tuesday ~ #365/365
(All done with one year's worth of pictures!)
This is Elisha's report on Abraham Lincoln. He was very proud of himself and asked me to put this one up because he worked hard on it.
Wednesday
I found this four leaf clover and forgot to take a picture of it when it was fresh. So now here it is all pressed and ready for the kids to take to school in the morning for St. Patrick's Day.
Thursday
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Gotta love her creative/goofy side!
Friday
It was pouring today! Although that's not too much different than the rest of the week because we had rain six out of seven days. But on this day it rained extra hard. I tried to get a picture of the puddle with the water splashing but in my haste not to get soaked and to keep my camera dry this is what I ended up with.
Saturday
Due to all the rain, baseball/softball opening day was re-scheduled (and unfortunately we will be out of town the weekend it has been traded to). This is one of the Pee Wee fields underwater. And with all the rain we are supposed to get all next week it could look a lot worse. Our only reason for veturing out at all was to pick up this:
Elisha got his first name on his hat and his last name on his shirt. He's so excited because this is the first year they have been offered this and it made it extra special for him. Bethany declined to have hers done, so please don't think I am playin' favorites!
Well, one year officially down! And now it's time to head to Sara's to see what everyone else's weather has been like this week else has been up to this week. (And as I sit here and type this I am listening, again, to the wind whipping around and the rain beating down on my house. Makes me want to sing, It's raining, it's pouring...)
This was Elisha's first year in basketball and sadly due to some miscommunication we missed being prepared for picture day. So I took some pictures of him instead, and this one, which he posed himself, turned out to be one of my favs.
Mr. Nine Year old, oh how I love him.
My ever so creative daughter and her wild imagination. She cracks me up!
Love, love her eyes in this picture and her personality shining through. 
I didn't take many pictures of the two of them together these past few months, so I chose this one to kinda keep things even. My daughter loves flowers and my son loves wrapping his arms around her and squeezing her neck. To display your own top 5 for all the world to see, click on the button above! 
The sun came out a few times today in between rain storms. 
We are seriously missing that sunshine right now!
They begged to just watch one more episode of the Flintstones before going to bed but just couldn't make it through.
I love this kid's eyes but next time methinks we should be outdoors and well maybe I won't zoom in as much.
Since Yohn and I are never able to help at field prep day for Elisha and Bethany's baseball/softball league and since it is mandatory, we volunteered to do some work tonight. The kids both had a scrimmage game so we were there and available. I raked up several piles of these leaves totalling 4 1/2 bags worth and Yohn filled the other half with trash from around the complex. See that large bag in the background, that's one of ours. Nobody can accuse us of not doing our share :) Boy were my very under-used muscles tired.
Yohn finally was able to get hats with the kids' teams on them. They have been repeatedly asking when he was gonna do it and finally they allowed us to purchase them with the league because all the kids were finished getting them for their uniforms. We waited because they are way cheaper to buy them through the league than at the store.
We ate out a Mimi's and had a great time, even though they crammed us all into one booth.
Then on Saturday it was off to Sky High for some fun with family and friends.
Trampolines everywhere make for some great bouncing fun!
But bad lighting and constant movement make for some not so great photos.
Still you can see how much fun it was, even with the blur.
And the foam pit was one of Elisha's favorite things!
