Sneaky boy....

I picked up Alex from the bus stop yesterday and he proudly showed me his hand print in clay that he picked out the colors for and painted himself and then said he was on the color blue (which is good) so we got in the car to pick up Abby and in the back seat I heard a piece of paper being crumbled up and then it was thrown out the window.  I stopped the car, made him get out and get the piece of paper since littering is unacceptable and he got out and kicked the paper in to someone's yard.  After being stern with him he finally picked up the paper threw it in the car and got in his seat.  At this time I went to see what it was that he was trying to get rid of....

...It was a note that says "Dear mam, I scremd in the hollway.  Im sre.  Lve Alex"  We had a discussion about acceptable vs. unacceptable behavior at school and he said he wouldn't scream in the hallway again, but it was hard to contain my smirk at the thought of him trying to get rid of the evidence.  We have one sneaky boy, and he's only in Kindergarten.  Someone said to me when I was pregnant that God will only give you what you can handle, and all I continually say is that he must think I can handle a lot, since Alex is always keeping us on our toes.

Finally Spring has arrived!

Distillery...

We went on a ghost tour at Buffalo Trace distillery and we didn't see any ghosts, but we did have a great time learning about the history and process of bourbon.






The date on this barrel is Alex's birthday

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!  The highlight of my weekend was Alex yelling out "Mommy, I love you!" while he was playing catcher in the middle of his baseball game.  It was so cute!  I love these kids!

Spring time fun!...

These kids have me wrapped around their fingers!  Abby and I went to Walgreens while Alex was in reading tutoring and Abby "had to have" this baby doll.  She had earned a trip to the dollar tree, but this baby was more than the $1 I would have normally spent, she convinced me she would be the best momma to this baby, so we came home with Grace....Alex got a glow in the dark basketball and he was super happy about his surprise as well.  


My neighbor's grandmother passed away and she asked if I could take her girls to the Taylor Swift concert since she would be traveling to Texas.  It was a blast to see Taylor Swift and hang out with these wonderful girls.

Abby's attire for the ballpark.  Some things are just not worth a fight...

Water park Fun!

We went to an indoor water park and the kids had a blast!  Alex went down the big yellow slide about 30 times, they can't wait to go back.

Churchill Downs!

I went on a field trip with Alex to Churchill Downs, it was a blast!  We even got to watch the first race of the day!




















Spring!

Spring is here, which means parks and baseball and flowers!


Baking cookies and licking the mixers, yum!
Lunch with my pretty girl at Dairy Queen
I think she likes caramel sundaes
Alex got a fat lip from a baseball.  It was bad, but he was a trooper and afterwards played his baseball game.
