My Mother's Day Gift

Mike surprised me yesterday morning with these two pictures framed on my table. He went on Saturday night to have them done while I went to Hobby Lobby and Joann's for HOURS by myself! I was so impressed that he thought of this by himself!

Studs.

Sorry it's blurry - this little guy seems to only take blurry pictures!
He's ALWAYS moving!

See?

More Easter Egg Hunts

Hayden the Great

Quick story - Hayden was super excited about the egg hunt they were scheduled to have at school the Thursday before Easter. With great jubilation he darted around the playground looking under plastic cones, behind slides, buried in sand and other places the sneaky Easter Bunny decided to hide them!

He excitedly brought over his basket with several eggs in it and we chatted a bit about how much fun he was having.

A few minutes later he discovered that one of his classmates didn't have very many eggs so he ran to his basket, grabbed half of his eggs and gave them to his friend. Seriously made me tear up!

Another quick story...when Hayden and I were going through his Valentine's Day cards from school and I was reading through the names and as soon as I said, "This one's from Grace" he stopped, grinned and said, "She's pretty"...and my heart stopped!

Here we have Grace

Teacher Appreciation

I whipped these up last night using this Our Best Bites tutorial
We stuck M&Ms and a Chick fil a gift card inside!

Pretty sure this one needs no introduction...

We did "Death by Chocolate" on Wednesday and, from what I hear, these were a hit :)

I Scream, You Scream

Easter Hats

The kids had an Easter Had parade at school and we were given pretty much free reign on what to do, so we just went with it! Kind of goofy, if you ask me :)

Very Hungry Caterpillar

Hayden's school is amazing! They have an entire week devoted to Eric Carle so over spring break everybody takes home a green circle and decorates it with a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" theme! There were some really cute pictures!

Here's Hayden standing in front of his

Here's the front of the caterpillar

Cookie Exchange

I bake the BEST chocolate chip cookies on the planet. Seriously. Well, apparently so do some of my friends! We couldn't come to an agreement so we decided to have a cookie exchange! Here's some pictures of the festivities!
