Backyard
Here's a picture of the tree when they were done. Notice there is no fruit at the bottom? That's as high as they can reach!
There were sooooo many oranges!!!!
So then the boys and I juiced a bunch! Not with a juicer or anything, just our hands!!!
I wished I would've taken a picture of all the oranges first, but I didn't think about it. Here's a picture of how many oranges we had left
after juicing all of these!!!!
and here's the container of juice:
the BEST part is after we did all of this Joshua says "I don't like orange juice."
Nice.
Reading!!!
Cleaning out the camera!
The first official lost tooth! What does the tooth fairy do with these?!
The kids dressed as turkeys for their Kindergarten Thanksgiving Program!
The newest addition to our backyard. Happy Early Birthday!
Spring Break!!!
I have had such a great Spring Break this year (and I still have a few days left!!!) It first started with our former Au Pair, Marion, coming for a 2 week visit!!! Then this week we went to the MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) with my mom. It was interesting although it didn't hold the kids' interests as long as I would have liked… We've played outside in the GREAT weather we've been having, had picnics, we went the movie theater and saw "The Lorax".
My husband and I had a "date day" on Wednesday. We went walking around an outdoor mall, sat and played card games, went to the Phoenix Art Museum, went to a farmers' market, and ate from some food trucks. It was so much fun! The best part was just being able to hang out with my amazing husband and have a carefree day!
We still have a lot to do during this Spring Break—tomorrow is the kids' birthday. We are going to Benihana's for lunch and on Saturday we are having a party for them at Peter Piper Pizza! I promise to post pictures after those two events!
