Best Beach Day Ever!!!

We pretty much hit up the beach almost everyday right now. 1 because it is has been beautiful and 2 we have no grass yet so I have no yard to play or work in. Today when we got there we grabbed a spot and started playing, when minutes in a group of kids that where probably about 10-12 years old came and started playing by us. Not gonna lie was a little annoyed as I can't stand the way kids and teenagers talk these days. F this and F that, swearing non stop and talk so gross and sexually all the time. These kids were doing this a little bit but not to bad and where at least not yelling and screaming when they would swear. Macie and Wade were having a great time playing in the water and the kids beside us started digging this huge hole. They had gotten pretty deep when they dug up these two kids toys, one was a batman boy car and one a pink and purple car with a little girl in it. The boy had no use for it and came over to us and asked the kids if they wanted to have them. They of course said yes and thank you and where in love. They played with these toys for the next 30 minutes then me and the kids made sand homes

For the cars to play on. In the mean time this hole was starting to get pretty epic. 

I asked Macie to go ask the boys if they wanted to use our shovel and buckets to help make the hole bigger, and to start filling it with water. They of course said yes and then asked Macie and Wade if they wanted to help. They all spent the next hour making the hole bigger and filling it with Water. I was so impressed with these kids and how good they played with Macie and Wade. I also noticed once my kids were playing with them they did not swear or talk gross once. I of course wish they didn't talk that way at all, but was impressed that they recognized to stop once little kids where there. It was such a fun day and so sweet seeing them all play together. 

Great day!!!!

This past month has been a little rough in our house, but today, today was perfect!! Started the morning with chocolate Cheerios (ssh don't tell), kids played perfectly together while I cleaned the house a bit. Then we made pictures of Monsters wearing underpants, kids loved this as we have been reading books at night about Monsters, Aliens, and Dinosaurs in underpants. After lunch we headed to the beach for the whole afternoon, it was crazy nice outside and we ran into many friends. When we got home we made delicious Waffles for supper. Then the best part while I took a minute to clean the kitchen and then chill for a bit, the kids played so good together. They usually play really good together but there is always one or two little fights in there play. But tonight they played perfectly, laughing, sharing, and smiling. Then we ended the night with freezies, a 20 minute show, reading Go Dog Go, prayers, songs and snuggles while the kids passed out in seconds. Love days like today and was definitely needing it.  

Date night with Wade

A bike ride, some good talk and a special treat to end some one on one time with Wade. Love this crazy boy so much!!!

One little stitch

I don't really even know how to explain what happened to Macie, but just imagine an earring with a tiny little fake diamond that pushed its way into Macies ear over the past couple of days and then the ear closed up with the earring inside of it. So you have this earring that won't come out the back because of the diamond on it and the skin  is closed up in the front so you can't push it back through. So we had to make our way to the E.R. The Doctor tried pulling it out at first with some special tools but when that didn't work he had to freeze her little ear make a teeny tiny cut, pull out the earring and then give her one little stitch cause the ear bleeds really bad and won't stop unless you stitch it up. The Doctor was so proud of how brave Macie was and that she didn't wine or cry, she barely even flinched that he let her pick out a stuffed animal. Of course cause we had just had a frog as a pet for the past two days she picked the funny looking frog and we named him Spark Jr

SPARK!!!

On Tuesday we went out to a friends house that lived on an acreage and they had just cut the grass which means tons of frogs. Macie loved them and asked to take one home. It was the smallest one there, we got a mason jar for it and some grass and water. Macie named him Spark  (I was super impressed with her name) and we took him home with us. We played outside with him as much as possible but finally today we had to release him so he could go get food. Macie was so sad and really struggled but finally found the strength and let him go. So fun having her own pet for a couple of days. 

Last Day of Preschool!!!

It is crazy that this day has come. She has grown so much this year and I am loving the little girl she is turning into. Her teacher Mrs Stacey Reid was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better person to help Macie along in her journey of life. This September will be 4 year old preschool and then Kindergarten. 

Best Buds!!!!

These two are becoming best buddies and it is beyond cute!!! Love when I walk in on them snuggling together.
