BALLOONS!
Well Spring is finally underway and I don't know about you, but I'm SO thrilled about that. Still, it was rather fun coming up with new and exciting things for the kids to do indoors. One of their favorites is the balloon pit. Special thanks to my dear friend Robin, for giving us the ball pit (complete with all of the colorful balls).
One day in late March I decided to get it out and finally use it. I was able to find the netted pit but the balls were hard to reach, in a box stacked behind others that remained unopened due to our move back from Arizona last November. So I substituted balloons (gotta love the dollar tree) for the balls.
The result?
Sheer delight!

OUTDOOR STROLLER DERBY!
One unusually warm day in early April, the kids and I decided to get out and enjoy our back deck. We tossed around some balls and the kids had a stroller derby (circling Mommy). I shot some great pictures that day. The joy of finally being outside in the warm weather is reflected in their eyes.

Three Easter Dresses
Those of my fellow Moms who have little girls will most likely agree with me when I say: It's darned difficult to choose from all of those cute girl outfits out there! There are so many sweet and pretty things for girls! Between shoes, bows, hats, skirts, shirts, dresses...not to mention those adorable little tights in all different colors...it's really hard narrowing it down to one outfit for a special occasion.
This past Easter was no different. I wound up having to choose between two purchased dresses, one hand-me-down never worn and one hand-me down worn just once. One night I had Annaliese model three of the dresses for her Daddy and I.
The first dress was my favorite, a frilly yellow dress with embroidered flowers...alas, it was too big. I know she liked it best too because as soon as I put it on her, she began to twirl around. I think I have a little model on my hands!
Here's a slideshow of Annaliese's modeling debut:

All in all, it's been a pretty good spring so far. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the landscape greening up, great playground weather and longer sunshine hours.
Happy Spring to all!
