And Now for Todays News

I have been so happy to have seen the sun the last few days! I'm not sure if I've ever been so excited to see spring arrive - Cherry Blossoms and everything! We went searching for garder snakes at a local hiking path.
Found lots, caught 1!

Little A

All my little ones are growing up too fast. I wish there was more of me, so I could spend more time enjoying, and still get the house relatively clean.LOL

Oh the Joy

Av. got a Haircut

I don't have pictures of the back yet, but Averie got a bob. From behind she looks like me when I was little.

Baby Steps

Benjamin started taking his first steps a while ago, but now he's moved up to taking 5 or 6 steps in a row. Yay Ben!

Misc. Ramblings

Well, since nothing overtly exciting has been going on around here, I thought I'd just post a couple pics taken this past week. E & Stripe the mouse. And Averie, she was trying to be mad at me, but it didn't last long once I was trying to take a picture of it. Have a good weekend and for those who get it , a great Spring Break. Hopefully we'll be up to something and we'll have great pictures to put up. I tried to make A's pic a smaller file. But it just ended up being lower quality but still big. Hmmmm.

Field Trip

Today E's H.S. group went on a field trip to PetLand. Everyone had a good time, holding pets, talking to the parrot...
It was funny when Ethan informed every listening ear that turtles can't come out of their shell, because their shells are fused to their backbones. We have been studying reptiles over the past couple of weeks - and I never realize how much Ethan retains.

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Ethan holding the Gecko. We currently have an empty fish tank, maybe we could get one....I'm proud I didn't come home with another puppy. They had an adorable alaskan malamute pup that was calling out to me.
A. loves Bunnies and wants one, so not only did she get to where the brand new vest Taunte Heidi knit for her (mom & dad just sent it in a parcel - got it last night - I'll take a better pic of it when I can), she got to hold a bunny . Does it get any better?
