Weekend with the Poindexter Boys

This weekend we were lucky enough to babysit two precious pups. We had Mugsy and Jack. They are the boxers of Mitch and Jennifer Poindexter. We really enjoyed having them here.

We did have a little issue with Mugsy. Ha. Here he is BUSTED on the front couch again.

 

Ella Lost Her First Tooth

Ella's tooth has been lose for weeks. The dentist told her a few weeks ago that she really needed to work on it and she has. I went to school today to eat lunch with Ella. I made her pull on some fries in the front. She got it really good once. So, I convinced her to go see the nurse on our way back, because she wouldn't let me near it. It was hanging. The nurse pulled it out with floss. She was a little scared, but she handled it pretty well.The new teeth are actually coming in behind the bottom two. So, we are very anxious to get those out so that the new teeth can move into place.

Cooking with Mamaw

Mamaw and Grandpa planned to come down this weekend to go to Ella's first softball game. However, Ella wasn't quite over her stomach virus and didn't make it to the game. They didn't care. They just wanted some time with the kids.

Back to School = Back to Germs

It was a little rough getting back into the swing of things after Spring Break, but the kids were very ready to get back to their teachers and friends. Unfortunately Ella came down with a stomach virus on Thursday. She missed school on Friday and her first softball game on Saturday. It was pretty rough and took her a while to get back to herself.

As most Mommies know with these things you are running around like crazy.. taking care of the sick and cleaning constantly. While I was running back and forth in the house the little man was actually entertaining himself. He was still in his PJs, but when I walked into the living room I saw this...

Pants gone, Ella's softball socks on and 100% proud

He also made this with the magnets. I was pretty impressed since he usually doesn't stay still to do anything.

 

 Being crazy is exhausting...

Spring Break #6

We headed to the park this morning. We have been very lucky this week. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous. We have spent a lot of time outside, and the kids have actually gotten along pretty well.

In the late afternoon we went to Baby Reese's 1st birthday party. The kids had a great time, and Reese especially loved her cake.

This is what happens when you give a three year old too much sugar and try to get a picture. 

The Bed of Chaos

Lately Will thinks he needs just about everything in his room in his bed to go to sleep. This is what I walked in on during naptime today. He had the whole family of monkeys, 5 books, Woody, his glowing turtle, a tinkerbell sleeping bag, his elephant bookends and no telling what else.

Spring Break #5 - St. Patty's Day

We headed to the zoo today. To say the least, it was absolute chaos. We lasted barely 3 hours and it felt like 3 days. the kids had fun, but they were ready to leave too. They laughed at the monkeys and loved the tigers. We even found a pack of Hatcher monkeys. You never know who you'll run into at the zoo!

Check out the wold animal peaking through.
