Pics from our playtime

We love the play area at the mall! We took our friend Amanda with us to play!

Are you there God, It's me Jennifer

So the last few days have been crazy.. I took a 5 hour comprehensive assessment test to determine if i could actually graduate from the university. This is different from the Praxis test. Let me back up. On Thursday, Ella woke up with a 102 degree fever and throwing up. She wanted to be held all day which meant Lily did too. As i stripped the sheets and put her in the bath tub Lily decided she needed to get in too. After getting them out, Ella crying b/c she was cold, Lily then proceeded to pee on the floor. Figures! That's what i was thinking. Are you kidding me?! I have less than 24 hours to take this test... did i mention that i typed 13 pages for this. Not multiple choice kiddos... and here i had a child sick. My thoughts were "Hey God, are you there, can you give me a break? Really, it was probably the devil at work.. I had to be at school at 8:00 for the test and i was up with Ella for most of the night Thursday night!! Hey all in a day's work for a mom, right? Anyways, crisis averted, test taken and completed. Lily did get sick too but she's all better. The world goes on and so do we.

P.S. NKOTB is reuniting. I am psyched!!!!

Easter Fun!

We had a busy weekend with 5 egg hunts! We started at Boyd-buchanan on Sat. morning for an alumni hunt and the girls had a really good time! We then visited families and had one at church. Look closely at the first pic. That's what i saw while i was washing dishes after our Easter lunch at my mom and dad's. I guess Lily had decided that she would take care of the punch or what was left of it.... Makes you want to say.. Seconds anyone???

Spring has sprung!

Spring has sprung in the form of a flower and frog! At least that's what Ella and Lily think! The Little Bill has a show about spring and the kids sing a song"Spring is here, Spring is here, it's the best time of the year" Around our house, we seem to think so. Ellas keeps asking if it is actually spring b/c she's tired of winter. The last pic is what i found the other night when the girls were getting ready to go to bed. Lily was actually letting Ella hold her. Normally, she pushes Ella away but i guess that she was tired enough to give in.

Said what he needed to say....

Today i had the privledge of hearing my daddy speak in high school chapel. I took the time to go by Boyd-Buchanan even though i was suppose to be at another middle school to hear him. He spoke of doing your best, making your parents proud, teachers proud and yourself proud. He shared stories from when he taught. The kids laughed and were going beserk when he got there! They loved seeing him. And as i stood with tears in my eyes, I realized how important life is and how much i love my daddy. He said what he needed to say to those students. It was short and sweet but to the point and as i looked around, every face was focused on him. Not one student was talking or not paying attention. He had captured them with his words. Isn't it amazing the power of one individual to make a difference in our lives? My daddy lives by his words and is much loved. I know that i am blessed to have him as a father....

How hungry are you?

Ella the other day said: I'm so hungry I could eat my foot!
