Went to the scrapbook convention and spent way too much!

My weeping cherry is in bloom. You can't see them but there is lots of bees buzzing in those flowers.

Mark took Shelby out on her first motorcycle ride (I was at work=no picture). She really liked it, though she melted her sneaker on the exhaust pipe :) She was not harmed in any way.

I had 2 frogs in my pond. This is the bigger one. He's relaxing on iris roots. I divided them a couple weeks ago and threw them in the pond...they float.

Shelby made a "fort" out of an afghan. She's laying inside playing her dsi.

Yes, the Easter Bunny still visits us...

Shelby colored 3 dozen eggs today with a little help from Matthew.

PJ day at school today. Not the best picture but it will do!

My "loser cruiser" hit 100,000 miles. I actually love my van. Mark has been trying to get me to buy a new vehicle for some time but I don't want a payment. I've been driving it for 10 1/2 years, since it was brand new!

****Thanks Chris for the picture idea****

Joyce's 50th birthday adult diaper cake. My original idea for decorations I had to let go of...too much like a wedding cake. I'm really happy with this and I know Joyce will love it!

Shelby at practice. This was a some kind of drill...The girls in the front had to dribble the ball down the court and the girls in the back had to steal the ball from her partner that was dribbling. If you didn't get the ball you had to do 5 push ups. Shelby did 10! When it was her turn to dribble she made it down the court once without her partner stealing it.

My boss will be turning 50 this week. I thought I'd be nice and make her something...

Nobody else would be my picture of the day....Kitty had no choice. He loves having the doors open. He's always chasing some kind of bug...wonder how the screens are going to hold up this summer.

April 16, 2011

Shopping with some of the girls from work. Had a nice time up North.

April 15, 2011

Ironing day....

April 14, 2011

Mark working on the boys' car once again! He replaced the heater core (?) this time. We're trying to get as much use out of this car as possible. Once this is gone, not sure if we're going to replace...

Puzzle time, again! Matthew started this puzzle last fall and it's been out on the 3 season porch all winter waiting to be finished. Now that the nice weather is here, it shouldn't take long.

April 12, 2011

Oh happy day! Both Hank (this is him) and Lucy made it through another winter. It's the little things....

April 11, 2011

Mark brought the fatboy out for his first ride of the season.

April 10, 2011

Yay for nice weather! I love our sheets hung on the line.

April 9, 2011

The start of our spring clean up...not one of us enjoys it, but it has to be done. Most of the leaves are from our oak trees...there's still a bunch of leaves on some.

April 8, 2011

Shelby and I had a fantastic mother/daughter day! Manicures, lunch at Panera and shopping at the mall. We were so tired by the end of the day!

April 7, 2011

Second post of the day...Michael was accepted at UNH-Manchester!

April 7, 2011

I went to check my pump in the pond and I was pleasantly surprised to find the snowdrops blooming. Spring is finally here in NH.

April 6, 2011

Finished Matthew's afghan, yay me :). On to Shelby's...

April 5, 2011

Had to get gas today. The price per gallon has started going up again...

Doesn't he look comfortable? He lays on his back all the time.

April 3, 2011

Shelby and Mark playing one on one.  Even after working all day, he'll go outside with Shelby so she can get more practice in.

The Cinnamon Challenge....Michael won :) Matthew lasted about 15 seconds (maybe) before he let a cloud of cinnamon go. It took Michael a while before he was able to swallow it.

April 1, 2011

I guess the joke is on us...The kids have their 6th snow day of the year. I don't think we're getting as much as was predicted, if you notice the road is clear in the background and I haven't seen the plow truck since I've gotten up at 5:30am.
