mother's day 2013

well, as you can see, bribery works all the time!

i woke up (later than normal:))

cameron cooked french toast and bacon and coffee

and we had a great super filling breakfast!

i got a log that you soak in water and it grows shitake mushrooms!

then hazel and i headed to church, and i volunteered in her sunday school class.

they were short several volunteers, and cam was already going to work,

so why not?

on our way home, we picked up some veggies to plant.

i put H down for a nap, and spent time gardening.

sus and i got to talk for almost an hour while i did that!

then when H woke up, i finished planting,

and we headed to HD to pick up

more plants that weren't available at the garden patch.

we splurged and got a small rose bush and a peony plant!

swedish

that's my hospital. and yes, I DO know stroke.

cinco de mayo

 we had a cinco de mayo party at our house

for our fellowship group

autumn and i decorated it all up super cute!

-

i made these bags, i printed them in the printer

and as long as i fed one at a time, they worked!

then when autumn arrived, we realized we didn't have anything to go in them.

#lifeofamom

so we decided we could use them for the pinata candy!

 margarita bar

 an old piece of fabric i found at the goodwill outlet for $1

it wasn't straight, but i put the wonky side to the back

worked out well huh?

 tray from goodwill outlet (prob 25 cents)

bottles: autumns from thrift

jar from who knows, filled with limes

small jars filled with mexican candy

 mustaches

 autumn and i made this bunting during a nap

it's tissue paper folded and cut like you would cut snowflakes out of coffee filter.

then i just folded and edge over string and glued it on.

we strung it up around this tent for the pinata!

 with the awesome mexican pop displayed

it was a great party!!!!!! thanks everyone!

*sad, i never got a pic of the yarn ball bunting... super cute.

shwimming

hazel took swim lessons at the Y

it was 6 or 7 weeks of 30 min lessons

she absolutely LOVED IT!

she calls it shwimming

and it's so dang cute!

 i would get in the water with her.

we learned to:

kick

reach (for a toy/but really move your arms)

blow bubbles

we sang songs

jumped in from the side

went under water

and learned to get out on the side of the pool

we are sad lessons are over,

but we can't wait to go to the pool once it opens!
