More Surprises!

Friday's surprise was a trip to Dallas Blooms with Mimi. The flowers were amazing this year and they have these cute Storybook houses set up all over the arboretum for the kids to walk through or just hang out in. Each house is based on a famous storybook. It was lots of fun to tour these houses as well as see all the beautiful blooming flowers. It made me antsy to go out and buy flowers for our flower beds. I think our favorite houses were Alice in Wonderland, The Jolly Roger and The Lorax. Here are a few of my favs from this years trip. Each kid wanted to take some pictures also and I let them. It kept them happier and I got more pictures of them by letting them take some too! This one Bailey took right at the end of our trip. These tulips were so bright and beautiful.


This was Jack's favorite he took. He has always liked cactus. I love bluebonnets. He did a really good job.






This walking away pose was Bailey's idea. Just wish there were more flowers in this section.





This believe it or not, was Connor's picture! He needed my help only to find where to push the button!











I like this one the best, I loved the orange tulips, they were spectacular.








Bailey took this one too. I think my kids might be good photographers!








And yes, Connor is bald! You would think after so many boys haircuts that I would know not to ask for a 1 1/2 and 2 inch blade at this time of year. She actually only used the 1 1/2 and it is short!
All in all it was a nice relaxing Spring Break! Now we jump into the rest of school. It is so busy from now on, it was nice to rest a little this week.







Spring Break Surprises!

This year for Spring Break all kids were out at the same time so I planned a few surprises for us! Last Saturday we met Memaw and G-Dad in Greenville and dropped off the older two kids for a few days of fun on the farm. We also let Aunt G. take Connor home with her and mommy and daddy had a little Spring Break for ourselves! We took in a fun Clint Eastwood movie and dinner. Wednesday afternoon Aunt Stephanie traded her kids for mine and delivered them to me in a McDonald's parking lot. From there our adventures began. I took them to see Race to Witch Mountain. An awesome movie, all three kids were mesmerized. And I like looking at The Rock!
The next morning we packed a lunch and headed to the Dallas Zoo. Yes, we go there a lot. Not much of a surprise, but the zoo had gotten several new animals this month. A new cheetah family, two new giraffes, a new baby monkey, and two new albino alligators. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from our Zoo day.
