Posers

Today was the last day of spring break and we had a ton of chores to do. We managed to squeeze in a trip to the local consignment sale which was having it's 50% off sale today. We went looking for a dress for Ella to wear on Easter, and some clothes for my niece and nephew. Ella and I were finally able to agree on a dress, we have somewhat different taste in Easter dresses it seems. I still wish I had managed to get her to go for the Green dress overlayed in crocheted lace... sigh. But I do like the one she did pick. Wesley had been given several bags of clothes by some friends of ours and there was a very dapper white suit among the clothes which I thought was perfect for Easter. So I convinced the kids to do a mini photo shoot for me this afternoon. They are such posers. You would think their mom was a photographer or something! I think they look lovely and can't wait to take my beautiful kids to church on Sunday and show them off.  photo IMG_4280web_zps1350e513.jpg  photo IMG_4279web_zpsf2a846c9.jpg  photo IMG_4272web_zpse973dc99.jpg  photo IMG_4212web_zps3e2c64de.jpg  photo IMG_4213web_zps962dfd6c.jpg  photo IMG_4268web_zps94a68f1d.jpg  photo IMG_4269web_zps7731a3f5.jpg  photo IMG_4271web_zps34885c52.jpg  photo IMG_4282web_zps4e6912f7.jpg  photo IMG_4283web_zps68d0dc8a.jpg  photo IMG_4286web_zps3e0565dc.jpg  photo IMG_4288web_zps10dae653.jpg  photo IMG_4290web_zps75cc0394.jpg  photo IMG_4294web_zpsd8dcd34e.jpg  photo IMG_4295web_zpsa43a85d3.jpg  photo IMG_4297web_zps64ad9966.jpg  photo IMG_4299web_zpsa9b839a6.jpg  photo IMG_4301web_zps46585114.jpg  photo IMG_4302web_zps7dfe54e7.jpg  photo IMG_4304web_zps72b3b618.jpg  photo IMG_4307web_zps1da8ca1a.jpg  photo IMG_4310web_zps6070a0ed.jpg  photo IMG_4313web_zpse2e61a3a.jpg  photo IMG_4318web_zpsb920fcfc.jpg  photo IMG_4222web_zps14c83089.jpg  photo IMG_4226web_zps24d5f681.jpg  photo IMG_4228web_zpse36f0ba3.jpg  photo IMG_4239web_zpsd24402eb.jpg  photo IMG_4238web_zps74fad0a0.jpg  photo IMG_4244web_zps7a195f6b.jpg  photo IMG_4248web_zps4ca85976.jpg  photo IMG_4251web_zps06b62535.jpg  photo IMG_4252web_zps00c1a3b9.jpg  photo IMG_4254web_zps479d45fb.jpg  photo IMG_4258web_zpsdf4f1689.jpg  photo IMG_4259web_zps5d1b892d.jpg  photo IMG_4260web_zps311a6f54.jpg  photo IMG_4262web_zpsea7c542c.jpg  photo IMG_4264web_zpsad1ae9bc.jpg  photo IMG_4265web_zps636478ae.jpg

Happy birthday to me!

Yesterday was my birthday. It turned out to be a very nice day. I spent the morning with my grandparents in Kentucky, then the middle of the day driving back home. Once we got home, I unpacked and read my book while the kids fought/played and then Dad took us out to dinner. We went to a asian resteraunt and had dinner. It was delicious! Dad got us some doughnuts at the end, mom was supposed to bring a candle to light, but she forgot. The doughnuts were good though! After dinner Jon and I took the kids shopping for my birthday present. I have wanted a bow and to learn archery for a long time, and Jon was going to buy me one for my birthday, but none of the sporting goods stores in town had an adult recurve bow for sale, so we went home to search online. At 8, after the kids were in bed, I went to Mom's house to get her to go out for a girls night with my friends. When I got there I discovered that Dad had bought me a pie, a cannoli, some cookies and my favorite kind of chips all covered with candles for me to blow out! It is way to much Junk food, but All stuff I love. Then mom and I went to the Melting pot and met my friends Sharon and Hope for dessert. WE had a great time eating and talking and ended up staying until 11pm! It was a wonderful ending to a nice birthday!  photo P3270080web_zps8cffdd39.jpg  photo P3270083web_zpsa1e13862.jpg  photo P3270084web_zpsa34e7609.jpg  photo P3270087web_zpsf58a669c.jpg  photo P3270088web_zps47f6b4d4.jpg  photo P3270090web_zpsd4a5ea19.jpg  photo P3270091web_zpsb369996e.jpg  photo P3270092web_zps26b794d3.jpg  photo P3270094web_zps6f945e0a.jpg
