Pink and red, plus fur!

Most of our trees are green now, which means we have

a lot of this "pink snow" around our yard...

I walked out on the driveway the other day, about 11AM, and 

saw that 2 sweet roses were smiling at me...

About 4 hours later, I went back out to get Sam off the 

bus, and they were pretty much laughing...

And, because I haven't posted a pic of my amazing fur baby, 

Molly-No-Tail, in a ridiculously long time...

Amber suggested that we post our 5 favorite kid 

captures from January, February and March, so...

Sam's 7th-birthday-fondue!

Luke and the Little People

Luke admires himself.

Luke celebrates his 3rd birthday!

Yep.  I went with 6 'cause I just couldn't help myself.

Tuesday Treasures

It's such a beautiful time of year...and Easter is around the corner, 

so I'm feeling extra thankful right now!  Like...

I'm really thankful for the men around me.  (Dirty, ragged nails and all!)

...and my beautiful home, in an amazing area, where 

kites are very, very popular...

...and there's plenty of color 9 months each year!

This week at iheartfaces.com, they want to see "a slice of life"...

I posted this photo, as well as several more, a few weeks ago.

It's definitely one of my faves from this year.  Luke had lugged 

all of his vintage Little People sets onto his bed.  I could here 

him singing and playing, so I grabbed my camera.  He never 

even knew that I was watching.

He is so great about entertaining himself when he needs to!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Another warm and beautiful week, here in GA...and I 

was prepared for the hunt...

1.  Decay

(Oh, how I love my hydrangeas!  And, they are lovely until the end.)

2.  Group of 3

(3 of the super-cute magnets I won from Tara's challenge!)

3.  Kitchen

(The boys LOVE raw veggies.  And, I really liked the 

reflection on my granite.)

4.  Things that make you say, "Hmmm..."

(Tuesday afternoon Sam said, "There's a hole in the sky, Mom."  That made
me grab my camera...and then say, "Hmmm...")

5.  "Me" time!

(So, I have to be honest.  I get a lot of "me time".  And, this

was actually hard.  In the end, tho, I decided to go with the 

most "me" event ever.  In 1999, at 25-years old, I went to 

Europe by myself.  7 days in London and 5 days in Paris.
This was a souvenir that I still dearly love!)

Mid-Week Winners

Everything is alive with color around here!
