I have too much time on my hands:

happy first day of spring

We didn't do anything very spring-like to celebrate the first day of spring, but we did have a pretty fun day. Here it is, Instragram style (I can't stop using Instagram!!).

For some reason, my boys love sitting on the kitchen counter. I rarely let them do it, but when I do, it's always awsome. Today we had breakfast on the counter.

Then we made English muffin pizzas for lunch. I always forget how delicious those suckers are! (As you can see, we also decided to enjoy the whole morning in our pj's).

Then it was time to get ready for Lego Club. I offered to bring treats, thinking I could easily come up with some robot-themed snack (the theme for this meeting) to bring. Boy was I wrong. I Googled and Pinterested (is that a word yet?) it with no luck. So I decided to go this route. Matt's mom nailed it - I should've broken a pretzel in half and put it on top like antenna! But instead, this is what I made. I thought it looked more like an owl, but I heard from friends who also saw a pig or dog with a stick in it's mouth. Whatever, like everything I make - it's the thought that counts. : ) (Also, for the record - I wanted to use regular Fruit Loops but Andrew liked these crazy 8's, so that's what we went with. I'm sure it would've made all the difference.....).

Then we headed to the store to try to find a couple pairs of shoes for me (my two main pairs are so old, my feet get wet when it rains ... sad story, I know) and some rain boots for Andrew. We struck out for both of us, but Mason ended up with a pair of boots and wouldn't put them down because he loved them so much. Anyway, I included this picture because we also went to DSW (a huge shoe warehouse) mainly because Andrew loves it there!! It has wide isles and for whatever reason he has fun and has convinced Mason that it's fun there too. So I shop while my boys play - it's pretty great. (This was the closest picture I took related to that story).

I sure hope real spring gets here soon. I'm really looking forward to a trip to the zoo soon!!
