Beautiful hawk

I saw this beautiful hawk today while I was walking with my son in the morning.  It caught sight of me stalking it with my camera and gave me the stink eye.  :)  

Life is rough when you're a kid

This is my son lounging on the ottoman while watching his favorite show, Sesame Street, today.  Isn't life ROUGH?

My gorgeous boy

We went to a delicious brunch this morning with some great friends, and then the kids all had an Easter Egg Hunt.  They had a blast!  I snuck this picture of my baby boy when he wasn't paying attention to me but was happily watching all the kids running amok.  I just think he is the sweetest, most gorgeous little morsel. :) 

Dinner with great friends

We went out for an early Easter celebration with great friends tonight to play mini-golf and have a nice dinner. What a fun night!  :)  The kids had a BLAST and so did the grown ups.  

Matching jammies

I came home from the baseball field tonight after another great photoshoot to find this scene:

Two adorable little boys, all bathed (thanks to my wonderful husband!), wearing matching firetruck jammies, brushing their teeth.  Really - it doesn't get much cuter or better than this, does it? :)

Easter party

Today, I helped out at my son's class Easter party.  The kids dyed eggs, had egg races, did some jelly bean "math' with estimates and graphs, did crafts, read books, and had ice cream cake, fruit, and cookies. Everyone had a lot of fun!  Their eggs came out GREAT - really pretty and each one was so unique (just like the kids)! 

I just LOVE being the room Mom and being a part of all the special days at school.  The best part was when my son ran up to me and took my hands and said "I love when you volunteer!"  Wow...that made my day.  Here is a picture of my son and one of his buddies dyeing eggs.  :)  

Crafts with my little man

I love this precious time with my younger son.  We worked on a craft together today.  He loves making a mess. :)  It makes me stop, shake my head, and block the welling tears when I realize that he will be going to school in the fall and my baby, who spends every moment with me now, will be growing up and gone for part of every day... I swear I just gave birth to him....  It is easy to take your children's youth for granted, but I need to stop and treasure this time before it's gone.
