Spring Planting
These pictures are actually from the week before Spring Break - I was at WalMart picking up a few things and came across these $0.99 planting kits and so I picked up two - sunflowers and parsley. Luke helped me take the "growing medium pellet", add water and get the dirt ready. He was AMAZED that the little pellet turned into ALL THIS DIRT! :)
After the dirt was ready, we put it in the two pots, planted the seeds and covered them up with the remaining dirt.
Painting
Spring Break was pretty much a BUST for me - sinus infection, allergies and pink eye GALORE. ICK. I did manage to pull out a couple of fun Pinterest-inspired crafts and activities for the boys like this homemade sidewalk paint. It was cornstarch, water and food coloring - VERY basic and fun.

Shark Coat
Sick and Sweet
We've had our fair share of weird viruses at our house lately, and the pictures below show that even though Mason was feverish and obviously not feeling good - he was still as snuggly as ever (except when he was crying on the floor - which was pretty much anytime he wasn't in someone's arms or on a lap. hahaha)

Sharing
Up until about Christmas time Mason was pretty much a "non issue" for Luke. He stayed out of his way, was relatively unintrusive and minded his own business. Since then, however, Mason has become mobile and not only mobile on the floor, but able to pull up onto places that used to be Luke's "safe zone". Luke's struggling with sharing with his brother mainly because Mason's sole purpose is to "destroy and annoy". He crawls over, pulls up, wreaks havoc and then moves on. I took these pics with my iPhone so they're not the greatest quality, but I think they pretty much illustrate our struggles with sharing perfectly. :)
Long Week
Last week was a BUSY week for me at school. It was the last full week of our grading period and when Friday night came around I was WIPED! Dave got home from work around 10:00 and found Luke and I asleep in his bed. My plan was to read him a story, but he asked me to "snuggle" and next thing you know it's 10:00. :)
