I Can't Breath.

Allergies are killing me. KILLING ME. UGH. When is Winter coming back?

The Next Mr. Posh Spice.

Channeling his inner "Beckham".

I think he nailed it.

Where the EFF is Spring??????

Seriously, we went from frigid - to mild spring temps - to hot as hell "summer's here" Virginia weather.

I mean - who busts out the kiddie pool at the beginning in April? Not people in Bend. That's fer durn shore.

But, friend Missy did. And we were ever, ever so thankful. 95 degrees, and 90% humidity.

No bueno, when the pools don't open for another month and a half.

Lawn chair forts. Brings back memories, doesn't it?
Kieran, facing his irrational fear of snakes. I threw the rubber one in the pool not thinking about it, and he broke out into hysterics as soon as he saw it. Oi. Note to self: Kieran does NOT like snakes.

"Flippy Flippy" weather.
Ok, get the age range here. Braxton - 4 years 3mos, Kieran - 2years 4 mos, Taylor 1 year 23 mos.

They're ALL the same size. Blows my mind.

How's the weather where you're at?

Nap time.

Shhhhhh... They're sleeping.

What My Hubband Does.

He test pilots $2 billion dollar submarines. After he tells everyone how to build them. (Ok, more specifically, the nuclear power plants on them.) I don't know who the other guy is, but the guy with the hair is Admiral Donald. Hubband's boss. (Also the most senior admiral in the fleet...)

This is his latest project, the USS New Mexico. And this was taken during Sea Trials. Which, you may remember took place during Thanksgiving.

He is actually in there. And seeing this picture makes me all melty inside. Which is weird. So I had to blog. Because we wouldn't be the circus if it were normal.

Those People.

You've seen them.

The ones who tape hair to their bare feet, wear a gold ring around their neck and say "my precious".

Or the ones who wear pointy hats, robes, carry an owl and broomstick.

Super fans.

Today, my kids joined their legions.

We took the boys to see "How to Tame Your Dragon" this morning.

It just so happened that the Easter Bunny brought dragon jammies in their basket. Which they wore to the film.

It was awesome. They were definitely the coolest kids there.

At least, that's my opinion...

Ahhhh....

Mark and I have been at church the last five days in a row, for the final rally before confirmation.

You know what I discovered?

Vigil Mass is long.

Vigil Mass is probably the best mass I've ever been to.

If you go to Vigil Mass, you don't have to wake up early on Sunday, get dressed up on Sunday, or fight crowds on Sunday.

We're going to go see a movie. In jeans. While everyone is at church. Because we've "been there, done that".

Happy Easter Everyone.
