its been a while since I posted.  Its been crazy busy here.  We're trying to finish up some projects before daddy comes home later this week.  We're taking the four days off while he's home.  And I"m steering him and the kiddos outta the house for a few hours each day for some much needed mommy time!!

Here's what's been going on around here:

We're working on Apologia's Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day and we absolutely love it.  Here's the kiddos painting their dolphins to put in their diarama boxes.  I still have to put the paper in the box, which I'm planning to get done while daddy's home.

Here's Courtnee  mixing all of the paint together, into one really nice yucky color!

Caterpillars are literally falling outta trees right now around here.  Here's a couple we grabbed and put into our bug catcher.

This little guy was caught by our friend's son.  Any idea what this spikey tail thing is?  Or what kind of caterpillar it is?

Here's some beautiful flowers hubby had sent for our anniversary!

Here's myself and a few friends that night before my birthday.  They came over to scrapbook and surprised me with a cake and gifts!  I'm so blessed!

Here's the cupcakes the kids made for my birthday breakfast, as is tradition in our house!  My other friend blessed me and surprised me with these!

They look yummy don't they?  And last, but not least, here's Kailyn playing with some toys!

She loves it when Trey stacks blocks for her to knock down!

Sorry for the long post and lots of photos.  Hopefully, we'll be better on track this week!!  Take care everyone and have a blessed week!
