5K run and a new hair cut!

So this last Saturday Nathan and I went and ran the 5K, actually walked would better describe what we did :). I am not going to lie I probably would not attempt that again with 2 kids waking them up at 6:30 in the morning but all in all it was fun, and such a beautiful day out! YEA for Spring time!! Becca and Rachel were really good sports about it, up until the end of the race they sat pretty still and happy in the stroller eating snack:). Can I tell you how excited I am getting for warm weather!? I'M SO EXCITED! I said it now I feel much better WEW! Seriously though what a happy time of year. I was at Walmart grocery shopping the other day and spotted a watermelon, and I just about cried. Anyway I also decided to chop my hair shorter the other day and I love it! It's fun to have a change, plus I could not take one more day of blow drying my hair with it being as long as it was. Well anyway here are a few pics from our weekend.

Easter

So on Easter Sunday Nathan had to go out of town:( at like noon. So the morning was a bit crazy for us trying to get ready for church getting Nathan packed, breakfast blah blah blah. My parents and brother Alex came over for Dinner, so the girls opened baskets then. I had an Easter egg hunt all planned out for the girls, I was so excited to do this for them. I was thinking I was so smart hiding the eggs a few days before in a spot I think Becca will not find them....Little did I know! Turns out Becca knew all along where I had kept the eggs before I was going to put them out! I walk into the kitchen to find Becca getting all the eggs out and going to hide them...What? I though that was my job? Oh well! She had so much fun hiding and finding the eggs then doing it all over again (the rest of the day). These are just a few pics from the day.

A typical week

Our weeks and days are the same usually, and I like it that way. I have come to love so many things about being a mom. I love being home with the girls. We wake up in the morning to Becca having already changed her outfit 3 times with different dresses (she is obsessed with dresses). She then goes and plays quietly in her room till Rachel wakes around 7:45, and that is when we wake up for the day. We make breakfast (we are not cereal people). Nathan goes to work, the girls and I play in the front room while I then clean up breakfast mess. Rachel goes down for a 1st nap. While Rachel snoozes the times away Becca and I usually put together a puzzle or she reads books. I try to get a load of laundry in each day around this time also. Rachel wakes up, we like to have bath time around then or after her second nap. We make lunch, and play some more:). Girls both go down for an afternoon nap, along with myself :) If I don't nap I like to clean or get comfy up on the couch and read or just sit and think (usually about decorating). When both girls wake up we like to go out if it's nice, or go to the store (I love Target). If we don't do either of those things we color, have snacks, maybe watch a movie while I make dinner and anticipate when daddy gets home. The girls get so excited when they hear that garage door open, they both go running for the door (Rachel crawls as fast as she can:) to see him, it is so cute! We eat dinner, put the girls to bed Rachel at 6, Becca around 7. Then Nathan and I talk or I will go run some errands. We usually talk, and clean the kitchen at some point:). And that sums up our most typical day. It probably sounds boring, but I have come to love it so much. I know that life will not always be this relaxed when the girls get older and get involved in sports, school etc... But for now I enjoy how my life is. And love these little girls so much, they make our life happy:) If you got this far in reading thank you. I am horrible lately at keeping a journal so for now this will have to work. These are a few pics from the week.

Hot chocolate in April???

So Today Becca wanted to go outside. She has been really confused lately with all the snow we have been getting, and thinks Christmas must be here any minute! So I decide that we should make some hot chocolate since it's snowing and Becca has been outside in it. What is wrong with this!? I am all geared up for spring and sunshine, instead we are listing to Christmas tunes (thanks to Nathan:) and drinking hot cocoa. Oh well I guess I will just try to enjoy it while it is here, Spring should be around the corner any minute right? Oh wait no it must be Christmas I am the one confused here, Becca had it right haha. Well hope all of you are having a Merry Christmas and a Happy Easter week!
