Breezy Afternoon in Vero

We took the kids on a little walk on Saturday afternoon to get them out of the house. The breeze felt so nice, against the skin with the smell of the ocean in the air. There are some benefits to living by the beach.

Rock Star Guitar Heros

Since Aunt Emmie and Uncle Mike's house is not quite kid friendly yet with toys, Emily pulled out the best toys that she had....Guitars from Guitar Hero. So the kiddies jammed out on the Guitars. Elyse sang all of her songs from her upcoming Easter play and Hunter echoed. It was adorable, except when Hunter got knocked in the head a couple times by the hyper rockstar Elyse.

remembering childhood

We wrapped our trip by driving back to Tally on Tuesday. We stopped at the rest stop and ate lunch. It made me think of my childhood b/c that is what we did when I was child we traveled. I loved that memory for some reason. Sometimes, I just start thinking that I can't believe that I am the parent now and I make the decisions for these little lives. It is so amazing how quickly the roles turn on you.

Cozy by the fire

Michael would make lots of fires this chilly winter. So the kids liked to cuddle up with hot chocolate while the fire was blazing.

Hosana

At church Elyse and Hunter learned how Jesus was praised when he came into Jerusalem on the Donkey before he was crucified. They brought home palm leaves that they made. We talked about the story and then Elyse decided to practice with the leaves. I can't tell you how much my children learning and growing in truth means to me, more than anything that can be provided on this temporary earth.

rubber tires for play

There is this great park in Tally called Tom Brown Park. We don't go often b/c it is far away from our house. But one Saturday Michael decided that it was time to take the kids outside to enjoy the start of spring. So we packed up the kiddies and went. We were there for 2 hours straight, chasing the kids around. However, the neat thing about this park is that the ground is not made of wood chips or sands it is made from rubber tires. So the cool part is, the kids don't get hurt when they fall.

Savings, Deals, and Coupons, a mom's best friend

My family and I are on a serious plan to get debt free, not as serious as others, as I still like to have mini outings that cost some money. But we still are working towards goals. I have discovered this wonderful blog, given to me by a dear friend. It has helped me to save money at the grocery store and other places. She does the research and you just click and download for great savings. I hated coupons but the other day when I saw that I saved a total of $60 in BOGO's at Publix and coupons, I can't resist doing it now. So happy clipping, printing, and saving.
