Look What We Found!

("Bunnies that move")

I mowed right over the top of them, thank heavens they weren't hurt! At first I thought it was mice, (yuck), turns out they are cottontail bunnies. We covered them back up and didn't touch them so the mother would have a chance to feed them.
The mother never came back (we arranged sticks over the nest that were never moved), so we thought, "Why not care for them ourselves and give them a shot if they are going to die anyway?" Although it's always better to just let them be I think watching Hailey's excitement as we helped them has made it a fun experience. It's hard not to rethink our decision. We have to stimulate them to go to the bathroom and feed them twice a day. I don't mind too much, but I'm a little bit of a germ-o-phobe and I'm scared to introduce any wierd disease (hence the latex gloves).
The cutest thing is when Hailey tells people we have bunnies.....that move!!

"Cheesy" Popcorn

Just wanted to thank Nana for the CARMEL popcorn recipe. I had never made it until just recently. Although we used to call it SNOTTY popcorn, Hailey likes to call it CHEESY popcorn, so that is our new name for it.
Here is the recipe:
In a frying pan boil for 3 minutes, constantly stirring
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup Karo syrup
Pour over popcorn (not exactly non-fat, oops)



This is a random picture I took a while ago. Hailey put her glasses on her head because she wanted to look "just like my mommy."
I'm really not trying to mock, (this is the preschool Hailey will be attending in the Fall) but wouldn't you agree this is pretty funny?

Painting

First of all thank you Andrea for the color (this may give you a good idea of what it looks like Rebecca S.)!!! I love it. I don't like to paint very much but since I spend tons of time in my bath, I wanted it to be peaceful. What a difference it makes to slap on a coat of paint!

Zoo Pass!!

Hooray for zoo passes! I can tell we are going to be regulars this year at the zoo. Hailey's favorite animal is the elephant but she was getting pretty close to this gigantic walrus!

Kate and Abbey hugging!

Hailey was having so much fun holding Kate's hand and showing her around!

A Simple Solution to a Little Escape Artist

For those of you with kids that like to escape out the front door and dash into the road faster than lightning, this small lock may offer some peace. IT DID FOR ME!!Originally I was going to have the locksmith install another dead bolt but found out these are less expensive and just as effective!




Too bad my kids can't reach that high and even if they could wouldn't be able to figure out how to unlock it!!! HA ha ha!

Pajama Party

With Daddy gone on business, Hailey and I had a fun night together (we missed Kate who was fast asleep). I propped up the camera and used the timer to take this picture. I had to capture that moment of pure happiness as Hailey realized she got to stay up late, watch a movie, sleep in mommy's bed and eat popcorn!

A Good Day!!

On Sunday, April 20th, Kate spent her first official day at church in nursery! It was so fun to see my two little girls together.
Thanks to my sweet neighbor for taking a quick family picture, and thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Heiner for the cute dresses for the girls!

I've Never Considered Myself a Crafty Person...But this was Fun to Make!!

I have seen diaper cakes like this before and remember thinking, "Man that is cute, but way too time consuming." Well, let's just say I got a little bored. I enjoy doing crafts (simple ones), I just don't have vision when it comes to CREATING something on my own. That is why I love the Google search engine (for instructions on how to make a diaper cake like this click here.)

I am attending baby shower tomorrow for a friend and hope she likes the end result!

A little hobby of mine is to crochet beeds onto baby socks. I threw a couple pairs on the cake to finish it off!

The finished product!!

Random Rainy Late Night Walk

For some reason Hailey wanted to go for a walk at 9:30 at night???? I know she should be in bed, but we thought, why not? We didn't really want to find her coat (it is always missing), so she wore one of mine. It was slightly sprinkling, but it felt so good to get some fresh air!

On our way back we noticed little Gracie outside her door. Hailey obviously yelled out her name and they both started running out in the road. We told her to stop to which she replied, "But I gotta give her a hug!" So I took a picture of the result!

Thank heavens for those fun crazy moments.

Fondue Night

We had a blast hosting a fondue/egg coloring/balloon popping/Ben's Birthday night of fun!!!
