Why is it...

...that on the weekends when you WANT your kids to sleep in, they are up at 6:30 in the morning, begging for breakfast...yet, on a school day, when they NEED to get up, they manage to sleep through their alarm clock for more than 20 minutes? It's crazy, I tell ya ;-)

We've had a busy, yet fun, couple of days - here are some fun pics...

Brianna at her school program - she was Straw, the Horse for the play...

Kaylee's school took a walking field trip to the new school - it's supposed to be done around Christmastime...

David finally came back from Oklahoma - he was gone all week and the girls really missed him! We met him at the airport on Friday and I wish I had Brailee's reaction on video, I think she was the most excited to see him again - she is such a daddy's girl! So we did sparklers that night - I hope these pics don't make anyone dizzy but I think they turned out cool...

The girls and I made cookies for our Ward Party/Picnic. My mom made us all these fun aprons for Mother's Day and we finally got to use them - thanks, Mom!

This picture turned out blurry because I still had it set on night mode from the fireworks fun the night before, but I just loved this cheesy smile that Brailee gave me...

Here are some pics from the party - I missed the funniest picture opportunity when David was throwing some of the YM into the pond ;-) after some of the kids started a water fight, picking on a few of the adults.

Brianna had fun collecting shells (notice the butterfly tatoo she gave herself on her forehead ;-)

Brailee discovered more dandelions - and 'wishes' as her older sisters call them ;-)

Last week, our Snow Crab Apple tree flowers bloomed, so the bees have been all over it. Brianna was watching out the window and said, "Mom, the bees must be having a party!" Then that night she said, "or maybe they're having a hoe down" and then yesterday she was watching the ants on her stepping stone and figured they must be having a meeting. She just cracks me up!
