where's the popsicle?

Today is not warm enough for Popsicles- pouring rain outside with mud slide warnings. However, just 4 days ago it was lovely & the 1st Popsicles of many appeared. Max happily wandered around and enjoyed his. Tank-er-tot's was placed in many strategic locations to be enjoyed until it melted away.


When he was carrying it, for some reason upside down worked best for him.Can you spot the Popsicle on Tate's car/walker?

It's sure to be safe in a fire truck.This bucket will do for a while...

















"Tate, you don't put it here. Put it in your mouth."
Sticky, strawberry, goodness.

We are loving this springy weather :)

Time for some sunshine...

...and a new post.

Let's just be clear, I have not been slacking. I've been busy.

-sewing projects

-thinking of starting a craft blog dedicated to my feeble hand-made attempts. Been working on this since October! (this way a spare family from having to see posts about trying new recipes or things I made for the boys)

-caring for the sick and needy (all in my own family),

-never ending laundry & dirty counter tops (dishes are usually done by Mike)

-designing & making new stencils for my Etsy shop, Max & Magnolia (sold several already!)

-facebooking (how else do you know what your friends and family are up to? Actually TALK to them?)

-organizing (didn't get very far)

-waiting for warmer weather to get out and do fun stuff (hence this first warm weather post)

We started the morning out with a little of this:

(I love the pure look of joy on Tate's face)

Then we caught a wiff of the orange blossoms and headed over to do this:

Then we got organized,

"squished" the oranges,

ate the yummy pulp,

and got our vitamin C fix for the day.

Not bad for activities before noon, eh?
