I just love everyday occurences...

Gabby found her St. Patty day hair band yesterday, a little too late sadly enough. She still wore it throughout the day though! What can I say, she loves to accessorize...ha ha! Cavan loves to wear Gabby's galoshes from Pop Pop, and puts them on every chance he gets. Yesterday, he decided to combine them with one of Dad's many hats. I have to say...he was stylin'!!


Sunday, after Church, we had some yummy cupcake with chocolate icing after dinner. Cavan, being a very "hands on" eater, was wearing most of it by the time he was done.
He was also very annoyed at me for taking pictures and NOT taking him out of his seat. It was too funny not to document. Ha!
Today, we decided we needed to watch the Garbage men pick up the trash...it was very thrilling...especially for Cavan!


This poem I just read on another persons blog...
boy I need to play more with my kiddos...
Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing and butter the bread,
Sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I’ve grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
The shopping’s not done and there’s nothing for stew
And out in the yard there’s a hullabaloo
But I’m playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren’t her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).

The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

We spent a special week in Maple Hill, it was just wonderful! We had lots of this time...and...

We thoroughly enjoyed watching Lydia enjoy her food...

we enjoyed getting to know him for a bit...
follow the dog around...
and did I mention watching this little one! We could have kissed those little plump cheeks all day long!
We watched Granny work...
and Aunt Mi Mi work...
and then we tried to take a picture of the Grandkids! I had the easy job, Aunt Mi Mi was working hard on the front line...
