Happy Mother's Day!


The boys and I finally got some flower pots started for the year. Sawyer suggested that we spray paint this pot bright orange, and it was practically begging for our Target Dollar Spot gnome to come and join him! We are SO behind on our planting our vegetable garden, but I hope to have it all in by the end of next weekend *fingers crossed!*
Sutton got me some sunny yellow tulips, which went perfectly in this mason jar that also got hit with the orange spray paint. Love it!
Mitch kept the boys occupied on Sunday while I got some things checked off of my "to do" list. Their idea of keeping busy was to  build marshmallow shooters for all the boys in our neighborhood!
The boys and I made some Angry Birds shirts. Sutton thought his was sooo funny, "It means I'm super cool!"
Sawyer practiced his closed mouth smirky smile...
...to hide the fact that he lost ANOTHER tooth! He has three teeth missing now! This one was incredibly special; however, because it was the first one that came out naturally on it's own (without any intervention from a trampoline net enclosure!).
Simon learned to crawl last week, and he has gotten FAST! He is already starting to pull himself up on EVERYTHING, which means that I can't turn my back on him for a single second! He likes to get up on his knees and sit like this, especially at the fireplace where he can talk to his own reflection.
Meet Sebastian, our new hermit crab. I won him yesterday at the Strawberry Festival (where I also completely forgot my camera in the car!)...because nothing goes better with strawberries than hermit crabs, right? Sawyer & Sutton are super excited to have a new roommate - he's co-habiting on top of their bookshelf.
