Tatum's Gymnastics Graduation

May is 2 days away!

Tatum and I planted some flower boxes this afternoon. I have dreams of planting a beautiful garden full of butterflies and enough vegetables to freeze, can, and eat all winter, but let's be serious here...these flowers are as close as I'm going to get for a while. Atleast they're pretty.




2 hours later this is what we get...

Okay so it's not snow, but it sure seems like it. The weather turned on us and we had a huge hale storm that turned our spring day into "Do you know what this means?! It's Christmas!", which was the first thing Tatum said when she saw it.

Oh well. Here's a pic of the girls. Tatum sat Marley next to her, covered her with a blanket, and preceded to read her a story. Pretty cute.

New resolution...

I've decided to work on my patience. So from now until I forget to do it, I will be doing things EXTRA slow. This way when Tatum takes a day and a half to get her jump swing into her car seat JUST RIGHT, I'll be okay with it. Conflict averted! So I predict it will take me twice as long to do anything and everything, but that's ok. I have nothing else to do!

Geese

Today I watched a pair of geese stop traffic on highway 224. Only in Oregon! PS. I never knew geese walked so slow (or is it slowly, whatever).

Smacks

So FYI, never spill smacks cereal on the semi-shag carpet. Impossible!

As of Late...

Tatum has become such a beautiful big girl. I am so proud of her. She is getting smarter and smarter by the minute. She can even write her own name, to the astonishment of her primary teachers. She loves her swim classes and just began taking tap dance too. She's great at everything she does and can't help but be the teacher's pet...hmmm, who'd she get that from?

Mission: Re-upholster really ugly, dirty, STINKY cute chair
