early April 2017

Happy April Fools Day from Ryan

yes, the girls screamed, and yes, my heart did skip a beat :)

Filling smile bags!  

Coleson was able to get all these scented Mr Sketch markers donated, thanks dear, hooray for knowing people!

In the end, there were sixty total bags ready for donation

These Smile Bags were Danielle's baby, and she did a great job of making a fun event out of the bag filling - and the whole process in general!

Spring break Wednesday

Delivering the smile bags to Scottish Rite

these clowns were pretty awesome

an early birthday present

it was pouring rain that day!  We actually delayed our delivery due to storm warnings

get your ice cold lemonade!

We only had three total customers, all immediate neighbors, who must have tipped generously.  the six selling kids [our three, Kayla, Kinsley, and Oakley] paid back the supplies and each made over a dollar each.

Chloe fast asleep at the dinner table - the video that goes along with this is hilarious.  She would literally nod off into her bowl, jerk her head back up, and do it again :)

The Tweetys are on the left and new to the block this year is a Robin on the right

The Tweetys nested in that same spot in 2016, then here in 2017, and I think in 2018 as well.  We grew quite fond of them!

This was spring break Thursday
