Refreshing!!!

It has been so REFRESHING to have the beautiful weather. It has really made me stop and think about this glorious, beautiful world we have been blessed to live in. The green grass, the blue skies, the soft wind, the heat of the sun on my face.....ahhhhh....I couldn't' tell you how many times I literally stopped doing whatever I was doing this past weekend and really took it all in. Even things, that use to be a bit of annoyance was refreshing, which I'm sure will be back on that list before long...but for right now I enjoy. Driving home from my grandmother's last night....I was hearing bugs hit my windshield. I enjoyed the fact that it was warm enough to have that many bugs. Mallory and I colored Easter eggs on Saturday afternoon....with the door open. Not just the screen open...but the entire door. I didn't care if bugs came in or she went out....we left it open. We went for a LONG walk and enjoyed the sun but most of all the conversation. I thought to myself....this is life. These are the moments and the days that make it easier to get up out of bed each day and welcome with open arms what the day is going to hold......REFRESHING!!!

 Here comes Peter Cottontail!

 Mommy/Daughter selfie

 Easter Egg Hunt at daycare.

 And there she goes....

 She wasn't quite sure at first....

 My ears are flopping in my eyes.....

 I found one!!!

 She even looks like a bunny with that kind of smile...

 Mal Mal & Tay Tay....

 She even smiles like this for her teachers....egg painting....

 Mallory has a new obsession of picking flowers...so watch out if you have anything other than dandelions...cuz' Mallory will pick them!

 Coloring our Easter eggs.

 She liked watching them in the dye....Mommy did too until Mallory launched a cup across the table. Big Mess!

 Look at my egg Mom!

 Oh wait....I need to smile!

 Easter morning chocolate....I asked Mallory what she would like to eat for breakfast and her reply....CANDY!! Well of course!

 The Easter Bunny left some foot prints down the hall...Mallory asked what they were. I told her the Easter Bunny snuck into the house, left her some goodies, snuck back out and went to someone else's house. She looked at me, looked down the hallway and simply replied....that's scary mommy. Yes, you're right Mallory...it is kind of creepy...which you can tell my her expression that she was a bit freaked out by the Easter Bunny's maneuvers.

 Easter Egg Hunt!!

 

She got very excited when she found them. The Easter Bunny hide them in her swing, in the bushes, in the tree...she would get so happy.

 Easter dress is never complete with out some shades!

 Flying her new princess kite with daddy before church.

 She loved it!!

 Driving Miss Daisy....I love this picture of Mallory!

 Oh boy....she looks a bit on the evil side....loL!

 The whole gang....not all looking...but all together! Good lookin' bunch!

Some days you just have to have no pants sleeps....

 

This picture cracks me up....We have a video monitor. I was getting dressed for work one morning and looked at the monitor and noticed that I thought Mallory had taken her pants off. I thought it was kind of funny but assumed she had just gotten hot. About an hour later, I walk into her room and not only is she completely asleep but completely naked. So I snapped the pic....She immediately woke up and said, "I peed." I said, "Why did you take your pants and diaper off?" She said, "I peed mommy." I again assumed she peed in her diaper, didn't like it so she took it off. Not only was I right about that but she had also peed all of her bed! YIKES! I couldn't help but laugh...oh does this girl keep me on my toes.
