one thing to another

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you literally run from one thing to another?

 Where you are grabbing,jerking,dressing and feeding the kids only to run out the door to the next thing. 

Trying to keep some sense of organized chaos without leaving a kid behind or ending up in the wrong place?

Only to find out in the middle of this madness that Scotty has to go out of town for a few days!! What??? Take deep breaths, so what if we are late, or not completely dressed or skip a few meals.

Truth be told I wouldn't have wanted to miss one event this past week & I secretly like organized chaos, I throw the organized part in there but really it is just chaos.

A crazy mother's day weekend led right into a chaotic week but thankfully ended in peaceful bliss.

I reached for my camera several times this week only to remember the SD card was left at home , so grainy cell phone photos it is.

Thanks to the beautiful mess app 

I added a little fun to the photos.

Finally finding a seat close to the fire to spend quality time with friends while throwing in a little bit of nature. 

Crammed as the week was we made so many great memories!! Our amazing friends & family make the chaos completely worth it!

Fleece, flip flops, or rain boots

You have to love Kentucky weather this time of year. The everyday weather change is turning me into a master of layering. This is the last time I pay attention to that dang groundhog he only got my hopes up. 

 

I finally decided to lose my bad attitude that came with those freezing days in March and to hope for the best.

 Maybe just maybe if we got our toes ready for flip flop season there might be a day in the near future we could blow the dust off of our flip flops. Add a pasta dinner,some slightly creepy snacks, girls, polish, and hope for the sun to shine!

 

 

I earned cool points from my kids for the funny, slightly gross treats that resemble fingers with painted nails. Yes, they are creepy I will definitely do these again on Halloween but probably not another spa night.

Thankfully the sun did decide to shine for a few glorious days. 

Then came the rain. 

Making the most of it the boys set up camp in their playhouse.

No matter the weather I am thankful and learning to embrace each day that God has made and to rejoice and be glad in it.  (insert song: This is the Day) a favorite at our house when one of us wakes up not so ready for the day. Which either earns a smile or an annoyed look, kind of like the weather this time of year. 

Happy Spring & all the crazy weather that comes with it!
