Weekend Recap

This weekend was all about being a Texan. You see every year we have this amazing thing happen and they’re called bluebonnets. What’s a bluebonnet? Ask any Texas Kindergartner and they will tell you why ma’am that’s our state flower. They look like little tiny blue bonnets and line the roadside hills of our interstates especially through the hill country.

Every year about this time we make the drive out of the city and into Chappell Hill-home of the Bluebonnet Festival. We look for those marvelous blue and orange hills. We have Indian paintbrushes too-don’t know about those? Check out this and this Tomie dePaola children’s book.

We take a picture every single year-some years go well…..

Like I said we are making memories-they may not be the ones we wanted to make but we sure did make them.

We celebrate our Texas victory by doing something well Texan-BBQ-and pies, and blue bell and kolaches.

Because well the stars at night are big and bright-deep in the heart of Texas.

I’m a little late on this one.Our weather here went from 90 last week to 45 today-it’s been a killer!

This weekend we inched our way up to Easter! This is the week Jesus was ushered in by the people waving palms. This is the week He was betrayed, this is the week His mother lost her son, this is the week we gained redemption. May we pause and ready our hearts for this immense miracle.

We are getting ready for our Easter celebration! Crafts and stories a bunnies and eggs and peeps of course.

We continued our month long birthday extravaganza by going to another party this weekend. This time it was a gymnastics party. After this year I think I will pretty much know every place to have a party in our town. Row had a blast jumping and jumping and jumping. We did too!

Hubs and I thanks to Grandma got to catch Zootopia-my choice. Since I only got to see a good ten minutes with Row I had been jonesing to see the rest. I am a Disnerd. We went and it was AMAZING! I loved it sooooo much. So much great subject matter and they did a great job explaining grown up problems such as prejudice and racism, and striving for your dreams. I was really impressed. Of course it will be coming home with us once it’s on DVD.

I hope you had an amazing weekend and are gearing up for a cherished week. I’m prepping to make the Bunny cake!!!

This past week/weekend was Go Texan Day here in the great state of Texas. For all you non Texan folk what that means is we celebrate Texas-not the Texans football team but actual Texans. We wear cowgirl wear and dance the square and get ready for Rodeo. It also means the trail riders converge on Houston for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The really cool thing is that actual cow folk ride their horses and cattle and wagons across Texas on the actual roads and camp out along the way until they end up in downtown Houston for the month long event. To celebrate we had Go Texan Day at music. My little cowgirl played the part.

We also had the first in a month long birthday party adventure. I love that now that our kiddos are getting older we are having more and more parties at places instead of homes. It’s fun to see all the party places our area has to offer. This time we went to an inflatable jumpy house place. Row loved it! It’s fun seeing our precious babes grown from 8 months to 3 year olds in our village of Mamas.

This coming week is filled with music, and speech therapy, and another party!!!! Oh and the neighborhood garage sale where I will be shopping my heart out. If Kon Marie didn’t kill it. As you prepare for your week I pray you have a fun filled, stress less, living in every single moment kind of week. Enjoy the bumps and love the ride.
