Lately...

We had the neighbors over for St. Patty's Day Party complete with live music.

Mr. Masters took a picture of me before the party but notice how my skirt and the plates match! It was funny because i had the skirt but found the plates at Hobby Lobby. It was a FUN party and we plan to make it annual event.

Some of the boys listening to the music, which was great!

Here are some of the girls just relaxing.

Here is Grey's new room. I meant to post last time but forgot. I have not put the lights in yet but getting there and I originally planned on putting this as a headboard but he is a maniac and I did not feel comfortable putting this in his reach. When he gets a little older I will use it as a headboard.

This picture is a little dark due to naptime but here is his painted headboard complete with licence plates. I think it turned out cute but he manages to pull those off the wall. That boy!!

Phoebe is learning to ride without training wheels and almost has it.

This is a picture after all the kids ran in the St. Patty's Day race again this year. Greyson even got to run and they all received shamrock medals. They enjoyed ice cream after the race.

Our niece won a state award for a picture she took and was honored in the ATL. So Mr. Masters took the girls after church to have lunch with them. Thanks to Mamaw for their wonderful Easter Baskets!

Saturday some of the neighborhood kids hung out at our house and played games and had fun!

This go in the wrong order but this is the after picture after ripping out all those terrible pokey holly bushes.

We took out all the ugly junipers by the mailbox too. I can wait to landscape them and make them pretty.

You can actually see our front door and you don't have to worry about the bushes hurting you when you walk by.

THis is a picture of how we pulled them out since they were pretty mature.

The before picture....

Here is a snail and if you look behind her there is a little one. So cute! They were crossing our grass so we decided to help them along and put them in the brush.

While we have been outside so much has caused us to stumble across some of the creatures that live in our back yard. Here are two salamanders that the kids had fun with and then we let them go.

I painted my larger post on my stairs white... trying to get rid of that 80's look and really looking forward to ripping the carpet off the stairs and the living areas in the fall.

Soccer is still in full swing and the girls are enjoying it. Lula more so than Pheebs but she is having fun too.

We have been living outside since the weather is so fabulous. I caught the kids playing nicely together in the hammock.

We caught a lizard and they both have their mouth wide open. He was not happy but we let him go.

This is my building in the back where I painted my quilt square. Really like it and need to do it on the other side. Now I need curtains for the windows and plant honey suckle on either side of the front doors and this project will be complete.
