We Are Expecting (Furry!) Babies!
















I have discovered, last week, that we have 5 little blue bird eggs in our flower basket on the front porch. I purposely, to protect these little birdie lives, havent told my kids yet. This morning we went outside and I took a peek, and couldnt resist telling the kids. Of course they went nuts, and the Mama and Daddy birds flew for their lives! We looked at the eggs, watered the plant, sprinkled sunflower seeds for the Mommy bird ( not in the plant:). That flippin nest has been the best free babysitter here Ive ever had. For about 2 hours, they watched outside, watched from the window inside, and talked about these birds. Mady kept wanting to know when they were coming back to sit on the "lightbugs" ( lightbulbs). Sadly, after all this commotion, Im sure today was the last day these birds will be residents at the Hotel Motel de la Gunters. Happy Mothers Day!

Busy Week!




This past week and weekend was kinda busy... not many pictures taken. Grace got her first letter home about the last day of school being May 27! I cannot, cannot, believe her first year is over. The is been the fastest year by far. She has done really well and we are excited to see what first grade brings! ( Hopefully I will be over the "public school" culture shock by then. I cannot believe some of the things she comes home with! At 5!!!!)


Mady is of course the same, a bit sassier and wilder. Well maybe a good bit:) She is into saying no every other third minute and stupid. Stupid is just the best golden word in the world to her ( of course because its forbidden by me.... she trys to see how many times under her breath she can say it before I hear it). Other than that, we are all doing well~ have a good week!
