Sweet Spring Moments

Spring is such a beautiful time of year.  It is hard to feel sorry or down.  Here are a few sweet moments that I've been enjoying lately and I don't want to forget.

• Our grass looks like a jungle.  Seriously.  We pulled out the mower and it wouldn't start.  I've been trying to convince Aaron to get a new one anyways since I can't start our current one and it is very heavy.  I'm the primary mower in the house because I love to have the peaceful time alone outside just walking around the yard and Aaron hates it (primarily due to his extreme grass allergies).  We're seriously considering getting something like this.  We just need to research and make sure that it actually works.  
  
• I love my sweet baby boy.  Mostly he is 100% pure boy but then sometimes he surprises me with sweet little moments.  This morning I went into his room to get him up and he was sitting in his bed snuggling with a baby doll.  Hopefully, he won't someday kill me for posting this.  And then at breakfast, he was singing one line of the Doxology over and over in his high-pitched little voice.  Aww shucks.  I'm glad to be his mom...most of the time. 
• Speaking of breakfast, this morning we had eggs with chunks of fried potatoes probably also known as a hash though I was completely out of other veggies to put in it.  We also had a few breakfast cookies (oats, bananas, coconut, etc) leftover.  The kids surprised me by asking for 3rds of their eggs and barely touching their cookies.  They are so egg crazy.  
• One thing that cracks me up about my  husband is when he buys  me flowers.  He hardly ever does but he always tries to make them a huge surprise.  He either has them delivered or he goes someone and hides them and arranges things with a manager so that I'll conveniently find them.   Remember that time he mortified me by hiding a giant bouquet in the manager's office at Hobby Lobby?  Well, this week he left work a few minutes and stopped by the restaurant we had decided to go on a date at and left a bunch of tulips on the table. The waitress tried to seat us in a different part of the building and Aaron had to redirect her.  I guess flowers are just too boring.  In addition to the flowers, he brought me some pecan caramel cookies from a local bakery that were pretty much to die for.  
• Kira is very much looking forward to Easter this year.  She has requested to have curls in her hair and I know she'll love everything about the day.  We'll probably have 100 photo opportunities and I'll end up only taking 2 of the whole day.  I guess you win some and you lose some.
