Easter Hair Cuts

I gave my boys fair cuts at work today to get ready for their Easter photos. Afterwards we went to the big playground to run out all their sillys. We finished with ice cream as we waited for our train ride home. I am really being spoiled by all this warm weather. I am not looking forward to any wet rainy weather ahead. The boys and I had a great time out and I am really enjoying our extra time together while they are on their Easter break.

Maddox donned his Batman cape for today’s salon and park outing.

Carb free pasta made by my husband, Ryan. Paleo meatballs on linguini made from Zucchini.

Warm Spring weather, picnic at the parks, and spending time with my boys outside. #ilovemylife

Observation & Quiz

Leave a reply

Today was a nice change of pace. Instead of my usual home-work locations, I had two other locations to head to today. This morning I got to go to my son’s school to observe him in the classroom setting. It was really fun to see him in class and to get some great ideas for when we homeschool. This evening Ryan sent me out of the house to hang out with his friends for a Pub Quiz night. This was my very first pub quiz and I was quite excited to take part. Tried the Bulmer’s pear cider for the first time too. Though the quiz questions were not all that easy for me I did fairly good at picking out the celebrities in the photo portion.

Just finished observation day with Maddox in class. Really helpful in planning his new curriculum. Oh to four years old again.

My boys woke me up on Mothering Sunday with homemade cards from school, flowers, and chocolates.

Pink roses are so beautiful.

St. Patrick’s Day

Leave a reply

St. Patrick’s Day is definitely a bigger holiday in America (and celebrated bigger) than it is in the UK. No wonder we’ve been told to stay away from Dublin today…filled with loud drunk American tourists.

Green spinach to go with our BBQ brisket.

The Sun comes out and we flock to the Beach.

The Sun came out today and so everyone flocked to the beach at Brighton. After picking up the boys from school we decided to meet up with Ryan’s friends. But by the time we got to Brighton the sun hid behind the clouds and the temperature dropped again. Ryan’s friends had become reclusive to their apartment and we had the beach to ourselves. As the light started to go down we decided to seek warmth at the pub for dinner. But not before we got some new family photos on the shores of Brighton Beach.
