First Day of Spring!!!

Well Today was the first day of spring and this year it actually acted like it and thank goodness for that because we had alot planned for today....We started our day off bright and early meeting K-love at the Ronald Mcdonald House....We have wanted to explain to Abigayl what she went through as a Baby but were waiting for a good age and time....so a few weeks ago when a friend had asked to see her scrapbook her daddy then sat down and looked through it with her and explained it all to her....I wanted us to be able to find a way to give back to CHKD and while we as a family are not able to volunteer there Ronald Mcdonald house is tied to them and houses families that live a distance from the hospital who have a child staying in there....So when we heard on K-Love that they were going to be there we jumped at the opportunity...we arrived and we happy to jump in and start cleaning baseboards, soda machines, wiping down cupboards and the elevator....many other people and families were also there to help out and it was great to see a community that cared so much for these families...We also brought home a list of needs for the house and K-love will be there each month and we plan on serving right along side them....the kids were so excited about what they had done when they left and I was happy to have planted a seed in them....

We then had the pleasure of going to Pations End of the year Ceremony for Basketball there team did such a fabulous job this year putting forth all their best efforts and they placed 3rd.....Pation also made a basket every game WHOOHOO!!! He was so overjoyed to receive his first Trophy ever...CONGRATS Pation You Da Man!!!

Then it was Free Ice at Rita's and Boy what a GREAT day for that...last year the kids wanted me to take them and we went but the temperature was anything but nice...it was around 48 degrees...so when we awoke and the sun was shining and we all ended up in shorts and capris with t-shirts we made sure to squeeze in some sweetness in our day....they had fabulous flavors our kids all had something different there was mango, root beer, chocolate brownie, strawberry margarita and a new flavor Peeps which Mackenzie really enjoyed....it was so nice to just sit outside and enjoy each others company...

we then went home and enjoyed a movie together and walked together over to Harris Teeter to return it and grab some dinner and there was more great conversation and laughter we then put the little ones to bed and the older girls and I played our favorite game of phase 10.......I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!! I wish everyday could be like this...
