[Birthday Wishes]

A special Birthday wish going out to Rhianna who turned 8 years old today! You are a wonderful little girl and a Great friend!

We can't wait to celebrate at your Birthday party next weekend!

Also, Great Big Congrats going out to my BIL and his wife, whose second son was born in the early hours this morning! We are so happy for you all and welcome Baby O with lots of love.

[Mama Goose :-)]

This Mama Goose is at Caleb's daycare and every day we drive by her and she gets very angry with us.
Caleb is so intrigued by her. As soon as I pick him up from daycare he asks if I drove by the goose and can we go drive by her again!
I think that she is close to having her eggs hatch, because she is getting more hostile as the days go by. But we moms know what that's like ;-)

[a girl after my own heart...]

Madi loves to read.
You can always find her with her nose in a book.
She always has one in her hand.
Every morning before we leave the house, the last thing she grabs is her book.
She reads all the way to school, all the while ignoring me.
She begs me to take her to Chapters on a weekly basis so that she can 'just look at the books.'
And if we can't go there, she asks me to take her to the library.
She is currently saving all her money for the next book on her list.
What can I say...?
She's my daughter :-)

[A Special Friend...]

is celebrating her Birthday today. Happy Birthday to my wonderful friend, Judy.

You are a truly amazing friend and your strength inspires me.

Hope you had a wonderful day!

[my Sunday]

Colin is taking the girls and the boy to the movies this afternoon.

And I get to enjoy some alone time with my books.

Have I mentioned lately how wonderful my Husband is?

I got the picture above from here.

[prezzies for Down Under]

I finally sent my Easter presents for my wonderful nieces & nephews in Australia.

Unfortunately, I did not get pics of my cartons before I sent them as I finished them up on my lunch break at work and then whisked them away to the post office.

But they were more or less like the pics shown below. I, however, added each of their names on the outside of the cartons.

Each plastic egg is filled with treats and trinkets from Auntie Dee. I also, added some Easter grass, just for fun!

I am sure that the kids will enjoy them. I would loved to have gotten something like this when I was a kid!
