Project 365: Week 20

I hope you will bear with me right now through the design changes here. I've been sick of my old layout for quite some time. So I finally decided to get to work on it, but it often takes time and effort to customize things. So until the dust settles...  ;)

Here's my week:

Mother's Day

This is a dumb ol' cell phone pic (actually, there are quite a few this week), but I just couldn't resist posting this one. Gabe's looking mighty dapper this morning. I wanted my handsome boys dressed up for me today. ;)

After naps we all went shopping for a few clothing items for me. (Happy Mother's Day!!!) But it seems that the little boys found themselves something as well.

And that night after supper, Gabriel saw some spots **cough, sputter, cough** on our kitchen floor and just went and grabbed a rag and started wiping them up. No one told him to! I gushed and gushed and told him that was one of the best Mother's Day presents ever!

Had to pick up a few things from Wal-Mart late tonight and while standing in line, saw this:

I just had to take a picture, because...for real?! 

Also, just had to share this photo I found on Paul's phone. This is the sort of thing that went on in the Book Room during all our tornado warnings a couple of weeks ago.

iPhones do help pass the time, though.

Today, in case you missed it, was "Sister's Day." 

Indeed it was. 

See?

Yah. It's a loverly, loverly day. One thing it definitely means is that there will be pink ribbon strung all over your house. It's really quite fascinating.

And not just in one room either! You get miles and miles of pink ribbon! Okay. Not miles and miles maybe, but square feet and square feet of it.

Tonight we were all in the living room together, singing and discussing things, when Atticus suddenly crawled over to Saylor and sat in her lap. Which. she. ate up.

Paul took JUST the big kids to court with him this afternoon. (Even I've never been to court with him!) Always a treat to see Daddy in action.

Not the best pic, but I wanted them to have something to remember it by.

Our sweet and lovely (and single!!!) friend kept the younger kiddos tonight. They LOVE to hear her read stories!!

While they were having a good time, Paul and I took Noah out on a date. He even got to choose the restaurant. I had to sneak a picture, but he caught me!

Then we went "looking" at a newer toy store here in town, bought him a book, stopped at Best Buy to play the giant iPhone, and then took him for ice cream. He said it was the best night ever.

And, oh! At dinner I spilled sauce on my white shirt. Isn't it always the white shirt that gets it?? Paul laughed at me the whole night because it was so obvious. See?

He said it reminded him of this:

Today we got up ur-ligh in the morning to make our food runs. Got some good deals at Farmer's Market.

It was an all-around nice family day. No obligations. Just fun.

And that's 20 weeks. How did 20 weeks happen already?! I mean, the half-way mark is right around the corner! I'm linked up at Sara's for Project 365. Over and out.
