This week at the Bailey's...

Today marks the start of SPRING BREAK!

I'm not one of those Mom's who dreads breaks from school with their kids, I look forward to it as much as Ella does!

{poor Ella scratched her head last night}

{she wanted me to take a picture of her with her little toy cat and friend at school gave her in a trade}

This is how my week started though...
I was making some little stuffed lambs for Ella for Easter {didn't turn out quite like I had hoped} and was using rice to weight down the bottoms.
Well Jack decided that he was going to help me.

Thankfully I was able to get all of the rice out of my machine!

The other night I couldn't find Jack- he wasn't in his bed!
I started freaking out, until I went into Ella's room and there he was.
Cuddled up with his sissy.
He loves her more then anything in the world, even more then his mama and dadda sometimes!
He misses her so much while she's at school, he asks me over and over throughout the day "go get Ella?"
He's lonely, anyone want to start a playgroup or know of one!?

Saturday morning the kids had fun putting on a puppet show for me!

A couple of days ago I couldn't find Jack anywhere.

I looked everywhere, I was starting to go into panic mode when I came out of my closet and heard a little laugh.

He was hiding behind all of the big pillows on my bed!

Little stinker!

Last night we had some friends over for marshmallow roasting!

Jack was so good. He just hung out most of the time, just watching.

When he did roast a marshmallow he concentrated super hard and actually did a great job, until right at the end, when it caught on fire.

I should have taken more pictures!

Thank you Scott's and Jones' we had such a blast with all of you guys!!

We have to have a game night SOON!!!!

Some of his favorite things

Jack does not like clothes.

He never has.

Lately it's become even worse.

All winter no matter how chilly it is, he doesn't like to wear anything.

He's figured out that he can keep warm by playing in the sunlight coming though his window.

It's adorable!

I told him we should get some clothes on him, he ran and pretended to go to sleep. Yeah right.

He then decided that he wanted me to take pictures of every toy car he owns.

That would have taken days.. but I did take a couple.

He's such a sweet little man, even if he pulls my hair and makes me sew through my fingernail.

It hurts to type.

Today 1st grader, tomorrow- model

So the other day I found this jacket on clearance at old navy, I thought it was so cute that I had to get it.. and save it for this fall/winter of course.

But Ella saw it in her closet and just loved it so much.

It's kind of chilly enough for her to wear a light jacket in the mornings still.

So I let her wear it, you can see it doesn't fit, we had to roll up the sleeves three times!

She didn't care. She thought she looked pretty cute, cute enough to warrant some pictures.

She's such a HAM!

My sweet Belly-bug!

Can't you just see her in the sears catalog or something in these last two shots?

Nice day for a bike ride

After a day of driving all over kingdom come {Many doctors appointments, although things are looking much better in that department} we were able to spend a little time together as a family outside. The kids love being outside! It's been so hard not having a nice backyard for them to play in. We're working on it though and hope that it will be ready for them soon.

Ella still wants her training wheels. She's much to chicken to try without them.

Seems to me like she needs some quality Daddy time to figure it out.

I can feel the heat coming. Not looking forward to the 115 degree summer... at all.

So we better spend as much time having fun outside now, before it's so hot we melt.
