Here's the rewind of last week!

Monday~A little girl's stained feet are a sure sign of a good time outside!

Tuesday~More pretty flowers!

Thursday~A nice little evening jump on the trampoline before bed....

Friday~We headed over to grandma and grandpa's house for a geology lesson and were greeted by this little guy.

Saturday~Wrestling....need I say more...

Sunday~No one really wanted to cooperate for pictures so I had to settle for the girl with a mouth full of bread.

Have an eventfully positive week!

Earth Day is approaching!

With Earth Day approaching i felt the need to look up information and activities to do with the wee ones that really matter. Planting a tree crossed my mind, but that's something we try to do every year. I really wanted to talk to them this year about global warming, and what we can do to try to protect our earth. I found the following web sites to help us on our way:

Organic Farming Activity Book

kids for saving earth

Earth Force

epa.gov/earthday/

We started today learning about the importance of organic farming, as well as the importance of supporting our local organic farmers! We discussed agricultural contaminants and the effects that they are having on our environment. Organic Farming benefits are immeasurable.

The celebration of Earth Day gives all off us the opportunity to share with our young ones about the importance of doing our part to help in the quest for a healthier earth for everyone's future. It also helps everyone to remember that it takes everyone to make this world a better place!

Sunday!

I realized that I didn't post Sundays picture from last week! So here it is....

Sunday.............................

366 Days of Pictures in 2012!-Days100-106

            Wow! More than 100 days have already passed us by in 2012! Time sure is flying! We have definitely already had a very busy 2012. I feel that I haven't dedicated near enough time to my blog, however I have kept up with taking a picture a day!

            The spring is always a great time for floral pictures. This week has certainly brought me many vegetation shot opportunities.

.                                 Monday~My touch of Hawaii right in my dining room....

Tuesday~My hubby is the one with the green thumb at our house. All flowers can thank him for their survival here.

Wednesday~Some people don't like dandelions. I look at them as a welcome friend, come back from a long winter trip. Their presence is a sure sign of spring.

Thursday~Well you can't have the dandelion without the dandelion seed head!

Friday was zoo school day. It was a perfect sunny day to spend at the zoo with two of my girls (the boy was there too, just not in this shot). Embracing the love in this shot!

Every Saturday this time of year is spent, in most part, watching wrestling in a gym.  No matter how many times I tell the boy not to watch me while he's wrestling sometimes he just can't resist, especially when a camera is involved. What a ham!

Hope your week was great too! Happy spring!

Last week's pictures were somewhat of a hodgepodge that requires little explanation. Between schoolwork, activities, preparation for Easter, and the boys being home from college, the shots that I took were more about trying to get a good shot of something than focusing on anything in particular. 

Monday~The curious cat.

Tuesdays are wrestling days.

Wednesday, which is normally dance day, we got to take a break. The girl used this time for a new hair do.

Thursday~We're still anticipating the arrival of our Praying Mantis babies.

Friday, although somewhat cool was a very sun shining beautiful day.

Saturday brought much outdoor playtime. The tuckered "old lady" decides to take a nap after a lot of running after the wee ones.

Sunday brings us to Easter...It was hard to decide which picture to use for this day. How can you resist the innocence of a toddler enjoying their first real egg coloring. 

Hope everyone's Easter was beautiful and full of life!

The past week was a little cooler than it's been, but I do believe still warmer than normal for this time of year. Monday I wanted to get out and take pictures of the beautiful blossoms on our ornamental peach tree in our front yard before the threatened frost came and did them in. I'm not the green thumb in the family, that would be the hubby. I think the blossoms still look like they're hanging in there, he says it's too soon to tell what damage the frost has done to the plants.

Tuesday takes us to gymnastics. After class the kids get to jump on the trampoline into a pit. The girl takes full advantage of the opportunity.

Wednesday is dance night. The girl does both ballet and jazz. She loves to dance. After dance the kids had their last day of AWANA for the season. When we got home the girl was so tuckered I could barely get her up the stairs to bed.

Thursday's picture comes from not having taken a picture all day, seeing my opportunity and taking it! Orange Cat often makes a good model cat.

Friday brought some drip drip drop little April, well almost April showers. I couldn't resist trying to get a drip drop shot.

Saturday was spent how many of our Saturdays are spent, at a wrestling tournament. It being our home tournament I got to not only watch the little boy wrestle, and take first place I might add, I also was able to watch the older boy referee. Having been a wrestler himself he's very supportive of his little brother. As a matter of fact, both older boys come out from college to watch their little brother wrestle quite often!

Sunday we went to a birthday party for a 3 year old. All three boys and 2 of my girls went with me. The weather was nice enough to get back outside. It was pretty fun watching the "young adults" enjoying the coloring books and crayons while the younger kids weren't around.

Off to a new week and new adventures!

I know I'm late posting...but better late than never, right?

Last week was beautifully filled with sunshine and blue skies! I just love nice weather! It brings so many photo opportunities...as well as much needed vitamin D!

Monday, a shot of a very tired boy after a long day of lessons, martial arts, drama, and hangin with mom while the girl was at girl scouts. 

Tuesday~It was beautiful to sit out on the patio and watch all of the birds frolicking at the tree tops, trying to show off for one another no doubt. To follow this weeks theme, they are truly springing into life out here!

More birds playing on Wednesday made the Doctor want to join them...either that or eat them.

Thursday brought much enjoyable adult time to a normally child filled life for me :) 

Friday took us (the hubby, the boy, and I) out to a hotel to anticipate the state wrestling tournament. The boy put his anxieties at bay by playing in the hotel pool.

Saturday~Bring on the state tournament...ready or not...Being one of the top wrestlers in the entire state is pretty cool!

Sunday brought us back home to the girl, the grandbaby, and more outdoor fun!

We're buckling down for a chillier week!

It has been an absolutely beautiful, and busy week here at Casa Chaos! 

Monday was enjoyed spending time with the granbaby! Gotta love her personality. Everyday she seems to change and become more her own person.

Tuesday...was a gorgeous day, not to be spent inside for long...Then gymnastics, wrestling, and a storm brought us back in doors.

Wednesday, the princess turned 7! The hubby and I took her out to her favorite restaurant for dinner and of course dessert!

Thursday, martial arts, guitar, drama, wrestling, then more wrestling practice with Tinker Bell. 

Friday brought us to the real birthday celebration for the girl. Her slumber party with a few of her close friends. 

Saturday...Actually one of my older son's birthdays, but unfortunately with him being away at college we'll have to wait to celebrate the leprechaun's special day.

So we went to a bbq with friends and spent more needed vitamin D time in the sun!

With the weather staying so nice, it only seemed fitting to end the week off with a ride in the canoe! 

Now off to another week with new adventures!
