Zoo Day + Easter Egg Hunt | Weekend Fun

| Friday |

To kick off our busy weekend, we decided to take a last minute trip to the Nashville Zoo. We had my sister (Abba) and Grandmommy tag along with us. Two of the babes favorite people in the entire world!

 Heidi was having such an off day, and sometimes you just have to hug a goat. This was the highlight of her day, and probably my favorite picture I took from the day! 

This goat's face is cracking me up. I lol every time i scroll by. 

We rode all of the rides without having to wait in line for long at all. Heidi's favorite part of the zoo was visiting the cows..something she can see every. SINGLE. day?! haha. And this carousel ride.We had to go twice! 

Thomas was in love with the train ride! He also tried climbing into the sheep pin. Needless to say they love the farm animals most of all! 

| Saturday |

On Saturday we had our first Easter egg hunt of the season, and our very first Easter bunny sighting, EVER.. you can tell the kids weren't the fondest of the Easter bunny, and he kind of looks a bit suspicious anyways.. haha But the rain didn't stop the kids from having a fun "indoor" egg hunt.

This boy jumped right into the fun. He didn't hold back when it came to hunting those eggs. 

He must have made up for his lack of hunting last year. Remember here when he spent his first Easter sick, at home with Mama?! Well he definitely made up for it this year. 

One egg hunt down one to go!

+ Happy Easter week, everyone.

diy project | a Day with Daddy

This Daddy surprised us and took a day off this past week. You can already tell we had a project planned by the looks of all that orange! Of course the little ones tagged along and did so well! It's hard for me to believe we are entering a (somewhat) easier stage, where we don't have to pack nearly as much in the diaper bag. We can forget the stroller, and we find ourselves not caring so much about a strict schedule for them. If they don't nap they just go to bed a bit earlier. They are just acting so much bigger everyday. 

It seems like my baby Thomas just woke up one morning, and all of a sudden looks like a little boy.. No more baby! It happens so fast! I mean just look at him following his Daddy around in the store? My Mama heart just melts! 

Also, my little Heidi completely graduated from her sweet crib this week to a full size big girl bed (that's an entirely different blog post).. What a hard pill to swallow! She is doing so well, which makes it easier on her Daddy and Mama. 

Onto our project! This has been on the back burner since we moved into the new house. It wasn't something that needed to be done right away. Just an interior door off of the laundry room, that happens to be in the front portion of the house. So actually YES, it needed to be done stat. because one word. LAUNDRY! We need to be able to hide all that mess. We decided on a functional sliding barn door. We contemplated just buying a pre-made one and staining it.

 Instead, it turns out my man is handy and can build almost anything. Soo, to the lumber store we went! 

Handsome boy ready for family lunch date. Eating makes him happy. When he hears dinner he comes running. Like seriously, RUNNING!

Cuddling my babies all through the weekend.
We had a fun visit with good friends on Friday night.
On Saturday we had another family "homemade PIZZA" night with my parents, sister, brother and his family. The weekend had them wiped out. 

Captain America can sleep on his Mama any day. Love this boy of mine!

 Her new "cheese" is everything!

 He most definitely gets his squinty eyes from his Mama! 

P.S. This is the room the barn door will be in. John should be installing it today. It's ready to go up! Blog post soon on how perfect it turned out! 

Have a great Monday everyone.

brunch and a haircut | weekend life

After another week of rainy, cold weather, Friday greeted us with sunshine and sixty degrees. Out and about we went. Our first stop was for brunch at Meridee's with family. 

Next was a haircut for brother boy. ( pure torture)

He was not a happy camper. 

Then we snuggled in for the evening on Friday. Homemade banana bread and early bedtime was just what we all needed. 

Heidi approved. (It was yuum)

Saturday came and we headed to Opry Mills mall. The men did their thing at Bass Pro, while the kids skipped around looking at the fish, bears, deer and every other wildlife animal plastered on the walls.  Needless to say, the kids fell in love with that place and danced around the entire time. My mom and I got a pretty great workout. We did little to no shopping because, ya know...KIDS! 

I think this went on his 2nd birthday wish list. 

Sunday is already here and the babies are tuckered out from a morning at church. 

It's now nap time while Mama is playing catch up on all the house things.

 I hope everyone has a great week!
