What's Up Wednesday

What we're eating this week: 

We tried two new recipes this week and loved them both!
Nacho Soup
Korean Beef Tacos

What I'm reminiscing about:

Our trip to Disneyland and all of our spring break fun!

What I'm loving:  
I love Jack's school work (and the fact that I feel zero guilt throwing it all away after I take pictures of it ;) This one was from a while ago, but I love that he refers to the park behind us as "his park." :)

I also love what he wrote about Kate :)

What we've been up to:
We had a fun second week of spring break at home! Isaac and Elizabeth came down to visit while my parents are in Italy and we had so much fun! I am a HUGE fan of Jack's modified year round schedule (besides starting school the last week of July) but this spring break was such a tease for summer! I can't wait to have Jack home all day again! For the most part, he makes my life easier being home and entertaining David :)
Some spring break week 2 pics:
Car Wash - monarch butterflies rained on us on the drive home from California! I had heard it was the butterfly migration in California and I'm afraid we killed them all!

Park play date:

Costco "helpers" :)

We ended up coming home with this tent for Saturday sports and for beach trips and apparently for playing in the living room too :)

Crafting with boxes from our recycling bin :)
We had fun with Elizabeth and Isaac! We swam, we went to Carl's pet farm, we went to KTR, and hung out at home!







What I'm dreading:

GUM!!! Kate has a gum detector and got A LOT of gum while Elizabeth was in town. It got STUCK IN HER TOES while we were driving this week and she thought it was so funny.

What I'm working on:

Trying to figure out how to fix the picture clarity on this blog. I have noticed the pictures end up blurry when I post them on blogger, but they are not blurry anywhere else. So frustrating!

What I'm excited about:

I had a quick business meeting and since it was quick, I didn't get a babysitter and just locked the kids out of my room with their screens - Jack and David surprised me and picked up the living room and made their bed! Maybe I'm not failing them in the chore department after all! haha

What I'm watching:

Still watching The Middle and James and Maddie got me hooked on Survivor. We started Season 27 (I think?... random!) and are loving it!

What I'm reading:
I didn't read any books this month but I am half way through two books and am really liking them so far!
What I've been listening to:
Taylor Swift (since Elizabeth has been in town and loves her ;)
What I'm doing this weekend: 
We have a busy "kid" weekend filled with flag football, a birthday party, and Ward activity.
What I'm looking forward to next month:
I'm taking a photography class from my friend, Elizabeth and I can't wait! I saw her on Monday while she was taking my sister's senior pictures and it got me so excited!


Bonus Question: What is your favorite Easter side dish?
Funeral potatoes!
