My paprika is hotter than yours

I got a pedicure today (thanks to a generous Christmas gift from a student) and that was the name of the polish.

 Ignore the wonky sandal tan!

You know you are married to an Italian when...

You have a separate mill for fennel that stays on the table at all times. LOL

Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's Day. It was a great day from start to finish!

I slept in until 8:15. Yes that's late for me. Then I came downstairs to an unloaded dishwasher and breakfast on the table. Even my morning tea was ready. 

Dan asked Nick what I wanted with my english muffin and he said "Cheese and raisins."

 Dan and Nicholas picked out some annuals for my pots for the front porch and deck. It was too cold to plant them this weekend but I am going to tackle that on the upcoming long weekend. 

 Being a Mom is the best job ever! Love you Nicholas

A bowl of water

Nicholas doesn't need much to be entertained. Since the weather has been so nice, I thought I would give him a bowl of water and a paintbrush and see what he decided to do with it.

Grabbing water with my hand is faster than the brush

Water dumped

No surprise there!

Ps: He's sporting the new hat that I picked up for him at Bonnie Togs. I couldn't resist scuba diving monkeys!

April's over?

Spring has arrived!

What did our April look like?

• We enjoyed taking Nick to Soccer Tots. He has really come out of his shell and plays hard and then naps long! We had lunch with Cooper and his parents a few times afterwards.
• We had a few board game nights with friends.
• We met H & R's beautiful new boy! I miss baby snuggles.
• I worked away at my course for work. I am really enjoying it! 
• We had a few outdoor/indoor soccer practices.
• Dan built a wine rack for above our cupboards
• We went to our monthly playdate at Cooper's house.
• We had dinner at a friend's place
• We enjoyed the nice weather (when it happened) and got the yard ready for Spring.
• We went to our adorable God Daughter's 1st birthday bash!
• We filed our taxes (I know not exciting)
• We bought a tablet and a Kindle... wow two gadgets in one month!
