sunny, sneezy days

Lots of beautiful spring weather this week! Unfortunately it meant allergies for Scott and Evyn. Evyn has had seasonal allergies the last two years, but we've never seen a reaction like this before.

Tuesday morning at dance class, the instructors took the girls outside to play with the parachute.


Within 20 minutes Evyn's teacher was carrying her back inside - her poor eyes had swollen so badly she couldn't see to walk.

I think the tree they were under was some type of oak... so from now on we are steering clear of oak trees in the springtime! She was out in Scott's parent's yard Thursday, and today is again paying the price for it.



Speaking of eyes, Andrew's have started to change color. This picture doesn't capture it well, his eyes look quite brown in bright light. I'm still holding out hope that he'll get my hazel eyes, just so ONE of my kids looks a LITTLE like me :)

before the next weekend rolls around

better catch up from last weekend!

friday we cleared out the storage unit we had rented during construction.
i dropped scott & evyn off and they brought the chevelle home.




saturday, yard sale at lori & larry's house.
i'm selling 5 years worth of little girl's clothing that i'd saved, thinking we'd have another girl :)

evyn is a doting big sister - she amazes me, how well she has adapted to her new role.

it got quite warm saturday afternoon, around 90 degrees, so emily & evyn cooled off with a squirt gun battle.




and a few of andrew - just because he's adorable!
