    All in a nutshell

    My Twins, Graham and Parker...  TURNED THREE YEARS OLD TODAY!!!


     HAPPY BIRTHDAY WONDERFUL BOYS!!!!





    For Moms with school age children, if  you are looking for k-12 tutoring...check this out.
    I found something interesting online.  It is a website called Study Point.
    Apparently they work with K-12 students and all of their tutoring is 1-on-1. My oldest son has ADD and I am considering this website to give him extra help. Looks great!!!!  By looking over the site. I am impressed with what they have to offer and it seems they have a good sucess rate for helping school age kids do better in school and even on big tests like PSATS, SATS and such.  Very Cool!!







    The other day my playgroup had their Easter Egg Hunt!!  Lots of fun!

    Here are some pics!!

      Easter Eggs = Science Experiment


      On Friday we had a few friends over for back yard Easter Egg Coloring!! The kids had a blast!!  We just let them go nuts with it and have a great time.  By the time everyone else was "over it", My twins decided now it was time to get Scientific with it.   They started mixing and measuring, more mixing, etc etc.   They pretty much made it all look like some really intriguing scientific experiment towards the end.  They seemed quite "busy" with it all too. Very serious faces there in the end.  Lots of concentrating.  LOL!! 










      3rd Birthday

      Graham and Parker will be 3 on April 21st. Their birthday party was yesterday. The cake was an issue though.
      I arrived at Publix at 9 am.  The cake was supposed to be ready. hmm, well they had a cake ready. The problem is. it was the wrong cake.  I was sp upset that all I saw was the red,  brown and the gray.

       I had a mild panic attack that that point.

      I saw no animals.  I saw no lush green grass and flower patches.  I only saw the the drab looking cake for a second.

      This is what the cake looked like that they tried to give me..............
      It is not that bad but to me it looks liked hell.  However this is the Publix version.
      The decorator's version of this cake was way darker, way more drab and depressing, and it looked like a sad and depressing birthday cake.
      l.

       This is the cake I ordered........we did not get this exact version of the cake but the version we did get was decent.  See photo at the top of this post for the cake we received.
      I had to spend an hour at the grocery store waiting for the replacement cake. The party did go well. Graham and Parker had a fantastic time too.  That is all that counts. I just hope Publix never messes up our cake order again. Not to be rude but the decorater they used needs to go take more decorating lessons. She is starting off with too dark of colors for one. The cake she tried to give me with the volcanoes and wrecked plane......it was so very dark and depressing looking. It was not for some depressing biurthday. It was for a Happy Birthday!!  Happy means bright colors to little kids.  I like to give bright colored things to little kids.
      It makes them, well....happy!

      Pics..........


      We started the party off with an Easter Egg Hunt!! Instead of giving all of the children a goofy bag at the end of the party. They all recieved a plastic easter basket/pail and got to go on an egg hunt. They kept the pail and whatever eggs they collected...and the prizes inside!! They LOVED it!!

















      Here are a few shots of them opening some of their awesome presents!! They loved everything!!!
      I gave them a few of mine early and they have one big one for their actual Birthday on the 21st!! Yay!!!







      Happy Birthday Guys!!  Love You!!!
