Ahhh....spring!

What a beautiful day today! The kids were outside all evening and the toys...looked like every garage in the cul de sac exploded! They love it though and it's so good for them to be outside instead of cooped up in here with me yelling at them.

I realize with every passing day how big my kids are getting. First of all, Carter is almost as tall as me and we can literally share shoes now! Maggie is all legs and growing like a weed. And they act so grown up, too. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I want to freeze time. Can't do that, so I'll enjoy every day as they grow.

I do have to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Maggie likes to shop with me. We go to the mall and she says, "Mom, this would look so cute on you!" HA! Nothing like a sweet six year old to build my confidence!

Our pastor commented this past Sunday that we really have great kids...which I know...but it's always nice to hear someone ELSE say it!!

After a long struggle with homework last night, things were better tonight. Carter seemed more relaxed and willing to work. Last night on the other hand...whew...glad it's over. It's funny how he can be so relaxed and funny one minute and just hacked off at the world the next. It's actually a little scary, and I try not to think of his teen years to come...

Maggie went home with Ellison after school. I went over late in the evening and watched them "perform" the show that they had put together. So cute! Maggie has a lot of confidence in herself. I love that! And she's so funny. Tonight before she went to bed, Frank said "Give me a hug and a kiss." She put her fingers in an "O" and said, "Kiss." Then she make an "X" with her arms and said, "Hug. 'Night." She knows she's funny...which makes it even funnier!

Sure do love those kids!
