Wonderful Wednesday

Our Wednesday this week was pretty great!  It turned out to be an earlier morning than usual so we went for what was supposed to be a vigorous exercising walk for this mama, but it turned into a leisurely stroll where we made a little nature collection instead.  Go try and make a four year old walk fast.  If Hannah hadn't been in the stroller most of the time we'd STILL be out there.  I love doing nature things with my girls.  It's one of my favorite things.  Brings me a lot of happiness no matter where we are, what kind of nature we're in.  All we had on our walk was grass, leaves, and barrels out in front of the car wash with dying flowers in them.  And yet it was still beautiful to us!  (we did also find a butterfly wing!)






we pass this tree a lot.  we call this the 'bear tree' because it looks like a baby bear climbing it!

my kids are just weird sometimes



we've also been doing a lot of this.  they call it the car show and the bike show!


Then in the evening my beautiful wonderful amazing Young Women threw Eli and I a baby shower!  He was the cute little guest of honor and enjoyed being held by all the pretty ladies in attendance.  There were games, delicious food, cupcakes with surprise oreos inside.  We were so grateful for all the gifts.  It was all so cute.  Eli and I felt very special!




LOVED this hilarious toilet paper diaper game


balloons in shirts, quarters between knees, and you had to walk to your jar and drop it in.  like a pregnant woman needing to pee!  first the yw...

then their moms.  it was all hilarious to watch!


I'm so grateful to everyone for putting on this little event to celebrate my little boy.  We will always remember it!

It was a pretty great Wednesday.
