ELEVEN

On Monday we got boba and then headed to a park to meet up with some friends.

2025 week eleven

Monday evening, Keegan got to join Theo at baseball practice.

While the boys were at baseball, Matt took the girls to a creek to get wet and muddy and become swamp girls.

Walking to a park with another group of friends. We had eight kids at our house that day. 

Five kids and the two adults all enjoy their dinner so much more when the kids are locked outside -I mean offered dinner al fresco. 

Thursday morning hike with another group of friends around LLELA.

It was a beautiful day even if Texas hasn't put on any spring glory yet. 

On Friday, the cutest little Gnome girl came to visit me. 

She brought her sweet brother and her cousin as well.

She wished she could live with the chickens. Brother was so stressed when she tried to climb the ramp into the coop. She had no fear and had she been able to fit through the door, we would have had to pull her out of the nesting box.

The big kids were ignoring the show stopper of a spring day outside and played a board game inside instead.

It was such a glorious week of weather for our spring break.

The cousins' parents came back and we had them over for an early St. Patricks day dinner. We always serve all the classics: corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, soda bread, and my very favorite dessert that I only make once a year, Sticky Toffee Pudding. It was all glorious.
