Spring Break 2017, also known as Another Staycation 2017. My kids have honestly been pretty chill this Spring Break. They haven't really been bored or begged to go somewhere every five minutes. In fact, they would rather stay home! We did venture out on Monday to the zoo in Little Rock. It was just us, and we had a good time. My trio Makena with her people: the flamingos  Every time we go to the zoo we get a picture in the bird house. It's kinda my thang! Trey the bird man! This is a wild ass...seriously. Trey loves these! And he was pretty cute too 😊 This is very mean looking African bullfrog. Animals are always fun to watch! We took our time and enjoyed the beautiful day we were given!

That was also the day of the hamburger supper at church and the day an old friend of mine passed away. That was a lot of info in one sentence. I missed because I was sick and didn't want ...

We took a field trip to Memphis TN for the Mid-South Farm and Gin Show. The kids had a good time and it was nice to be away from home! Trey sitting in a giant tractor tire Carl's nephew, Riley and some of his buddies were there too! My parents :) Saturday morning we were back to bowling! Makena had a rough day. She kept a good attitude about it, though! Carlie played a couple of good games, but bombed one.  She blamed it on having to wear her glasses! She is a lot more comfortable around the other kids...now that we only have two weeks left! T-Man did great this week. He had his own lane and I think that helped. Somehow I always end up riding home with the girls. Carl and Trey had some outside work to do at the church, so they hurried home and the girls and I grabbed some lunch and did a little shopping. Saturday afternoon we made a quick decision to go fishing. No, it wasn't really warm enough for shorts and s...
