this will be a short blog post since i'm in the midst of cooking dinner - tilapia, homemade wheat bread, fresh lemony green beans, spinach salad, oh, and new potatoes. kind of a springy dinner to go along with this springy weather.

i took the kids hiking at barton creek greenbelt yesterday afternoon after we finished schooling. we didn't stay out there too long since the sun was starting to sink behind the hills and we were getting cold and hungry. i took the kids out for dinner since Brian was going to a deacons' meeting and dinner would be provided. since he'd be out late, i tried to make the evening  fun by letting the kids have a movie night even though it was a school night. after picking up a few dvds at the library, we came home, made a fire in the fireplace, popped popcorn, and watched Monsters, Inc.

Hazel actually slept in her pack-n-play for half the night. hurray for progress! she's also making progress in her disposition. she sits and smiles now, even if she isn't being held.

after we finished up school today, i took the kids over to Mueller and we walked the two mile loop. the weather was so delicious i could've eaten it. sadly it will all change tonight when we get another cold front.

here's today's photo
