April Little Things

Let's look at a big hodge podge of pictures from my phone that never made it to the blog. Up there .. Maddie girl is eating naked after a verryyy messy spaghetti night. 

And sporting some fake nails and a tattoo from Auntie Kell after a good bath! 

Random little dinner date with the Meisers. These girls are going to be trouble growing up together! They are going to the same school next year, and we are all SO excited! 

One morning I was determined to not only go get an acai bowl (been craving those since California) but I was also determined to walk the four plus miles there and back. I started my walk and about half a mile in it started raining.. 

Did we turn around? NOPE. I just started running and oh my goodness.. it felt SO GOOD! I ended up running all the way there.. 

And well of course there was nothing left to do but to run back after we ate! Over 4 miles I ran.. at 7 months pregnant.. after not running in like a year. It felt SO GOOD. Holy endorphins. 

I could barely walk for three days after that.. but I'll never forget that rainy morning with AJ and Maddie running with me in the rain with that big ole belly. 

We put our dry cleaning in a bag and it is picked up each week and delivered back to our house. Somehow AJ's pajama pants got in there and they came back nice and starched.. ha! 

Random nap time snuggles with my girl... 

Masters Sunday curled up on our couch with my newly hung lights and ferns. 

Molly's bark box this month was Shakespeare theme and I haven't laughed so much in my life at this pup! The creators of that box are good.

Man parenting is sooo much easier when it is nice outside. Every single day we are out in the backyard.. a lot of times a ton of other neighborhood kids are there too keeping MJ entertained! 

She put these boots on and declared herself a "farmer mermaid" -- she also says she is going to grow pineapples, strawberries and ice cream on her farm, haha! 

We celebrated AJ's birthday a day early since we had a date on his actual birthday :) 

With this chickadee insisting on braids so often, my braid game has gotten goooood! 

Ready for date night with Age and sporting some Grace Ann Designs earrings! 

Mocktail for me and bourbon for Age. Love this man of mine.. he is so easy to celebrate.

Pamela's brother was in from Connecticut, so alllll the Pryor cousins got to play! So many kiddos that look alike, ha! 

Maddie Jane had a precious little egg hunt at her school. I am so thankful I can work part time and be able to do these things with her! 

This is her bestie Sage.. according to their teachers, they are inseparable! 

Random pregnancy pic.. I think around 28 weeks. He is BIG and I seriously don't know where it's going to all go.. 

It got up in the 80s, so I snagged this little pool for our backyard. Maddie Jane and Clara play allllll the time. And let me tell ya.. two is so much easier than one. 

We had to move the ferns to big pots on the ground because they were getting so stinkin huge. And I rescued these little hanging baskets from the clearance aisle at Lowes. Happy to report they are alive and thriving! 

Also added one more chair, a pouf, and some succulents/aloe to the deck. I LOVE being a plant lady during the summer.

Maddie Jane was playing dress up over at Clara's house and got this pic from the sitter while I was out running errands. Have I mentioned how much I love our neighborhood?? 

Right before I took this pic Maddie Jane said, "Mommy sit down.. we need to talk!" This girl neverrrr stops talking and I never know what is going to come out of her mouth! 

Naps with baby brother! 

Another date night! (Guys date your spouse.. it is SO important and I truly believe one of the most important parts to a happy marriage!) Also. Earrings! Check out Grace Ann Designs HERE.

My desires for date night: Hobby Lobby and Krispy Kreme. And in between the two I just Yelped a random sushi place. Which turned out soooo good. Can't wait to go back and get the real deal! 

Next morning with Farmer Maddie Mermaid.. just soaking up the absolutely perfect weather! 

I had to capture this rare occurrence where we were out to lunch and she sat and colored quietly... ha! 

And ending this big ole April post with my favorite pup. Can you tell we are practically living outside!? Enjoying every single minute of this mild North Carolina spring before it's in the 90s!
