Spring is a coming

Elizabeth's favorite day at school is always lunchbox day.  The prep that goes into what we are bringing for lunch is so big we spend a large part of the week just talking about it.  This was one of Anna Kate's first times so she got to bring the panda lunchbox...so cute :) 

Everything was going well until Anna Kate started to run away but Elizabeth still holds the pose while trying to wrangle little sister

I'm still working on my little project and whenever I pull out the paints, Elizabeth wants to get in on the action.  She actually stays kind of clean while painting away.  I'm trying to get her into actually painting something besides large blobs of color.  I thought maybe she would paint a St. Patricks Day peep that sweet wonderful Aunt Cindy sent (I'm sorry we haven't called yet!!!)

Oh no, this is just the "hello, I'm going to eat you" look

Since about the only time I'm able to work on the piece is when Anna Kate naps on Sunday.  So I get about  two hours a week to work on it. I finished the birds and have about a third of the flowers down.  Then I will add in the tiny butterflys and add the orange, pink and blue highlight paints...I'm so excited it's coming together pretty cute...I might not be able to put it in Elizabeth's room in the end!

Ok, so my weekly Publix shopping trip was skewed by a wine stockup that needed to happen.  Overall just the food was $21.28, with $38.63 saved.  I didn't buy that much this week mostly because we have lots of food in the house and leftovers as well.  I'm sure I'll make another trip sometime this week.  FYI the wine came in at $49!!! I sure hope that lasts a while :)

He has no pictures...but Lewis ran the Victoria Park 5K, final time 30:41...he's hoping to keep up with Mandy during the Easter Beach Run!  I'll be cheering him on this year.
