Sunday afternoon + rain = naptime!  :)  Have a great long weekend, friends!

Why, Hello There Friday!

It seems as if Fridays are the only days I get a post completed anymore!  Tis the season!  Life has been full and good!  Spring is finally here which means outside time for all of us.  I've started Couch to 5k again and have made it to jogging half the time.  Whew!  I don't know how you regular runners do it.  I do not enjoy running.  But, I want to exercise 1. because I need it and I'm not no spring chicken anymore :) and 2. because I secretly dream of having a body like this chick.  I'm sure she does way more than run a 5k.  Plus, she's probably like 5'2", but whatevs.  It's motivating me right now.

 

Spring also means I get to spend a few nights a week at the ball field.  Coco is turning into quite the little player.  I am confessing that I enjoy watching him play baseball more than watching volleyball.  Gasp!  I know, I know.  It's craziness!  Plus, Coco's coach is a hottie.  I have a weakness for seeing him on the field and always have!  He is SUCH a good coach to those boys.  They are so lucky to have someone as knowledgeable as him and one that realizes they are 7 and not 17!



My little social butterfly spent about 10 min. with me at last night's game before charming a teenage girl and a girl from his class into playing.  Plus, he has figured out that baseball games mean lots of junk food.  Last night he had: a red Powerade, a bag of cookies, a laffy taffy stick, a bag of Cheezits, and a blue Gatorade.  I only got him the first two things and they others were given to him!  And we were only there an hour!

You may have noticed that someone's curls are not hanging out of his cap any more.  :(  He wanted, and got, a big boy cut.  He looks so old!



One reason my nights have been so full is that I've been working on my new "job" as an Ambassador for Noonday.  It is hard to view it as a job because it is so fun!  I love learning about the company, the people we are impacting, making displays for the gorgeous jewelry, and making steps to grow my business!  I've been promoting a lot using social media.  You can follow me on Instagram at @mixmama. :)  By the way, the May and June hostess incentives are fab.u.lous!  I would love to share more with you about Noonday and help get Noonday into your hands!  Check out my site at saramixon.noondaycollection.com to learn more!




Lastly, we have some kitchen projects happenin' up in here. LOVE finished projects, but I'm very impatient and can't stand messes. Lord help me.


How was your week?

It's Friday Again

Usually I'm SO excited for Fridays, but this is the end of Spring Break, so not so excited today.  We haven't done anything this week.  Yes, a little dull, but I'm proud of myself for not spending any money!  I'm going to try to go the whole month of April.  We'll see...

Here's a look at our week!

I started collecting pretty plates, just a mix, for times when we get together with family for a meal. 


This was my first time hosting Easter dinner. Since most of the family couldn't make it to Grandma Shirley's, Grandma Shirley and Great Grandma Durgin came to our house. Shirley and Aunt Jill came to the rescue once again with providing eggs for a hunt and Easter baskets! The kids did a quick hunt in the rain.


The temps early in the week were springlike which means that Coco starts losing clothes.





Lenny went to work with Jeff on Tuesday because she flew out that afternoon, by herself :), to Mamaw and Papaw's!  She has had a ball getting all the attention and learning to crochet.  We are excited to have her back home Saturday!


After seeing Jen Hatmaker's daughter's hair on facebook and reading their hair care routine, I decided to give it a go on Baby A.  It took 25 min. but it looks awesome!  He made quite the water color paint mess while I did it, but that is ok.  Now, to figure out how I'm going to do this when school starts back up.  Get up 30 min. earlier?  Aiyaiyai.
What we did: spray sections til sopping wet with water, Shea butter from root to tip, pick out with wide toothed comb, after whole head is done finish with curl enhancer




Baby A was thrilled to have to go to Lizzy's practice with us Tuesday night.  I was so surprised and we were both happy to see a net set up that was just his size!  He played for the whole 2 hours!  I'm thinking some volleyball equipment is in order for his 4th birthday!

We had the most low key spring break.  But, it was great just to hunker down at home and not have much of an agenda.  I love slow mornings and the morning sunshine streaming in the windows.  It is always dark when I leave during the week.  Summer is just around the corner!  Thank goodness!

Wow!  It's Friday again?

I am so happy about today!  The rest of the school year flies after spring break.  I've made it!  Bring on the warm weather (although I see rain and cold are still in our forecast for another week), baseball, and a new adventure-which I will share with you soon!

With all the busy, I was glad to get some time today to slow down and redirect my focus.  This post by Missy was what I needed.  I'm also looking forward to spending the evening at church with my people.

Apparently, I didn't get out my camera much this week.  But, I hope you enjoy the shots I did take!


Lizzy and I spent all.day.long at a tournament Saturday. We got home at midnight. But, it wasn't all bad. They won their pool and ended up finishing 3rd. AND we met Aunt KeeKee and Uncle Jeff for a late dinner afterwards.
I can't resist pancakes for lunch at school. Weak I know.
Even though these last two pictures don't show it, I have been good with my food choices this week! We were thrilled to get a package this week from Mamaw with a chocolate egg in it! All the way from Muncie, Indiana! This is the best chocolate ever! I try to encourage the kids to eat the shell so I get the inside chocolates! Jeff uses extreme will power and doesn't touch any of it. His loss and more for me! Lenny had an orthodontist check up. Oh, how I remember my time in the orthodontist chair. Don't you? We had Coco's parent teacher conference this week. This picture was outside of the classroom and explains a lot about our little boy! The eyebrow. Oh my. He has made such gains this school year, but there are still gaps that we need to fill. :( It is hard. He and we were blessed to have an awesome teacher this year who is going above and beyond to try to figure our sweet boy out and set him up for success. I would certainly appreciate your prayers that he will have the right teacher next year. It is going to be key. Baby A's hair is getting long. We haven't cut it in 10 months! I think it still looks great!
I love the light in our bathroom in the evenings. Delish.  And I think Baby A needs more personality.  Jeesh.  This kid knows he's the bomb diggity!

I doubt that you are as excited as I am about the upcoming week (unless of course you are teacher too and have spring break!), but I hope it is a great one anyway!

TGIF party people!  Although, my weekends are not any less busy than my weeks.  'Tis the season!  I'm sure 10 yrs down the road I'll miss it.

Anywho!  I'm linking up with Jeannett over at Life Rearranged.  How was your week?  Are you an Instagrammer?  Follow along via MixMama.

Baby A stayed entertained on our trip to Alabama by playing with Lizzy's hair.  

Coco being silly when we stopped for dinner on the road.

Look at that!  We had SUCH a gorgeous day on campus and I'm so excited for Liz and her college search!

While Liz sat in a physics class, we hung with the littles in the student center.  Baby A charmed (surprise, surprise) the ladies working in the food court and got a hat and a muffin out of it!  Jeff informed them that they had started something as we had two more around the corner!

The gorgeous brick streets add to the charm of this beautiful campus!  I don't see how these two will stand being separated in two years.  :(

Lenny played this character, "the old man with a beard" for a few hours the other night.  She would appear as herself, walk through the house, and reappear as this guy.  She had a whole story going on and actually had Coco believing there was an old man somewhere!  Crazy and I just LOVE her imagination!

Time for some Flea Market Flip!  Have you watched it on HGTV?  I'm intrigued and I do love some antiques!
