I recently heard that today, May 23 is national turtle day. Who knew right? I find it a little funny because on my drive home yesterday I saw this tiny little turtle walking in the middle of the road. And me being the bleeding heart for animals I pulled over, ran across the road & brought him/her home with me. Like I said bleeding heart.

 In celebration of National Turtle Day Groupon is having a fundraising campaign called the American Tortoise Rescue. If you are interested in supporting this campaign click HERE to view all the details on Groupon. 

A few weeks ago the kids and I took a little trip to the local Medieval Fair. I think I may have had more fun then the kids since there was so much to take photos of and I don’t let the kids go on carnival rides. I know I am such a mean mom but they scare me so no kids on carnival rides. I won’t bombard you with all of the photos I took but I did want to share these beautiful birds they had there.

While the kids were on spring break the other week I packed up a lunch, loaded them in the car and took them to the park for a picnic and some fun. Between all the flowers, the gorgeous 70 degree weather and smiling kids that ended up playing and not eating, it was a perfect day.

The clouds seem to be such a permanent fixture these last few weeks. Some would be annoyed that it seems to dark but that’s not always the case. Today was absolutely gorgeous outside. A nice little breeze, in the low 70’s and what….oh yeah cloudy. But the clouds didn’t take away they added to the beautiful day.
Now as it’s getting a little darker and the storms rolling in I will keep thinking that even though that can bring on the rain they can also bring beauty to what would normally be a boring landscape.

Since the horrible haircuts boys haircuts I have been seeing a lot of similarities in them. I’ve never seen it before so at first it was quite shocking. Last week I walked in to check on the boys before I went to bed and as soon as I saw my youngest I immediately started to cry. It was as if I walked in to my oldests room five years ago and was looking at him sleeping. Yes I am an emotional sap, you should know this by now. It was just so much of a shock for me I kind of just stood there and stared. Then I ran and got my husband and the camera. I had to see if I was the only one who saw it or if the hubs noticed it also.

Tell me, what do you think? And can you guess who is who here?
