with the schedule mayhem caused by daylight savings, we have been trying to spend some extra time outdoors in the evenings. the kids are rocking the sandbox and we've done many block-walks, stopping to smell basically every flower on the way and admire every single rock (aka crystals).
on good friday, the kids' school was closed, so we drove to marble falls and hit up sweet berry farms, a local attraction where you can pick your own produce and frolic about. there are goats to pet/feed/gawk at and lots of strawberry items to consume. the kids favored the strawberry popsicles, obviously. we will definitely be back soon for blackberry picking.
easter was kind of rainy and yucky outside, but we made the most of it. i took basically zero pictures, though. the kids slept in (until right after 8!!), so when we got up, we tore through the easter bunny's wares, then got dressed and headed to a 9am church service at a church right around the corner. i'd never been to a methodist service, but it was lovely. the church is super progressive and laid back - i liked it a lot. emme was amazing during the service, but hollis wanted to narrate many things: "i see that man with a horn, mama." "i'm ready go outside, mama." "i want to go play at the park!"...so, he and i spent a nice chunk of time in the cry room (really nice other parents, good toys for kids). afterwards, we went to lucy's fried chicken for brunch. it was good but heavy. back at home, kids stripped out of their "nice" clothes immediately and i made tom kha and a thai chopped salad for dinner with some old friends that night. it was a really good day.
other than that, i don't really think there's been anything of note happening. i need to write about the kids individually - what they're into these days, etc. time seems to be moving along way faster than i'm comfortable with, and i can't seem to get my footing lately.
