Quinn likes to be independent.  He's a big fan of getting his own water into his water bottle.  The downside is that it doesn't really hold his attention all that well while he's waiting for it to fill.  We usually end up with a nice puddle of water under the water cooler and Quinn soaking wet.  I caught him today as he was realizing that he over filled.  He's getting smarter though...He's starting to drink it before he moves it from the holder!

So much rain and busy weekends isn't leaving our yard in the best shape.  It truly looks as if we are growing a dandelion field.  And doing a great job of it too.  My little friend here hopped from plant to plant trying to help me out.  It didn't really help, but he was cute doing it!

Murphy dog is very easily annoyed.  This cat likes to see just how far he can push Murphy.  He will sit on these rocks during the week and just stare into the house.  I watched him go from the rocks, to the play set, just kinda watching.  Poor Murphy!!

Mother's Day is a rough day for me.  Even though it's been 9 years, I think losing my mom so close to Mother's Day just really makes it harder to heal.  I'm not sure I'll ever heal, but each year, the joy that my kids bring into my life makes it a bit more manageable. 
This year we decided to take a trip to Quabbin and tour the grounds.  It was a great day for a hike and we loved everything about the area.  After we hit the inlaws for dinner.  Just a perfect day.  My gift doesn't arrive until next Sunday, the kids are getting portraits done at a new studio.  I can't wait!  Hopefully someone other than me will get the kids to all look at the same time with smiles!

Ahhh last day here.  Leaving and heading back to reality isn't fun at all.  I've already started the countdown to next year.   Less than a year to go.  See you real soon Mickey!!

Getting the kids out of the pool is turning into a big issue.  The weather has been in the high 80's all week with not a cloud or rain drop in the sky.  I think we all decided that next year, we'll be doing a park free vacation.  There's so many things around that the kids want to try, but after spending the prices for the tickets, its hard to see it all.

The boys hit the links today so that left Loren, Quinn and Memere and I to our own devices at Epcot.  We tried new restaurants, new rides and really enjoyed the butterfly exhibits.  Loren decided to try face painting and was a beautiful water fairy for the remainder of the day!
