Wine Tasting - Mexico - Easter - Sunshine - SNOW - Sunbathing - Rats

Last weekend we went to the Wine Tasting Extravaganza.  We had such a great time and the food and wine were DELICIOUS!!  :)  There were eight stations with food and wine pairings and they nailed it!!!  Seriously, scrumptious!

Several weeks ago now, we went to "Mexico" to celebrate the boys' birthdays.  Amy hosted us at her house and we turned the hear up and wore our summer clothes.  It was super fun!  And it was wonderful to pretend that it was nice weather!  We are STILL having snow!  Brr!! 
Yes, Erin is driving...but luckily the speed limit is only 30 mph

My eggs - Josh gave me the "winning egg" idea for the cracked chicky...we didn't win, but we made the Top 5!
 




Check out those sunglasses!!  That means SUNSHINE!!  :)  woot woot!

This is my poor Gertie on April 10th - still snowing and cold


Stopped to enjoy the sunshine on the walk home from school - gotta get the Vitamin D somehow :)

Hi Foxy Loxie
Last Friday, Erin came into my classroom to tell me that they "caught" an enormous rat in the computer lady's office...EWWWWW!!!!!

Sorry, again, for being SO behind on my blog....it's been a VERY busy month.  Doesn't even seem like I've had a chance to take a breath.  But I'll try to do better!
Happy Monday!
Love, Am

    1. I know!! I'm lost without them!! I let a friend borrow them on a walk, and I never got them back. I'm hoping they will find their way back to me! :)

  2. What a great post! Man...you HAVE been busy! Your trip to 'Mexico' looked so fun! Maybe we should think about doing something like that here in January. The Easter egg hunt in the snow (although cold) looked like fun,too! (Dad didn't want to decorate eggs...ha!ha! ....like I even asked him.) Love the sunshine photos!!! Bet that feels so GOOD on your face. And I love the fox photo. How neat to see them so often!!! Not so crazy for the rat photo, tho. :-) Countin' the days, My Sweet, ....and June 4th won't come soon enough for us! Can't wait to HUG you! Love ya!!!

  3. I can see how bored you are up there, poor thing, with nothing to do, reduced to catching rats for entertainment, ha ha. Glad you are with friends and thriving!
