around here lately, we are wrapping up our school year, enjoying being outside when the weather is nice, taking fun field trips, gardening/working in the yard, and bug-hunting. since we've only been in our new house for 5 months, there isn't too much spring cleaning to do, but i did clean out our closets of outgrown clothes. and it's official, i can no longer shop in the toddler section. no more sizes with T on the end. both kids are in big kid sizes - 5 and 8! it breaks my heart a little every time i walk past the baby/toddler clothes section at Target and into the big kid section, where everything looks so grown-up. *sigh* other than that, here is what's been up around here lately...
