bits and pieces

This past weekend we headed to Dorr on Saturday to celebrate Tony and Mom Burgess' birthdays. Us girls headed to Holland to hit up TJMaxx and Old Navy with all the kids and had lunch at Russ'. Later in the day headed to my new favorite store, Aldi's to get a few things. If you do not shop here, you need to! For a family especially with kids, you save a ton. Milk is only $1.79, cereal under $2 (made by post), and cheap produce. I can stock my pantry for around $70! We then headed back to the parents' house for some pizza and cake then headed home. We are thankful for our good riders, Kels slept both ways and they both slept the way back. It's a relaxing hour and fifteen minute drive for Jason and I. Sunday we laid low at home which we always enjoy.

Spring break is just around the corner for Jason and he's hoping to get a lot done around the house indoors and out. Jason's dad is helping out again next Tuesday and Wednesday so us girls have decided to book a hotel and head to Canton, MI to shop IKEA! I am so excited since we need so much for our house. I know I won't buy a ton because I will be so overwhelmed and I am so indecisive. But I hope to get some things including, window treatments, rug for the dining room, and decorations. Macey is excited because she just got a new bathing suit from TJMaxx ($7.99, not bad) and some new swimmies for the pool at the hotel. We can't wait!

I do have to explain some pictures below. Macey has this thing she does. Around 5pm every night she gets a huge burst of energy and feels the need to exercise. For the most part, Macey is a pretty calm, quiet child, so I laugh when this happens. I don't tell her it's almost 5, on her own, she says, "Time to exercise!' or just starts running. She will run around the kitchen table for about 30 minutes straight. Lately she thinks her new flip flops are her exercising shoes and needs those on as well. Sometimes I am encouraged to join in as well does Kelsey. She might be our track star or cross country runner someday???

Kelsey- "op! op!" (help)

Macey- "I'll help her with the necklace"

Kelsey- "Op! Op!"

Macey- "I'll help her!!!"

Loving her puzzles.

Loving her daddy's shoes.

Exercising at 5pm.

"Come on Sister smile!"
