B found a (live) crawfish in the garden yesterday.

One of the best things to do on a Spring Saturday… We went to one of our favorite local “plant places” today, and the kids picked out some flowers for their garden.

Thought my coffee looked pretty from above. I prefer purchasing beans that I know were roasted pretty recently, but sometimes I don’t order in time and it’s tragic to run out. 🤪 So, I’m currently using (and like) Kicking Horse Coffee Three Sisters and Decaf mixed together for a homemade half caff.

3 years ago today: My girl hunting for Easter eggs in the clover at home 💛🩵🩷💜💚

We got school done early so we could have a “LEGO party.” Kids have their own new sets they’re working on, and I’m doing this set I recently got for my birthday.

(Happily) Flew through some school this morning. Then, we might have got the order of things wrong, but so be it… Chiro then trampoline park for the kiddos. Welcome time with sweet friends (both theirs and mine).

From our trip last week
March 27, 2025: Houston Museum of Natural Science
Such a good museum. My two favorite exhibits this time were Fabergé (first two photos) and Gems and Minerals. Ancient Egypt is pretty cool too. (Third photo is from the Hall of Paleontology 🦖.)
March 26th, 2025: Houston Zoo!
Ro’s favorite animal was the meerkats. And I didn’t get a picture of her with those even though she sat looking at them for a while… And asked to see them one more time before we left. But allll the other animals were close seconds. And we had a great time!!
Celebrated her birthday this week with a trip to Houston!

Dried herbs and spices are so pretty together.

This makes me smile.
She missed co-op yesterday because of a sore throat, but we brought her home all the activities. She got busy on this one yesterday evening.

Made applesauce muffins allllll on their own today. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Something little that makes me happy: tiny bowls to soak nasturtium seeds that match the color of each variety. 😍
Didn’t have matching plates to keep them dark. But it’s still fun to see all the color sitting on the counter.

My cousin and her family came to visit us the past few days. So, we decided to do a swamp tour on the Atchafalaya Basin. Had a(n unexpected) private tour on a really beautiful day!
Saw a mama and baby great horned owls, ospreys, and some gators (still a little chilly for a plethora of gators).

Yesterday 💛💜💚

Birthday eats from yesterday: crawfish hand pies w/ crispy Brussels + blueberry cream cheese and Biscoff king cake cookies (and @Mtt’s choc chip cookie)
Louisiana’s “second winter” arrived (“almost, but not quite Spring” will be here next week, though, so it won’t last long), so cat snuggles this morning. Pretzel 🐈 was appreciative.

Some impromptu extra “school” time outdoors this afternoon: Finding tracks and identifying them 🦝 + picking dandelions, etc. and watching a timelapse video of how they morph from bloom to seed.
