Stealing another survey from Natasha? Yup! Anyone surprised? Nope!

3 Places I Never Want to Go:
1. Jail
2. The dentist
3. Antarctica

3 Places I Always Want to Go:
1. London/Highclere Castle
2. Mexican food restaurants
3. A movie theater with Allison

3 Appetizers I Will Eat at Any Time:
*I love A LOT of appetizers, so this is by no means the only ones I enjoy. These were just the first 3 that popped into my mind. I felt this was necessary to explain. {grin}*
1. Chips & queso/salsa
2. Fried pickle chips
3. Sausage balls

Wall Colors in My House:
1. Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams in every single room except 1 wall in Trent's room {from Paige's nursery}

I absolutely hate this color and I picked it for the WHOLE house when we were building. It's too light and blends too much with the door color - which I also picked and also hate.

2. Trent's wall is Windwood Spring by Behr

3. Lots of wall samples as we do plan to repaint several rooms...but some of these samples have been up for 15 months...eek.

1 will be the living room/kitchen/entry way and 4 will be our bedroom...

whenever I get around to painting...

Things I'm Looking Forward to This Month:
1. Brent's birthday is next week!
2. Time off of work on Memorial Day - yes the days are repetitive with everyone home, but it's A LOT less stressful to not have to work while also managing children
3. The end of virtual school!!!

Places I Enjoyed in My Youth:
1. My grandparents' houses - we went to both sets of grandparents' houses a lot as kids {they lived in the same town} and had such a blast!

2. Sleepovers at friends' houses - that was my Friday night highlight for many a year
3. Our family reunion in Salado every summer - it was THE highlight of my summer

My first reunion at 11 months old

Things 10 Year Old Me Never Expected to Spend So Much Money On:
1. Food! Who knew food was SO expensive! Our grocery bill is just shocking to me.
2. Our mortgage - our house is a lot bigger than my parents' house so I just was clueless about what homes could cost
3. Starbucks - can you believe I spend $5 on a single drink there??? Totally worth it! {grin}

Like all holidays...and really all of life...things are different this year. And Mother's Day was no different. There was no church, no spa gift card {it's currently closed and who knows if/when my mother-in-law and I would be able to go, SOB}, BUT like every other day...there was family time! I had just a few requests for 'my' day - I want Starbucks, I wanted to go on a nature walk/hike, and I wanted Brent to grill. I'm happy to report I got all 3 PLUS my kiddos and hubby washed and vacuumed my car, yay!

I can't with this little nugget

We didn't make it very far into the hike before this one wanted the Ergo.

And then refused to smile for ANY pictures when she was on my back.

Selfie with my babies...you can sorta see Paige's forehead ha!

BEAUTIFUL view!

Beautiful babies!

Texas being gross

Nature is so ugly

And she STILL won't look up!

Monday I took the kids to my parents' house and my sister did the same with her kids. We stayed outside 99% of the time, took a walk down to the creek by their house, celebrated our mom and Blair's birthday {which was in April}. The cousins were ecstatic to be together after not seeing each other for 3 months! We practiced as much social distancing as we could with 6 kids ages 3-11.

Creek adventures in this creek since 1981
