Oklahoma Easter Eggs

Unfortunately, we could not attend the yearly 'Eggstravaganza' hosted by our lovely Jones cousins.... But we still got creative.

Our own little theme for this year was "Our Life in Oklahoma". Spencer enjoyed making pharmacists and pill eggs. I kind of like my tornado egg best. But that is pretty much all we do. We work, Spencer has school, we go home, and we try to keep the tornados to the south of us :)

I think Spencer's egg depiction of the screaming, angry customer at CVS is very good. I think he has had to deal with that on more than one occasion. 

However my choir eggs are not quite accurate... My students don't open their mouths that well to sing. They barely sing at all.

Spring Break Exploring

In addition to all of my projects, we also did a little exploring - mainly for Spencer. He needed to get out of the house :)
I found a cool little train museum for us to check out. Spencer loves trains. His parents will attest to this. So we enjoyed walking around all the trains, climbing on them, and seeing what they were like inside. It was a little cold and the train rides weren't going yet, so we'll have to go back so Spencer can get his train ride. 

  
 

We also looked at the Oklahoma Firefighter's Memorial, found a cool fishing spot on the other side of the Zoo lake, found where the National Softball Museum is located (across from the Zoo), and found where the National Cowboy Museum is located (up the street). I think we will save some of that for warmer days though.

Brooke's Spring Break Projects

Spring Break was wonderful!! (and much needed) I had a great time shopping around and working on projects for our baby girl. The crib skirt was really my first big sewing project and I am very happy with the way it turned out! Spencer was gracious enough to go with me while I traversed Oklahoma City looking for fabric I liked. We walked into one quilt shop and Spencer said quote, "It smells like menopause in here!" He was still good about it though. He carried around the bolts of fabric while I compared them. His reward was to go treasure hunting at Goodwill but I actually ended up buying baby onesies instead.



I also did some painting. I'm not allowed to paint on the actual wall.... so I got some foam board, painted on that, and then stuck it on the wall. It worked out really well.





I was able to score a crib mattress too. Thank you Craig's List!

It's a GIRL

On Friday we had an ultrasound appointment and we were able to find out that Baby Wallace coming in August is a little girl!! We already had names picked out for whatever Baby ended up being.
Her name will be Kadee Ryan Wallace and she is expected somewhere around August 6th. Although the ultrasound technician said she is measuring big and she was getting a date around July 27th. I am hoping our little Kadee Bug comes early. We shall see.



Spencer is super excited to have a little girl coming. He said he was looking forward to Daddy-Daughter dates. I thought that was adorable. (Man points to Spencer.) I am very excited to start decorating Kadee's room. Since she is my Kadee Bug, her room will have ladybugs all over it. I am also very very excited to have found out that my mother saved my blessing dress from when I was born so we can use that for our little girl! Thanks Mom!! That is seriously the best thing ever.

On Saturday I was in a mood to either throw things away or get rid of it. We cleared out a lot of space and rearranged things in our room to empty out the stuff that has been in our spare bedroom. Now I just have to make it through one week of school until Spring Break and then I can get started on Kadee's room.
