A glimpse into our week through Instagrams…

The kids have loved having some snow to play in {me too!!} and since we’ve been here it has snowed twice and has given them some time to play {and earn some allowance}!

Our friends, Ashley & Ryan are getting married this summer and I got a sneak peak at their wedding venue, Rialto Square Theater. Absolutely. Stunning.

Eden turned 5! We celebrated with lunch at Chick-fil-A. {Yes! Charlotte friends, we have them here but it’s about 20 minutes away.} Then she practiced painting her fingernails alone. Later that evening, her brothers took her to dinner at Johnny Rockets.

It has been a week of check-ups with the doctor! The State of Illinois requires a health exam by an Illinois doctor in order to attend public school, so we have been to the eye doctor and pediatrician this week. Between the 4 of them they received 11 booster shots! Poor Stone, after receiving his 2 shots and watching Eden get 5 shots, he almost passed out! I did my best to distract them by singing but once that first shot goes in, nothing matters anymore. The promise to treat each of them to a hot fudge sundae on the way home seemed to soothe the tears a little.

I am participating in Darcy’s Project 52 Photo Challenge where there are weekly photo challenge assignments. One photo a week for a year. If you would like to see my submissions, check out my Flickr page. Maybe you would like to join too? {iphoneography is completely fine with this challenge!}
