While most everyone I knew was off enjoying the thrills of early Spring, the Allbrittons decided to stay put and finish the enormous project of the laundry room. Walls, floor, ceiling, it all had to be done. Tyler worked sun-up to sun-down ALL WEEK. While it was torturous work, it was worth it. The laundry room is beautiful and just a joy to go into now! Thank you my hubby, you always go above and beyond for me and your family. Here Tyler is in his hip tiling outfit and after a day of tiling, his hair was completely plastered into place (picture 2).

Sandbox Open for Business!
Chase could barely contain himself once we took off the cover to the sandbox – he loves playing in there! Yes, he is half naked, I love it!

Worm Party!
One early March day in the car on our way to school, Grace and Griffin mentioned they saw a worm – a sign of Spring! I asked if they had ever eaten a worm? EYEYEEWW they all said! I told them people eat worms and there is a whole movie about it! So as the conversation built, we decided we were going to have a worm festival! So a few weeks later, all the kiddos came over, I made fried “worms,” worm smoothie and pudding with worms sticking out. Before we feasted, the kids watched How to Eat Fried Worms – they had a ball!

Saying Good-bye To Sweet Autumn
Yesterday took an unexpected turn. Autumn, our 11-year old sweet mutt, had been acting a little out of sorts – lethargic, not eating, not barking at the UPS truck. Our first thought was that her tummy just needed a rest and she would bounce back, so we waiting for a few days. Friday afternoon I just didn’t feel things were right and didn’t want things to get worse over the weekend and not have our vet around. The vet was concerned from the beginning, he took some x-rays and quick blood work and found she had cancer. I called Tyler to come over and we had to make the difficult, but best, decision for Autumn. Telling the boys was difficult and everyone was crying and loving on Autumn to say our good-byes. Until the end Autumn was wagging her tail. Tate had 100 questions, heaven is now a more real concept. We were blessed to have Autumn as our pup, she will be missed.
