A day in the life of the smith household

On Tuesday it was time for invitations! Chelsea came over and helped Mel and me put them together.  We had a blast! Thanks Chels.

Later in the afternoon, Matt surprised us girls with some Tropical Smoothies :) What a sweetie. 

The dudes, Matt, Josh, Josiah and Sean, headed out that evening to a city park to play b-ball. When the guys at the hoops asked where the boys went to school, they didn't believe that they were all homeschooled.  Ha!

Melissa made us dinner that night...DELICIOUS! You are getting good girl :)
Then chels came back over for some P90-x with Mel. 
It was a fun filled day! I am so grateful for these special times with my fam. I love you all so dearly. 

And update on the youngest Smith...Josiah has graduated from high school! Mom is all done :)

Tips from Mag & Mel's Jewelry Box

-In order to easily display all of your earrings, bracelets and necklaces, place all jewelry in a jewelry box drawer with at least one necklace.  

-Once the drawer has been opened and closed several times pull out one necklace and the rest of the items should come with it.  Thus, you can see all of your items together and will be able to choose what will best match your outfit for the day. 

-The one tough part is getting that primary necklace free.  Melissa did a marvelous job  

Coldplay...next '09

slumber...eggs...cramming

 Just like old times, Mel, Jap, Nel and I had a slumber party!!! We made cookies, watched a movie, and probably laughed over half the time.

On the Saturday before easter we colored eggs with Jord, Nel, Jap and Matt. 

Can you tell which egg Jordan colored?
Matt colored his first egg ever :)

On Wednesday, Joey and I had a late night ahead of us...so we made a trip for doughnuts and caffeine.  Thanks for being my study-buddy Joey!
