Multitude of Thoughts: Multitude Monday April Edition!

Thankful this week for family.

What a beautiful thing it is to not only celebrate Easter but to celebrate it together. This year family relationships have grown a little deeper and that is only because Heaven and Divine intervention. Our hearts are softened and grace upon grace is shown and the relationship thrives.

Memories from the week 3.28

When fruit can be army men . #creative

Dont be fooled! 4.1.2021. It's slime and shaving cream and a pom pom!

Virtual STEM Class!

Pearl

Pet store visits.

So teeny!

Cerreta's Chocolate Factory.

Wildlife World Zoo Take 1: Met our sweet friends for the morning.

Passion can squeeze through the metal bars, and escape. He def can fit through Lulu's play pen that is surrounding the metal pen- yet he doesn't . And he always comes back for food.

Sis time.

Lego Station! We decided to try and encourage aka make Hudson keep his Lego creations whole, instead of recreating things with 10000000 pieces everywhere all day err day... so far so good!

Not too shabby of a research space!

New to us wheels! Life with 2 vehicles again is oh so nice.

Wildlife World Zoo Take 2! Kids loved it so much Harrison & Matt went!

Meanwhile I got the house Easter ready, Bounce house came early and was WAY bigger than pictured! It was a BLAST to have it all weekend, and although it got hot, squirt guns helped a ton!

Lulu loves to play with her food. And as the fourth kiddo and also the teeniest Hebert we let her do anything in hopes of her wanting to eat real food. I think she could live on milk and shredded cheese and applesauce!

Tub Time!

More zoo pics!

As long as I'm living my baby you'll be... .such a sweet teen

Good Friday!

Pickleball! Our boys got defeated- but they played hard and had a good run! And found a new sport that is intense!

When your mom is a crazy planner and the house is Easter ready too early and she won't let you breathe in the kitchen- you eat out all day Saturday .

And swim with friends

We have the best neighbors! We bring over a treat and we leave with a bigger treat! So cool.

HAPPY EASTER! 4.4.2021

Started the day with Harrison ( shocking to see his late text that he wanted me to wake him up for the sunrise service! He was up at 545am!) So nice to spend the hour together. With over 1,000 others, worshiping.

Then to get coffee & donuts

Passion made it to our Fab Four photo.

After our regular church service, the hustle started for the family brunch. I was so so so thankful that we could host. I am not only obsessed with brunch and all things bunny, Lulu could happily snooze the ENTIRE time, and the kids were outside bouncing, painting, sucking helium from Hudson's week old balloons and feeding bunnies. The inside was candle lit. quiet and all things PERFECT. It blew my super high expectations away. (And just that morning at the sunrise service the pastor was reflecting about expectations and I silently vowed that I would be okay with things going outside my Pintrest perfect ideal. But then also hoped they wouldn't ;)) I read this today about hospitality and seemed very applicable...

Hospitality is all about relationships and making people feel loved and valued. Hospitality puts people first—their comfort, their enjoyment, their needs—and invites them into our lives. Hospitality is not worrying about the clutter on the dining room table as we order pizza to be delivered. Hospitality is not about spending hundreds of dollars purchasing food for a gourmet, 9 course meal but instead it's about intentionally creating a place where people feel welcome and experience love, acceptance, and the presence of the Lord- even if it's just sharing a big pot of leftover vegetable soup along with some crackers.

When we practice hospitality, we have the opportunity to touch lives in a personal way. We just have to be bold and willing to share what we have with those God places in our path- even if what we have is not a lot. God has not only given us the roof over our heads, He has also given us the love and wisdom needed to open our homes and hearts to others. My prayer that this month as we read what God has to say about Biblical hospitality and serving others, that we think of ways to invite others to join and fellowship with us. That we truly see who God places in front of us and figure out ways to have them join us so we can share God's love with them.

Also her monthly scripture writing plans are on point too.

Our house is small. But thankfully it all worked out. Except the forks. I need more forks.

This warmer was the best Amazon delivery all week!

And this ice machine, we have had for months and can not say enough! Its spendy, but its worth it. The ice cubes are like mini snowballs- perfect crunch and so fresh.
