No more Slacking...





I know this is late, but better late then never right? We had a fun Easter, it lasted a couple of weeks at my house. We colored eggs at the in-laws the day before Easter.






Jackson made a "dragon" egg, he doesn't know that it was turned into a salad the next day. Poor baby dragon.










The next day Caitlin and Jackson got their baskets, (sorry no pictures, I'm trying to be better) and then we had dinner and an Egg Hunt at my Sister's.





Like Jackson's Spiderman Halloween basket?




Then a couple of weeks later, we went to an Egg Hunt on my in-laws side. Lots warmer and lots bigger. 70 people vs. the 20 at my families!














Upside Down....


I feel like the contents in my house have been shaken then turned upside down. I am madely trying to make things right again but all I'm doing is running in circles. Ever feel that way? I have so many projects that I want to do, or need to do (dishes) and I've started lots, just haven't finished any of them (or the dishes). Oh wait! I did get all of my pictures from various CD's onto my computer. I'm quite proud of that one because I started out not having a clue what I was doing. Plus I got out of doing the dishes a little longer.



So, back to the things I "should" (dishes) be doing. We have three bedrooms in our house, mine and the hubbies room, Jackson and Caitlin's room, (that looks like this half, ok, MOST of the time)








and then the computer (thats broken and we haven't used in over a year), and craft/food storage/ junk holder room. That one is way to scary for pictures, seriously, we make people sign liability release forms before entering. So my Sister had the brilliant idea to turn the junk room into a playroom. Then all of the toys could be a mess in there, my kids would have a clean room, and my junk room would be gone! Until it finds its way to another part of the house, but thats besides the point. I have slowly, very slowly, been working on making the switch, but this is the week! I know you're excited for me. Keith is done with School for the Semester and he has plegded his service to me. Hmm... maybe the dishes will get done...I will put up pictures when its done. The rooms, not dishes. Hehe! I cant wait!



In the middle of that I have a mile long list of other things I need/want to get done.



  • Walls decorated in the bedrooms and soon to be playroom

  • dishes

  • kids bathroom decorated

  • dishes

  • my room some what orginized

  • dishes

  • wall art

  • madehair bows finished

and the list goes on, it does include the mundane every day things, but who wants to dwell on those? dang never ending dishes... sorry, not dwelling... argh!


In the midst of all my crazy circle running we do find time to play. It's really more play then work at my house, but I didn't admit that.




bathtime is always fun





Inside Jungle Gym, complements of the couch!



Well, off to my list, or maybe the dishes, maybe.

Things I should know by now.

Ever do something and then later look back and ask your self why? Thats me, all the time. I'm no pro at parenting, but I'd like to think that I've learned a thing or two. Now if I can just get my self to remember...

If I stay up late, one of the kids will wake up as soon as my head hits the pillow. It never fails.

Never, never, NEVER, go shopping while hungry. My grocery bill goes up by at least $20 and even though I came with a list, I end up going home with a bunch of snacky stuff and not much else.

If the thought comes twice that I should put Jack in a pullup at bedtime, I'd better act on it. Otherwise I will have the joy of changing his sheets at 2am.

Bathe the darlings BEFORE getting myself ready for the day. I don't know how many times I've had to change clothes or fix my hair. Water is drawn to the floor, and to me.

Safe Kids Fair



On Saturday we took Jackson and Caitlin to the Safe Kids Fair. It was a lot of fun, Jackson and Keith had their picture taken with a bunch of Star Wars people. Jackson got to sit in a Fire Truck, he thought that was the coolest! He won a free Bug Juice but he choose to take a t-shirt instead, Keith was proud of that cause Jack LOVES Bug Juice. Cait had fun looking yelling at people.
There was a little melt down on the way home. Jackson got a balloon sword right before we left the fair, not three minuets in the car and the whole thing popped! He was so sad! Then we stopped to get pizza and they had balloons, so Keith got one for Jackson. As we walked to the house Keith says "hold onto your Balloon, if it goes up you wont get it back". Right after that! Jackson lets go and the balloon flies up up and away! My poor boy who was so tired and hungry, thought his world would end. Now about every ten minuets he asks if we can go back to the fair and get a new balloon.
