new babies!

We got new babies the other day! Meet Lyla (left) and Gus (right). We are kind of terrible with pets at our house! We got two ferrets 3 years ago and kept them maybe a month before selling them, they were to much work when I was pregnant and Joe and I both had full times jobs. We moved shortly after and then joe came home with a bunny. We didnt keep him very long either! Then we got a puppy! She was sweet!! But again we both worked full time, leaving not much time (or patience) for crate/potty training. Then our newborn was getting rashy and I figured he was allergic. Sorry Roxy but we chose the baby. We sold her to a really nice lady, glad she went to a good home!
But now this momma stays at home, the kids are a bit older (and helpful) and we decided to try ferrets again! We got them a week ago yesterday and they were rescues, but it kinda feels like we rescued them from their rescuers! They had 4 siblings, Joe didn't see the cage size, but they never got out to play. He said the house we extrememly net and clean but stunk like animals, but that coulf have been the 2 big dogs, 3 pigs, 4 ferrets, and the DUCK in the tub. They still stink a little, but hopefully eating ferret food instead of dog food (yes they were being feed dog food), getting their vitamins and the deodorizer in their water and a little spray will help with that.

potty training!

As a mom of 3 I think the worst thing I have ever had to go through was potty training! I'm not sure there is any thing more stressful then the debate of undies vs pull ups, wetting pants, having great progress one day and noting but fails the next...I could go on!
Elijah potty trained at around 21 months and got a hang of it right away! I was soo proud of him! Now with Tiernan I had been diapering for 4 years and had 2 in diapers so I said when school ends he IS potty training. It was a bit of a fight at first, then he did amazing! As the treats, stickers and happy dances stopped, so did his successes. He now will pop in his undies multiple times a day and then when I ask him why, "becasue i a baby!" He HATES being called a baby, but that sounds like a good reason to him at the time! The next day he will make it every time. I just don;t get it! We are getting close to two months now and we still are wearing pulls up more often than not. Elijah was full time undies at 2 months.
ANd to think I have one more left to do this whole thing with again. I might just be bald by then if things don't start progressing with this little boy.

Now lets start over

So I am now half way into reading "Stay Home, Stay happy" and im really enjoying the book, it has a lot of great advice! Lots of what shes says seems like DUH! In your face obvious things that we just dont do! While we all know if we have a problem with our spouse we should confront him right away and not wait 2 weeks till we blow up about something tiny and then it all come out Or that we should have our children help us out, even though its so much faster and easier to just to it our self, they still need to learn. All that and more and I still have half the book to read.
She gives tips on how to get things done right and staying calm with everything being a stay at home momma! I like being a stay at home mom for the most part, but I think this book will help me to enjoy it more. I can't wait to LOVE my job!
As I read I have been trying to change little things about our family, and my stay at home life. One of which will me this very blog! Today I started havng my 2 and 4 year old start "chores." In all honesty I'm not sure what chores tey can do, but Im going to start a chore chart for the both of them and give them stickers when chore are completed and some sort of prize for the number of stickers. I haven't really figured it out 100% yet.
The only chore type thing they did today was laundry! Yes I had my 2 and 4 year old helping with laundry and before you call CPS on me (joking of course) they loved it! I sat the 2 year old on the washer, handed him clothes to put in, and the 4 year old emptied the dryer which of course he had to climb all the way in to get that last bib from the back haha! Then as it washed they helped sort clothes by peson. Elijah was much better than Tiernan at sorting but he is 2 years older. Then i emptied the washer to a basket and Tiernan loaded the dryer from the basket as Elijah picked the dirty clothes off the floor for the washer.
Yes I could have done it myself, and it would have taken far less time, but if I don't leach the kids how to do it them self 1- I'll be doing it for them forever 2- their future wives will be VERY frustrated with them! The best part of it all was they enjoyed it and asked to help more. Good start to chores, and they know nothing about possible future treats for doing so.

One hour in pictures! 1-22-11

This is from Firday 1-22-11 it kinda took me a while to get around to posting and I forgot to rotate the pics beforehand! Sorry!!

I got this for Christmas and it couldn't be more true! I hear "mommy I gotta go potty"
Son #1 is up! Morning Elijah!
Kylie is still sleeping, arms behind her head legs up!
Silly baby!
it says 7:45 but hubby sets it ahead so its really 7:33
After our potty trip Kylie is awake!
Off to go get her amoxicillion (spelling)
"Seriously mom again?"

I told you I don't like it!
I WILL be back for you!
Good morning Tiernan! Son #2 is up!
Diaper change for Kylie!
Now the switch!
Diaper change for Tiernan!
What Eli doing during the diaper changes? Oh yeah "reading" his book!

A little play time for Kylie!

And breakfast is served!
All linned up! The kitchen table was taken over with random stuff so they ate in the living room... Im a bad mom :)

Even worse they were watching Handy Manny too!
Coffee is brewing!
Kylie gets jealous of the boys cereal, so she gets some puffs!
yummy!!!
Coffe is ready!
Yes the boots are mandatory all day everyday that and his cheesey face!
I still take my prenatals...with my coffee...
Looked ut side to see if it snowed... Sure did! At least it is pretty...
Only 8:04?
Lets try to use the computer for a minute...
That didn't last long! Tiernan spilled Elijahs Juice!

Kylie is Elijah's girl!
The boys ate breakfast, now it's Kylies turn!
Now silly faces!
Kylie liked it...
Tiernan is still shoving food in his face!
Now its time to wreck the living room and take every toy out! And yes that is our Christmas tree in the box STILL in the living room! SOMEONE is just to lazy to put it in the basement!

I tried to get a final time but it didn't work, so this is where my hour ends!

remember when...

Remember when I posted last? Yea well I don't! Been busy with 3 kiddos lately! This morning I took pictures of the first hour of my day... That was interesting...the first like 45 mins was crazy busy then it just died down...I think only because the kids were eating and watching tv! Yes I'm the terrible mom who lets then eat their cereos/kix and juicy juice in front of the tv. At least its not like the sugar cereal and kool aid right?

So the boys might be getting bunk beds like soon! But then Elijah (4 in march) will be on the top AHHHHH! But they turn in to separate twin beds when they are ready. Right now thats great because the boys need to share a room and Tiernan needs to get out of the crib so Kylie can use it. It will be good for the long run too, when we have a bigger place and the boys have their own beds! Im thinking Eli will fall out though, he's definitely not the most graceful person! I can see him crawling down and sleeping with Tiernan on the bottom though!

Ok well I'm going to go play with the kids till nap time then I'll upload my pics and post my hour in a day on here!

Kylie Grace!!!


Better late than never right!?
Kylie Grace is now 16 day old. She was born July 17th at 8:44am I was in labor exactly 12 hours and 9 minutes. I pushed about 5 times in maybe 2 minutes and out came my perfect little girl! She was 7 pounds and 1 ounce, 21 1/4 inches long. Everything is 100% with her. Only thing is she is to small for all her newborn clothes, but were making it work! At our WIC appointment when she was 6 days she was 7lbs 4.5 oz, then her first doctor appointment at 11 days old she was 7lbs 8oz. She's gaining weight ok and I think she started a growth spurt early! ALL yesterday she ate constantly, now today shes fast asleep even if you move her all around!
She has been breastfeeding like a pro, and she's pretty good sleeping in her own bed so far. We've spent 3 nights in the living room. I was scared because I couldn't get her to sleep at all in the hospital in her bed, only in peoples arms! Oh and her brothers absolutly LOVE her! Eli loves to hold her and kiss her and protects her from Tiernan since he's accident prone! And Tiernan loves her most the time. He gets jealous and wants mommy time at least once a day for maybe half an hour. When he's hungry or wants juice he freaks if I'm nursing her though. Tiernan will come up to us and say "old er" and I bet you can guess what he wants to do!
Hubby has been a huge help since she was born too. I'm really lucky with my little family! The only issue is shopping. I can't do it alone with the kids, but Joe doesn't let me do it alone. He makes me spend to much money...We'll get into our grove soon, I hope.

T-minus 0

Today is D-day! For the last 9ish months (or however long I've know I was pregnant) I've been waiting for this day to come! July 12th, the magical day I'm DUE to have my baby. My baby girl, my princess, my first (and hopefully last) little girl. I've been waiting, planning, and getting ready for this day for 9 months! And here I am...It has finally come, and I am STILL PREGNANT!
I'm so ready to have this baby! My mom and I went to Wal Mart last night and bought some more little girlie things for little Miss Kylie Grace's arrival! My son picked out socks and an pink onsie, its the boys gift to her, I still need to get gifts from her to them. But this little girl is going to be spoiled, and oh soooo girlie! I can't wait.
After having two rough tough little boys I can't wait to get my hands on a girl! I have lots of hand me downs, garage sale, and brand new clothes for her. Most of which are the girliest things I could find! She has more pink that anyone I know, bows and hearts and headbands galore...and the thing is... I'm not even really a girlie girl! I NEVER wear dresses and hardly ever a skirt. haha oh well, I can live through my baby!

I have been telling everyone that Elijah was born in a thunder storm, I remember hear the thunder all the night while I was in labor for him, I think it stopped before he was born, but i still labored through it. And Tiernan was born during a terrible snow storm! My sister and dad drove up to see me going about 10-15 mile and hour in near white out conditions in a 4-wheel drive jeep! So I think Kylie will be born during a storm too.
Here's the thing... Tomorrow it IS SUPPOSED to be a thunder storm at like 1pm to 6 pm or something like that. While that works for me, and my mom who will get to be in the labor room with me (her boss is ok with letting her go when need be). it so does NOT work for my hubby! Im so scared I'm going to go in to labor after he leaves for work tomorrow! He will be making a near 6 hour drive to go to some Buddhist camp thing to service their septic type system, plus other places near there. Im scared if I go into labor while he's down there he might miss our little girl being born! I am very not ok with the thought of my husband not being there with me. I'm glad my mom will get to be there with me, but I need my honey too! Oh well I guess what happens happens, and I know he will try his best to get there, its just the thought. Plus I don;t even know if I'll go into labor tomorrow!

Worry worry worry!

one penny at a time...

I found a new website beruby.com thats pays you to go to other websites. All you do is sign up and when you go to the pages you normal would do so through the website. For example you can add facebook to your favorites and instead of going to facebook directly, you go to beruby first and go to facebook through there. You get a penny a visit, its not much but it adds up! I got a dollar just for joining. The website selection isn't huge but its beta so I think it might get bigger!
Everything helps no a days! And hubby can't say anything about me not working and being on facebook, because I'm getting paid for it now lol!

P.S. I'm still freaken pregnant! 5 days left :( I hope

Happy 4th!

Happy forth of July! Today Is the only day i DON'T want to have my baby! Every so many years I share my birthday with Thanksgiving and I hate it! I hate that my birthday is even close to Thanksgiving, I guess I just don't share well. But I don;t want my baby girl to have to share her birthday every year! So if I go into labor today I 'm hoping to hold off until tomorrow!
But so far so good today! My oldest son Eli is with his father at the parade, and tiernan is napping at home with me in the AC. Hubby is IN the parade with the fire department! For some reason he seemed excited about it, even though it really doesn't seem like his thing! I think Its seeing Eli get really excited as "daddy" passes by on the fire truck! My husband and my ex get along in person but Joe wants to be daddy and have my ex disappear! I wouldn't mind that either, it would make life easier, but its to late, it is what it is. Oddly enough, Elijah and his father are sitting with my sisters family, and my brother in law didn't get along with my ex to well at the end! As long as Elijah has fun and is happy, thats all that matters to me. The ex (Corey) doesn't usually take Eli two days in a row, but I'm feeling generous, he took him an extra hour yesterday, and then for the parade today, at least 2 hours. I even suggested that! Im so sweet. LOL
Im kinda happy I didn't have to go to the parade. I don't hate the parade, but I don;t enjoy it like others do. I have lived here all my life, except 2 years I lived an hour away and still came here for the parade, and its just the same thing every year. The music the bands play changes, the dances the 5 different studios do are different, but all the rest SAME! I was thinking of taking Tiernan by myself. But I don;t think he'll really enjoy it enough to miss his nap. Naps are very important to that little boy! So is his bunny! Which I'm going to go sneak in his room and steal so it can get washed. That thing is nasty!
But I guess I should get my rear is gear and get some dishes done, after bunny of course...priorities!
Well have a happy and safe 4th of July!

I want to be rich!

I signed up for swagbucks a while ago, and I have no idea what I'm doing... But I think I'll catch on with time. If anyone has any tips feel free to leave me a comment! I have the widget at the bottom of my blog to incase anyone wants to use it, feel free!
I had another good shopping trip this week. My dad took Eli wednesday, so Tiernan and I were left alone to get groceries. I had planned the trip all morning, and I don;t think I had any impulse buys, I stuck to my list. I spent $61 and saved $40. Go me! :) Not as great as my other trip but I can't complain.
I'd like to get lots of freezer dinners and easy stuff since baby should come any time now! I have 10 days left till D-day! I was up for an hour with contractions, but when they didn't change i just went back to bed. Still had some when I woke up but same as 2 am. False labor, but at lest it helps right.
But my sister had her baby last Sunday. Uriah Michael, 10:58, 9lbs 11oz. He's a big boy, but so sweet! I saw him later the day he was born, and then again yesterday for dinner at my sisters. Tiernan came down with a fever sunday and an ear infection, so we kept our distance 'till he was feeling better.
I'm getting impatient GET OUT KYLIE GRACE!

been in coupon land!

One month ago (exactly) I went to a coupon seminar. It cost $10 to go but my following grocery bill i spent $48 and saved $58. So I think the one time $10 fee already has been made up for! Most my spare time now has been spent cutting, sorting, and looking for (more) coupons (to cut and sort). Right now I'm using a yearly planner to house my coupons and well it's not really working to well!
Well "That lady" (who held the seminar) is giving away a free coupon binder. Which I as going to make one (eventually) anyway. But free is better for me! Here is a link the her website if anyone else would like to enter to win one...But if you win you should think of me! haha IamTHATlady She has a picture of what it looks like too, and you can order one off her site incase you miss the free entry.

not again...

I realized that its been forever since I posted! Life has been stressful! My husband up and quit his job, with not even a day let alone a two week notice. He started delivering news papers thats night he quit. Big jump in pay for sure! Within four days he had a second job though so it was to terrible. But no were a week behind on pay with the gap. He's going to make the same amount of money but he's killing himself working two jobs instead of one. I also found out in this financial crunch that he started smoking again! He had been smoking about a pack a day for "2-3 weeks" witch in "I'm sorry I lied but I'm still trying to cover my butt here" language means 3-4 weeks. I figured in the average of 3 weeks he smoked away 141 dollars and some odd change! He was stressed about money so he wasted $141! While I'm sitting home doing nothing because we can't afford it, and cutting coupons for everything and budgeting...He is off smoking! I wanted to kill him, it's been two days and I'm still not over it, in fact I'm getting madder as i type...
I haven't gotten a haircut in over a year! After Tiernan I sold all my maternity clothes in a garage sale. I have one (maternity) t-shirt I got for free, and 4 dress shirts (one short, one 3/4, and one long sleeved), 3 spaghetti strap tank tops I wear under shirts and one regular long sleeve thermal-ish. Then I have one pair of black dress pants (that are two short) and a pair of jeans thats hurt. I'm very thankful because most of that (not the pants) were gifts! Now saying that it has been 85+ degrees out and I'm HUGELY pregnant! Do you want to wear warm clothes and dress shirts with PANTS in that kind of weather? No and neither do I! But being tight on money I've dealt with what little I had, wore sweat pants when i could, and hubbies t-shirts around the house. My sister got me 2 more short sleeve t-shirts on sale ($4 and $8) that I now have as of yesterday. At 4 and 8 dollars a piece do you know how many maternity t-shirts I could have had with $141? Somewhere between 17 and 35 shirts! Seeing as I don't need that many shirts I could have gotten capris and or shirts to wear too... But no, the cigarets where way more important! ARG!

On a separate note, Elijah has a big boo boo on his "uncle." On his legs he has both uncles and ankles, but know knees lol! He also went to his first baseball game with my sisters family! Also Tiernan got his first black eye yesterday, curtsy of daddy. Or course it was an accident though, Eli was chasing Tiernan, Tiernan was running (kinda) away hit daddies coffee, Daddy swung his arm to catch it and some how got Tiernan is the eye. My poor little guy! He as pretty upset 'till mommy got a freezer pop for him to eat and another for his eye. Now Elijah keeps getting random boo boo's so he can have one too! My kids are so funny.
Well the boys only nap at the same time for a short period of time, and I've spent a lot of it blogging so I think its time to shower and do dishes! Don;t be to jealous...

Thursday, May 6, 2010

Why is it...?

Why is it that:

when you finish doing the dishes you find some more "hiding" in another room?
after you vacuum your kids wants to eat breakfast while watching cartoons and spill it everywhere?
after you clean the toilet someone is GOING to pee on the seat?
during nap time someone drives by with a loud car/truck/sound system to wake the kids?
right after you draw with chalk the rain washes it away?
you struggle to get downstairs and out the front door with your kids and realize you forgot the whole reason for the trip on the table?
when you really want to be outside on a nice day the kids are terrible and don't deserve a trip to the park?
the meal you eat after you mop the kitchen floor gets thrown by your toddler?
when you have dinner ready your husband comes home late from work?
When you have extra money something breaks?

Spring nesting

So I haven't decided if i'm "nesting" or "spring cleaning" yet. What really is the difference? Isn't spring cleaning just nesting when your not pregnant? Thats kind of what I think, so I guess I'm just "spring nesting"? All the laundry is done, folded and for the most part put away! We need more dressers or less clothes. They are all filled to the brim, and there are only more clothes in baskets and storage...
Now the toys...thats a whole different story! The boys each have a tot/bin for their toys, which are over flowing to the floor and daddy had to bild selfs for Elijah room for the "big toys." With baby #3 on the way and being a girl she will get a whole new set of toys! I have been trying to sort and get rid of broken toys, and the less played with. But as soon as we get to the bottom the boys find a toy that is a favorite and just fell through the cracks. I feel terrible throwing away/donating toys. I know at one point all these toys were a favorite of one of my children. But at the same time they are just cluttering my tiny apartment!!
Working at McDonald's sure didn't help any. I got so so many free toys when I worked, and when I came in on a day off with the boys they always got 1-4 free toys from my friends/co-workers. I have doubles and triples of a lot of them. I have more toys and clothes for these kids than they will ever wear/use and i feel terrible getting rid of any of them! I need to just go in and find all the broken toys and toss them, all the stained clothes and toss them!
I have all the clothes Tiernan grew out of, but I promised them to my sister if she's having a boy (they aren't finding out) or my friend if she's having a boy. My sister has a boy and a girl so she doesn't need them, but as her sister i feel its my civil duty (lol) to give her first dibs! But my friend it's her first baby and she doesn't have anything. She finds out next tuesday what she's having. Thats going to be tough to get rid of Elijah and Tiernan's old clothes, I'm attached to them, its sad! We don't have room so I know they have to go, and this IS our last baby, i think, for a while..who knows!
Well after my little rant I need to get these toys ut of my living room so Eli can join his brother for a nap, and I can vacuum, clean out the closet in my room, and load the car with bottles and cans, and recyclables...
*80 days till Kylie is due*

super excited!

Haven't wrote in a loooong time, and when I signed on today I had 5 followers! Wicked cool..love it..
So I'm finally in my 3rd trimester and I can "feel it." Everything is ticking me off and I'm very moody as of late! I got anther bill for a "no show" on a Dr. appointment. I showed up for every appointment I ever made there, or canceled/postponed. I'm really bad with confirmation and I was starting to get REALLY mad, so my mom told me I should wrote them instead of calling. GREAT idea mom! Seeing as I'm extra moody and ticked off I thought I might explode, or cry on the phone with them. So I wrote them a letter and I got the right amount of "witchy" with a inch of polite. I feel a lot better now! I think I'm going to start writing letter more often now!
Today is a beautiful day out and I just want to be out with the kids! But of course Tiernan got cranky and wanted to nap...party pooper!! Eli didn't want to eat or nap but I told him it's the only way to have energy to play more later! I hope he gets up before Tiernan so we can go play out front and maybe go to the park after.. But sitting here with the blinds open and sun just pouring in, I'm getting super antsy to go back out. But I really should fold laundry...yuck!
Not really much "new" happening here lately.. Joe took his midterm last night for Firefighter 1. So I'm excited thats half over. Not sure when Firefighter 2 starts up, but I'm really not looking forward to it! But I have to keep in mind that being a volunteer fire fighter can turn in to a (much needed) career move. Right now I feel its unfair, he's never home as is and I never get to go out of the house alone (no kids), how selfish of him right!? Thats terrible.. being a fire fighter is a very unselfish thing to do! There goes my moody pregnant brian again!
I made a new blog and I think I'm going to go write in that now, I'm feeling quite sarcastic at the moment!

Proud momma!!

So I have been teaching the boys sign language! I think its so cool that they can sign to me... Elijah can do about 8 signs in 2 weeks or soo. A lot are animals because thats what he likes! He knows Lion, monkey, bird, elephant, more, mom, dad, thank you, drink... I think thats all for him. Tiernan can only do to so far but its to cute!!! He does more and drink. He does them both wrong but he's only 13 months he'll catch on. For more he puts one finger to the other open hand instead of both hands "pinched" going together and apart, and for drink he kinda just smacks his mouth instead of doing a c near his mouth. But needless to say I'm pretty happy with it! Tiernan uses his signs a little more since he can't talk, but Elijah uses them randomly when he is talking and he really tried to help his little brother use them!
Because they have been such awesome kids I tool them to the park today, the weather said it was going to be 70 with rain in the afternoon. I thought 9:30 was a good time to go then! Shortly after we got there it got cold and starting getting dark. The boys only got to play for about 45 mins before it started to thunder. I was sad too! Tiernan never has gotten to go to a park to play really, and there weren't a lot of kids to make it to busy. Tiernan still wont walk so he crawled in the wood chips and across the wood bridge thing the bounces. He was having a blast! I took some pictures but left the camera in the car!!! Elijah is so scary at the park! He goes down the biggest slides and down the fireman pole (with mommies help). He's just fearless!
I had to make Elijah a promise today that I DO intend to keep! He wants me to climb trees with him and play! I can't really do all that being pregnant! So I promised him this is our last baby so I can do all the fun stuff with him again soon! I never was much of an outside play person even when I was little (even ask my sister she hated that), But when your mommy you'll do anything for your kids... Yes that means learn to climb trees and touch nasty worms and bugs lol! I might even relearn how to ride a bike, haven't done so since I was 11? maybe...and it wasn't with to much success! To bad they don't have adult size training wheels! HAHAHA!!
Well nap time is almost over for Tiernan I should get laundry ready to go in and do all that mommy/wife stuff I do... Not that I want to...and its national no housework day! But I since I already started I might as well finish and celebrate tomorrow lol!

Easter!

We had an amazing Easter day yesterday! I forgot to put the boys baskets out the night before so when Elijah was going potty with daddy and Tiernan was still sleeping I snuck out with the baskets and put them on the tv stand. Elijah had already picked that he wanted the orange one, and Tiernan would have the blue. We also got a pink one for baby girl for next year. We bought new ones this year so they would all be the same size, no fighting, and Joe gave our to his mom on accident! Eli knew what one was his just by what was in them. He was sooo excited! We didn't really do to much candy. They got cars and bubbles stuff like that! When Tiernan got up he went for the car first and started picking jelly beans out of the Easter grass. It was so cute, and he loves jelly beans!
After playing with toys, having breakfast and some candy, the boys and I went off to church. They did a play and It was so so so cute! AFter church we picked up Joe and went off to my sisters for Easter dinner. My sisters fam, my parents and two other families from church came to dinner as well... They left soon after and then It was family only which was kinda nice, not that it wouldn't have been nice if they stayed. Then Briella (my niece who is 4) and Elijah had an easter egg hunt! That was the highlight of the day. So cute, so much fun too. We only found 39 out of the 24 eggs that were JUST hidden, luckily they are outside though. After it was desert and coffee.
Joe's mom called soon after and we headed up the my brother in laws house for easter with them and more desert. The bys each got another easter basket from mom mom and pop pop. More toys, candy and what not! We only stayed a short while because it was getting late but it was nice. While we were there hubby asked to buy one of his brothers grill from him, So we got a $100 grill for $20. I swear he can buy things you didn't know you were selling, and sell you things you didn't know you wanted to buy! He's to funny! But we have a grill now, it needs a tube, grease catcher, and the tank needs to get filled, but I'm happy! Were grilling tonight!
All in all Easter was a very nice day. Daddy even took Elijah out to ride his new bike for a little, he didn't do to good though. Both boys fell asleep in the car on the way home, stayed asleep to be carried up to beds, and stayed asleep as we put them in. That never happens they must have been beat. I feel asleep on the couch shortly after. This morning though I woke up to a huge mess since we had such a bust weekend. Toys and candy everywhere and the kitchen was a mess even though I've hardly cooked all weekend.
Have I mentioned I hate Easter grass!? Well I do, so to get it out of my sight till next year, I already put the boys candy in ziplock bags and put the baskets up. Now I just have to sort the toys out, they got all mixed this morning, then to their separate rooms! But looking at all the candy they got...holy cow! Hubby and I each got a basket from his mom too so there is more candy in this house than anything right now. I already told my mom she needs to come over and help us with it!
Oops this was ment to just be a little update and turns out much longer than I had anticipated!
