I'm Still Here

For those of you wondering if I had abandoned this poor little blog, I have not. I have just been really, really, really, really, really busy these past few weeks. I know that sounds like a cop out, but I am not exaggerating. Two weekends ago I took the girls to the beach for a long weekend. The following week I had my wisdom teeth removed. Then Haley had two birthday parties to go to on the same day and last weekend we cleaned. And cleaned. And then cleaned some more. But I am extremely overjoyed to announce that I now have a clean house, clean clothes, clean sheets, etc. So that pretty much sums up my absence from the blogging world. I wish I had something insightful to write about after staying away so long, but I dont. So on that note I will end. Until next time.....(and I promise there will be a next time!!)

Easter Fun

Last weekend I got to take a break from the craziness of April and enjoy Easter with my family. Actually it started last Wednesday. Haley had her very first Easter egg hunt at school. I was a little worried since she hadn't really had any experience, but she did great!! I never did take the time to count how many she got, but let's put it this way: her basket was so full that by the end of the hunt when she would lean over to pick one up, I had to catch the two or three that fell out. I tried to explain to her that if she would hold her basket up instead of sideways she wouldn't lose any, but she was too focused on getting eggs. We had another egg hunt on Saturday at a golf club Brent's parents belong to. She and her cousins (who are younger than her) had to compete against some older kids, so she didn't walk away with that many eggs. We still had a good time and the food was yummy. I am just thankful the rain held off!!! On Sunday we went to church. After sunday school, we went and got Haley from her class and brought her into "big" church with us. I am not sure what possessed us to try this as she is not really known for being still or quiet for an extended period of time, but she actually did really well. And the cool part is that I know she was listening at least part of the time because she would lean over and whisper what the preacher had just said. We ate lunch at Brent's parents along with his sister, her husband, and their two girls. After lunch we held the third Easter egg hunt of the year in the backyard. The day ended with a viewing of Princess and the Frog and a consumption of too much candy courtesy of the Easter bunny. Now its back to the grind. I am praying these next 9 days go by fast because I am ready for a break at the beach!!!
