Easter Eggin'
Molly's Recital Pictures
Manic Monday
It took 3 hours to get everyone dressed and out the door today. I learned that Paisley really won't nap if the kids are awake. She yelled at me all morning. We finally made it to the van, and everyone was safely buckled in and then I had to decide where to go. The mall was my destination of choice, because I figured we'd get the chaos out of the way early in the week. We accomplished a few things...the largest being the consumption of 2 kid-sized icees while walking from dillards to belk with no spills.
Tomorrow we'll take it easy, hopefully clean out the van, and play outside. I have to go to the grocery, I need to practice my new dessert for my PC party on Thursday. Another food to send to Michael's office for taste-testing. Engineers are good for that sort of thing.
This weekend was wonderful. Friday night was our almost-regular trip to Chicfila, where the kids ran crazy and we ate sandwiches and enjoyed being "out". Saturday was a lazy morning, then a wonderful, relaxing Easter Egg hunt. It's so nice now that the kids are a bit older and we don't have to watch them every second. Then out to eat for a grown up fun time Saturday night at Pan Asia. I love the stir fry bar. I feel almost healthy...even though I know the sauce is super-sugary. I bought a pair of cute shoes and got Aidan's Easter shorts. Today I got his belt and shoes, so now all I need is a bow for Molly. I hope Michael and I have things to wear!
We decided yesterday to take vacations this year. We haven't done that since Aidan was 1! So we're taking the fam to New Orleans in April, and the beach this summer. I am SO excited! Especially if it works out that we can leave Paisley. Then we might actually get to vacation.
Michael and I have been discussing the fact that we won't have any more kids. The doctor doesn't want me to...says it would be dangerous. And we certainly have a full plate. I can't imagine being any busier than I already am. But there's a grief that comes with knowing that chapter is over. Our hospital experiences and all of that have been very good, thankfully. But we're ready to raise the kids we have and move on with life. Anyway, we've been praying a lot about this and I feel this is what God wants for us.
So...anyway...tomorrow we're taking it easy, Wednesday we're going to Clinton to visit my aunt, Thursday and Friday, who knows? I want this to actually end up feeling like a spring break...but how do you do that with 2 kids and a baby?
Gosh this post was boring...but i'm too tired to have provocative discussion about anything.

Nothing you could say could take me away from...My Guy
Just for fun....
1. Who is your man? Michael
2. How long have you been together? Off and on in '97, official in Feb. of '98, married since July of '99.
3. How long did you date? 11 months, seriously, but he broke up with a few times in that year.
4. How old is your man? 34
5. Who eats more? I'd have to say we're equal on this. And that makes me sad.
6. Who said "I love you" first? Me, and looking back, he loved me, he just didn't know it!
7. Who is taller? Michael, by a little bit.
8. Who sings better? He's not bad...but I have a bit more experience. And I have a crazy ability to learn lyrics, therefore making me a better singer. (that's what i tell myself)
9. Who is smarter? Michael's an engineer with really good grades in undergrad and grad school. He knows how to study. I am excessively practical and self aware and have a great memory. So I would hope that we'd be equal, just different.
10. Whose temper is worse? He is more demonstrative when angry. I cry. So that would make him with the worse temper.
11. Who does the laundry? Me...but he helps me put the clothes away.
12. Who takes out the garbage? Michael. I hate, hate, hate garbage.
13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Michael. He's closer to the door, so the kids attack him first.
14. Who pays the bills? I do. And therefore I don't shop. I know what we don't have.
15. Who is better with the computer? Michael knows more. I use it more.
16. Who mows the lawn? Michael. I did it once this summer, and he didn't tell me about the self-propel feature. I was almost finished and he let me in on that. I'm never doing it again.
17. Who cooks dinner? Me, unless we're having pancakes.
18. Who drives when you are together? Michael, unless he wants to talk to the kids, then i drive so he can turn around. I can't turn around or I'll throw up.
19. Who pays when you go out? Michael...but we never go out.
20. Who is most stubborn? Michael. All day long.
21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Me. I have a sad problem with assuming I usually am.
22. Whose parents do you see the most? Mine.
23. Who kissed who first? He kissed me. On a hill in Starkville while looking at stars. I finagled the moment, but he made the move.
24. Who asked who out? I asked him, and I still can't believe I did that. My girls will not do that.
25. Who proposed? Michael
26. Who is more sensitive? um...me.
27. Who has more friends? I guess me. I know a lot of people.
28. Who has more siblings? Michael, 2 half siblings. Me, one whole brother. So does that make us equal on this one?

The Pledge of Allegiance
Molly has learned the Pledge. I had no idea until tonight, when she was saying it in the car. So I made her do it for the camera, which is no small feat. Sorry for the lack of clothing. I have to take what I can get when I can get it!!
