easter and other things...

spring break was last week, and the kids and i were really good at doing nothing and it felt so good. poor bronson was sick for the last couple of days, and then the day he starts to feel better his mean mom takes him to the doc for his 15 month check up and he gets a shot. bronson and the girls are doing really good, luckily they are a bunch of healthy kids, which makes me so grateful and happy.

for easter the kids had fun at two easter egg hunts with both sides of the family. we missed seeing papa and grandma jane this year but i am sure they had a great time down south.

easter and spring break highlights:

• watching bronson figure out what his basket was for, and then laughing as he tried to quickly get eggs with all the big kids around.
• bree and sophie having a sleepover with nana
• bree so excited about her first pair of high heel shoes. she almost twisted and ankle three times but oh well.
• holding our new chandelier with my head over the balcony so that tom could reach it to hook it up. i was laughing so hard and he thought i was crying.
• after taking the ladder down from hanging the chandelier, we notice that toms left two square dents on the ceiling where the ladder was wedged. not good.
• watching all my tulips bloom.
• watching bronson freak out asking me what all the tulips are over and over. "wat that mam" in the cutest voice ever.
• bronson being the grumpiest little boy ever. we can't decide if it is the 6 teeth coming in at the same time or the MMR shot, but seriously the kid does not stop screaming and crying over everything.
• bree successfully taught sophie the majority of the alphabet, and i think it might be because sophie gets a fish when she can tell me all her letters. she has a couple more so any advice on fish?
• tom re-grouted our shower and it looks a million times better without the black and pink who-knows-what in the grout. thanks babe!
• had a sleepover with meg and the kids thought they hit the lottery. too easy to please.

• lots and lots of reading, coloring, movies, walks, and yard work.

• bronson will sit all through breakfast and a while after watching all the birds in our backyard. he might bark at them but he gets the idea!!

• sophie and i have the same hairdo now and she thinks it's so cool.


• dying easter eggs. tye dye ones are really cool.

hope everyone had a wonderful easter and spring break!
