My Big Boy

Eating with a fork and a plate.
It is a big milestone.

A bigger house

Sometimes I wish we had a bigger house so we wouldn't be packed into a small space with all of our stuff. But then I wonder if it would just be spread out more.
I am trying to keep the kids room clean but if the one year old can get into it - it is spread to the four corners.
I think I am going to have to buy stock in clear plastic containers.

I should probably

Oh there are so many things I should do right now.
Instead... I am updating this blog with nothing much.

The youngest is in bed and the eldest won't be for a while.
She is watching Bolt and playing with the P.Pockets.
D was absolutely dialed in to watching the doggy on tv.
He was trying to kiss the dog for a while, then he would just stare, and finally he just went over and couldn't resist pushing the button to turn the tv off.

MD is out tonight doing work things. So of course that means I get to do the food detail.
Which means that I fail miserably. I think I would like cooking but it is difficult for me to do when I don't start the process with finding the recipe, then buying the groceries, and finally putting them all together.
So the kids ended up with grilled cheese on not so great grilled cheese type bread. Oh well.
I haven't eaten anything but a bit of yogurt so I better go scrounge something up for myself.
I think we have some eggs in the frig.

Sunday almost over

Here we are at 8pm on Sunday night. It was a quick weekend but a good one.
I wish I had video from last night. B and I spent the night at Tante's house.
At 3am last night Tanta's eldest daughter A was standing outside my bedroom calling for 'Mommie'.
I immediately popped up sans glasses and was so disoriented that I didn't realize that it wasn't my daughter calling for me until my sister came out of her bedroom .

Then B did a bloodcurdling scream about an hour later and woke up the house.

It could have been a scary B movie for Mom's.

It was good though. We kept the cat from scaring Tante after B's bloodcurdling scream.
Because not only were all the human's woke up but the cat knocked something over right after.

Good Weekend

The weekend was good.
I think B did change outfits about 4 times on Saturday. I kept thinking that I should take a picture of the next outfit but when I got around to it - another one was in its place.

Now we move into Holy Week and my poor husband is still struggling with a sore throat. This week has always been my favorite week of church but we spend a lot of time at church.

It will be a strange week at work too. Lots of people gone at work related trainings. Now I just wish I could wear jeans, sweatshirt, and flip flops and I would be all set. We don't even get jeans on Friday which is a bummer. At eWAC's workplace, they have played bingo over the paging system. Now that is beginning to sound like fun instead of work.

Happy Holy Week!

very beautiful.

Happy Spring

The thought of spring cleaning is exciting to me.
A chance to open up the windows and sweep the dust bunnies out the door makes me want to take vacation and just do it for an entire ... week. I know, it is a sad way to spend vacation but it would be nice to just get ahead of life.

The blog layout has changed again. I wonder if I am moving to a more minimalist layout every time. I hope Blogger decides to create some more templates because I am going to use them all up at some point.

Okay - I am being asked to remove myself from the computer so my eldest can watch 'Max and Ruby'. Nice stories about an older sister and younger brother doing things together. Personally I am not able to watch it but B likes it.

Happy Spring!

Clean & Calm Boy
