absent-minded

In relation to eggs and brain-damage:

Leah: have you boiled them yet?

me:  oh....  no.  forgot about that part...

L:  I just boiled all of mine.

Me:  I don't divide up candy.  I 4get to boil eggs.  i am domestically challenged!  that truck knocked the       common sense out of my head!

L:  Ha Ha  domestically challenged....

Me:  Im starting to worry about my absent-mindedness and lack of logic

L:  I think it is just random.  not from the accident.  obviously, i could be wrong, but I am around you a lot and have never noticed a change.

Me:  great.  i was this retarded before.  Awesome.

L:  Yes, that is what I meant.

Me:  I know. It was perfectly clear.  You didn't stutter.  That's why i said it.

L:  Do you usually stutter while texting?

Me:  Enuf lip out of you!  (that symptom may have yet to manifest ittselfff.)

L:  That would be terrible.  especially bcuz i would laugh at you.

Me:  Always count on you for encouragment.

L:  Yup.

Easter Party

                                                 

the boys with their Easter Egg Hunt haul.

               love this picture. i think it's adorable.  little miss stopped in the middle of 'hunt' to eat the candy.  

sticking the gel cling things to her face.  silly girl.  as far as i know, none were eaten.

the pictures we colored and glued tails to.  (yes, the adults colored a few...)

The Hunt.  Ended up being indoors.  Cold, wet, and muddy outside. 

 Either way the kids got their candy, so they did not mind.

sometimes i feel like this.





sometimes like this.




sometimes like this.




sometimes like this and



this.




but mostly this.


I am not always losing my mind.
I am not always full of "lets build a tree house!" energy.
I'm not always sad.
Not always tired.
Mostly, I'm content and happy.
But I am ALWAYS thankful for my children.

 

Easter party!

having an Easter party next wednesday.  This week has given me hope that the weather will be nice--except the weather man says otherwise.  Apparently it is suppose to rain for the rest of the month, or something like that.  I really do not want to have an egg hunt in the house.  they suck.  my house is not tiny, but it does not feel big enough for 8 kids to be running around "looking" for eggs.  most of these kids are under 3 yr.  they do not do a whole lot of looking.  it would be more like throwing a bunch of plastic eggs on the floor and a race to see who got the most.  lots of crying and fighting involved.  so the yard would be preferable.  everything would be a bit more spread out.  so lets all start praying now that it will not rain for at least a couple hours on wednesday morning.  regardless, I am sure they will all have fun--at least for some amount of time.  kids like anything new.  (oh--i would also like to color eggs outside, instead of my kitchen floor.)  still need to go buy some more supplies and look up games/activities for the little ones to do!  any suggestions--let me know!

pat

Noah has taken up a new habit.  Sometimes this action is adorable--sometimes you would like to return the action right back.  Whenever Noah requests something now (juice, show, crackers, etc.), he follows it up with a 'pat' to the face.  Sometimes he will put his tiny hands on both sides of your face, give little shake and say "milk, please!" in a goofy little voice.  CUTE!  Other times he takes those tiny little hands and 'pats' both sides of your face, demanding "Toy Story 3!"  And gives your hair a good solid tug to make sure you are paying attention.  But he is smiling the whole time, so it's ok...    I'll give you a little pat...
