I guess I don't have anything really to post for the last two days. Yesterday was fine. Ryan took a load of hay up to Boise and Justin, Claire and I were all ready to go ride with him in the semi, but it just took to long to get going and I had to be back for a meeting. Good thing we didn't go he got home about 9:30, my meeting started at 8:00 so I would have totally missed it. Thank goodness for grandma Violet to babysit for us all the time. She is an adopted grandma that lives just up the road from us, the kids LOVE going to her house she thoroughly spoils them, and me.
Since the girls were at Gma Violets I took Justin and Claire and went to Wal mart, I thought it would be good to only go with two, I chose the wrong two. Justin will not ride in the cart anymore, well he wont sit and I am afraid he will fall out one of these times so he walks, but he doesn't stay with me and there were no big sisters to go and get him for me. So needless to say we tromped all over walmart just chasing him. Then my meeting was short, which I like but I had to drive 30 minutes for a 20 minute meeting. Oh the joys of living in the middle of no where.
The night before last night Ryan got ambitious and took the carpet out of the hall, he has yet to install the new flooring. Why cant we have a job that allows Saturdays off. I never thought about it as a kid growing up on the farm, Saturday was the really hard work day, if not out on the farm then in the house doing Saturday chores. Now I realize that the whole world, excluding farmers has Saturdays off. What a novel idea. I will probably live my whole life and never know what it would be like either. Oh poor me, my life is so hard! Anyway, I guess I am just hoping to get the project done, so I can make him start on another one! I am impossible to please I think.
Today Ashley insisted on us organizing the kids cabinet. We did that this morning, I will give it a day to stay that way. Ashley is my organizer/cleaner, Emma is not. She screams and cries at the sound of the word work. I hope I don't scar her for life and have her turn out to be a bum who watches TV all day. Actually I think I already have. It is hard to be the mom sometimes, OK all times.
So for the rest of today I have to put away laundry, make dinner and hopefully Ryan will get home at a decent hour and we can get some work done on that hallway project. Tomorrow is the Easter egg hunt in at the park. We will be wearing all of our snow clothes, it should be easy to find the eggs though. The girls want to see Enchanted, is it good for kids? I never went to see it so I don't know if I want to rent it or not. Sunday we are going to Grandma Telfords for dinner and more egg hunting, inside the house. Hopefully some cousins will get to come too. I will try to post some pictures of the egg hunt in the morning.
So last night I was getting the plastic eggs all filled with candy, all of the kids were in bed, so I was trying to get Easter baskets ready, and in comes Emma. I had my door shut, which apparently means nothing in our house, so I told her to go out and knock, so she knocked and then walked right in again. So I made her go out and explained to her that you don't just walk in, you have to be invited in. Anyway so this morning at breakfast Emma starts announcing I know who the Easter bunny is. That little sneak, I cut her off before she said another word. There are NO secrets at our house. It will be so much easier when we don't have to pretend there is an Easter bunny, tooth fairy, Santa, etc, etc. I guess I am just a terrible liar. How long do we have to keep this up anyway?

Sounds like you guys stay pretty busy. The hole Easter Bunny thibg is going to be an issue at my house also. I bought Krae some camo crocs and he found then last night and asked who's they were, I said his sisters when she gets older and he went along with that but now when they show up in his easter basket how am I going to explain that one. I guess I have a couple days to figure that one out.
Hope you guys have a great Easter
Mijken -

Wow, it sounds like it's always non-stop at your house. I had to laugh at your trip to Wal-Mart. The only way I make it through stores is to buy some cookies or a package of M&Ms or something and just give them to McKay who rides in the back of the cart just eating....generally I just open them in the middle of the store before buying them. I've had so many people give me dirty looks over this, but they're also the same ones giving dirty looks when the kid is screaming too...go figure! So I definately relate. I'm thinking of getting a leash for McKay to be totally honest!
Sounds like you guys will have a great Easter, oh, and Enchanted is totally good for kids. I watched it at my friend's house Friday with her 3 kids and McKay. It was a cute, cute movie. I'm sure your girls will enjoy it if they're into princess stuff!
