Girls' Spring Program

The girls had their annual spring program at their Children's Day Out program last night. It was Meredith's first year to participate and she did awesome.

Meredith's was the first class to perform and the youngest. They all came out and sat on the stage with drumsticks in their hands. The music started (Wipe Out) and the cutie little 2 year olds started playing their drums. It was absolutely precious. Meredith was quite the performer! She had a good time.

Madelyn's class was the last class to perform and the oldest. They sang "You've Got A Friend In Me" while pictures of her classmates showed on the monitors. Then they sang "J is for Jesus" with two other classes. Madelyn was one of several kids in her class that was moving on to Kindergarten. They gave them caps to wear and had them walk across the stage to receive a certificate and a Bible! She loved it!

I'm sad that Madelyn is leaving that school because it has been such a blessing, but she's on to bigger and better things. Meredith will be back there next year. Enjoy my little cuties!

Easter 2010

I didn't take very many pictures this year on Easter....I was diagnosed with a double inner ear infection the day before and didn't feel all that great. My sister took some pictures and without her permission, I stole some of hers from her Facebook. I know she won't mind. : )

Meredith's Easter dress was Madelyn's when she was 2 1/2. It's an absolutely gorgeous satiny white dress with pearls on it. Mom found one for Madelyn to wear with her that matched perfectly. They were almost exactly the same. They looked like they were going to a wedding. I wish Meredith had more hair so I could've done more with it. When Madelyn wore the dress for Easter 3 years ago, she had thick hair down to almost the middle of her back and it was all curled up. She truly looked like a princess. This year, Madelyn's hair was short, but I still curled it and we put a beautiful purple flower pin in it. Meredith is not about any kind of hairwear, so I tortured her by curling her hair under. It gave it some body and looked really pretty for about an hour and then the curl just fell out. It's amazing to me how different each girl's hair is.

After a wonderful church service, we went over to Mom's for lunch where she fed us yummy, yummy food. The weather was gorgeous with lots of sun and light winds. We took advantage and took the girls outside for an Easter egg hunt. Aunt Kim made up lots of eggs for the girls that contained candy and money! They had a great time. Take a look!

I have a blogging deficiency

When I started this blog almost 2 years ago, I had planned on keeping it much more up to date. I have plenty to write about, including lots of funny stories with two children 5 and under, but it's hard to just take the time to sit down and put those stories into words. I need to concentrate when I'm writing and around here, concentration is a luxury! I feel like my brain is mush most of the time. I can't remember the last time I watched a show in complete silence without a question every 3.2 seconds or a cry from the little one saying, "Mommy, I need to poop!" The joys of potty-training. My babies will do this even when their very capable daddy is mere feet away not doing anything that takes concentration or quiet. There's just something about Mommy that makes it imperative that Mommy do the answering or be poop chaperone.

Alas, my babies are what give substance to this blog. I vow, as I am finishing school (Yippee!) in two weeks, to give this blog more attention and to let you in on our funny lives. At least once a day, I laugh so hard at one of my children that my heart feels like it's going to explode.

So.....on to blogging.
