5 mph

I asked for it, and I got it! Finally a slower weekend! Saturday morning Ellison Ann woke up and she was even more congested than she had been earlier in the week. When I suctioned her, it was not pretty. Wanting to nip it, I took her to the doctor first thing. Right now it is just a sinus infection, praying that doesn't change. When we got home Wayne had to leave to take a test, so the girls and I hung out at home. I started purging their closet and Wayne brought in a tub of Hads baby clothes for me to go through for Ellison. It was nice to be home and check some things off my to do list. When Wayne got home, we went to Lowes and got the dishwasher, sink, faucet and light for the kitchen remodel we will be starting next week. We already have the cabinets and the floor is ready to be picked up. It ought to be an interesting spring break, I'm sure we will rethink not going to the beach many times during that week. When we got home we had loads of laundry that I had done that day. Wayne, Ellison and I spent some quality time together folding them, before we rented The Blind Side. I can't say Ellison was much help. She located a certain article of clothing and used it as a teething toy then entire time we folded. Hadley was horrified when she saw that Ellison was chewing on her panties. She was pretty stinkin' proud of herself and just as content as she could be.

Sunday we were suppose to have an Easter Egg hunt at the Church, but it got cancelled due to weather. Hopefully, we will get to hunt next Saturday. Gracie was going to go with us, but she still got to come over to play. The divas with their picnic.

Ellison got some playtime with daddy. She has been so good, even if she doesn't feel good.

The double pigtailed divas before they went to Church tonight. They wanted their hair fixed the same and insisted on taking their sunglasses because it was bright outside. Um girls it has been raining all day????

Weekend Fun

Saturday was a crazy busy day!!! Saturday morning Hads had soccer pictures. Which we busted it to get to at 9:00 am. We walked in and they were taking the last kid on her teams individual picture. We got Hads picture taken and waited for the team picture, but they weren't taking a team picture. I was seriously disappointed, we busted it and they took an individual picture of her in her uniform, pretty sure I could have taken one that I would have been just as happy with and it wouldn't have cost me $15. After pictures it was off to the Valley for the Awana Grand Prix. Last week Hads painted the car and then Wayne prepped it for her.

Hers is the second car from the right, blue with polka dots and flowers. Her car wasn't the fastest,

but she won 3rd in her group for design. She was over the moon!!!

Then Saturday evening we went to the Park. It was the first pretty day in FOREVER!!!!! Here is a certain smiley someone as we started out.

Here is another smiley someone before we started.

We took Hads bike for her to ride and practice on. Because seriously what kid doesn't love to ride their bike at the park. Let me answer that for you, mine!!!!! The drama is unbelievable. I am not exaggerating when I say, she got on the bike and peddled three parking spaces away from the truck and wanted to quit and go play on the playground. We had to tell her we were going to go home if she didn't ride the bike. Santa Claus missed the mark when he brought that one in on the sled!!!

The only smiley member of our family left, once our trip started.

Finally, the playground!!!

PreK breakfast

Friday morning I went and ate breakfast with Hads. They had invited the PreK moms to come it with the kids. When I got there, Hads was already in line. She turns and sees me, bolts out of line, erupts in high pitches squeals of Mommy, Mommy. Several people turn to look at me. Yep, that one's mine. You would have thought I had been gone a week, but not the case, I had just seen her 30 minutes before. It's nice to be loved.

Life

Dear Life,

I would appreciate very much if we could slow down a little. I would settle for a brisk walk or jog, rather than the dead run we have been going out the last few weeks. Somewhere in the chaos, Ellison gained complete control of her head and has discovered people watching. Hads has started using words like literally and apparently in the correct context. With all the activities and running, I'm not sure when they got big enough to do these things. Plus, it is causing me to be more scattered than usual. Seriously, how many people pay for their food at a drive thru and then drive off with out it? Or how many people leave their lunch of pizza for their 4 month old daughter, instead of the bottles she loves? The activities are great, but I don't want to miss their milestones and plus we are a little tired and more forgetful than usual!!!!

Sincerely,

The Mommy running around like a Zombie!!!
