First sleepover at our house!

Well, Timothy had his first sleepover at our house with a buddy from school. I must admitt that I'm still tired 3 days later....but they had a blast. They watched "Over the Hedge", played, ate ice cream and another snack and just had fun being 6 year olds. I'll share a photo in their jammies and on the last snack.

beautiful Friday

Here we are at another Friday and this week has been SUPER fast. I was at work, got ready for OWB, went to Sara's for 36 hours and now it's the weekend. I hope things are going well at OWB (the consignment sale in Champaign).

It was a georgeous day here in Marion, so we were outside after school. The boys and mom also got hair cuts today, so Matthew & Timothy look presentable again. I will post a photo of our new log cabin thanks to our neighbors, the Allen's, and call it a night. This mom is tired!

Talking is over-rated!

Alright, I am trying to post more often for one life long best friend who will remain nameless..Hee Hee.

So, we are in Kohl's, shopping for PJs & returning PJs (don't ask), and my kids feel the need to say "hi" and "how doing" to every stranger in the store. Then, we move to the van and they pull off their shoes and I hear "good toes." Yes, my kids are now sucking on their toes. So, I feel silence or fussing may be better than the slightly verbal toddler.

On that note, I will add a couple photos... think of the lovely weather 2 weeks ago..... and move to the basement to price items for OWB (yeah...I am out of here for 36 hours next week...Dad's in charge).

April Update!

This photo of the twins is VERY blurry, but they are hugging each other and I can't wait to blackmail them with it later in life. They are the best of friends and also the worst of enemies from minute to minute, but wait until they're 16. They'll die with these photos. If I can just get one without movement. I failed to mention that Abby is wearing Thomas the Tank PJs. I bought a 2 pair set for Matthew and she insists on wearing the other set. Too funny!

The other is an Easter shot. Everyone was dressed in cute matching clothes, and yet, the photos are HORRIBLE. No one would sit still, Timothy insisted on combing his own hair that had been soaked with water and is in NEED of a major haircut. So, I will put these in the archives and go with it.

In Surburg news, Timothy is back to school after Easter break. He has been great at school and avoiding trouble even when his good buddy is misbehaving. YEAH! He is reading and doing very well in school. He does continue to chase Matthew & Abby around our house which drives me CRAZY. Speaking of the dynamic duo...they are binky free except at bedtime. I hope to make it all of the time in the next couple months. They are speaking more and more and love to readbooks with mom. They are a trip together and find fun in the littlest things.
I continue to work and am enjoying my time away from home. It's nice to work, get paid and get away. Mark is happy to be finished with Holy Week...that's the worst week of the year for a Pastor. I did manage to be very generous and share my cold with him on Easter Sunday..he's not too happy with my generosity.

That's enough for now, take care!
