Easter Egg-travaganza

Happy Easter to you all. David, Lilly and I had an excellent Easter. We travelled up to Bentonville Arkansas (Walmart world) and stayed with Todd and Christine and their family. The kids got to play together, and the adults got to hang, bike, and chat together. David helped Todd at his bike shop, in his attic, and went on a bike ride. Lilly had a tea fort party, hunted for eggs, rode a trike, a bike, and a scooter. And Chris and I got to chat about anything mommy. We had a great time.

Thank you Uncle Sam

This just goes to show that Uncle Sam takes too much of our taxes. But this time we actually got a good deal of it back. We were able to get a new table and chair set, enough to buy 6months worth of food storage, and some left over to build a space in the attic for the food. So thank you uncle sam. I am so happy to have a table large enough to invite actuall families over for dinner. Now I can actually make friends (a lot easier). Or if anyone wants to take a vacation in Texas we have rooms to spare and now plenty of chairs to sit in.

Lilly's Second

I'm finally posting Lilly's second birthday. She was really excited about this one. There is such a difference between first birthday and second birthday. She knew what she wanted and she could communicate it too. Again she wanted a ballon, which might become a tradition. She just loves getting a ballon for her birthday. It was a great day. We did some fun things with her friends, had some of her favorite cereal (PB captn crunch) and favorite foods, then cake ice cream and presents. Missing in the picture are the cars she picked out with some B-day money from grandma.

Crafty Fun

So I finally made a pouch for all my plastic grocery bags. The thing that finally got me motivated was my first freezer meal group. Even though it was a small group, i was hoping for more people, but it turned out really well. My second fun project was a calendar for Lilly. We got to do the day and date of each day, the weather, and what special activities we will do for the day. Its a great visual. I'm not sure what my next project will be but I'm excited about starting to teach things to Lilly. She seems to want to learn and she absorbs so much.
