Easter




We had a great Easter! The girls hunted for their Easter baskets from that "sneaky Easter Bunny!" They were so cute trying to find things. They aren't much for looking...as I am sure any 2 and 4 year old is. If it's not in their hands, they don't see it, and sometimes, not even then! But they finally found them and were excited by what the Bunny brought. They also dyed Easter Eggs in the morning.They both got Easter dresses that they wore to Grandma Joan's for Easter lunch. Then we came home and they played all evening in the yard. We are LOVING the warm weather!

Tara Jo got them Bunny glasses. I know they don't look very happy in this picture, but they thought they were pretty funny!

I have started leaning how to use my cameras better. I usually just use auto mode and point and click. But really wish that I could take better, more creative pictures. So I have been playing around with my cameras and have really discovered some neat settings and different things. I spent an hour outside today taking pictures of my tulips...just playing around. I think I got some really neat shots. What do you think? I apparently have a wide angle option...something I didn't know!These two are my favorite...There is a setting on the camera that lets you pick a color and then you take the shot and only that color shows up, the rest is black and white. I especially like the red one!

I love Spring and all the bright colors and flowers and buds. There are so many things to take pictures of!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
