Good news and Bad News

The month of May has gone by so quickly that I thought I would just do a quick update on what we have been doing this last month.

The good news is Little bro. turned 7 months old this month and is finally getting his teeth. The bad news is that I am now dealing with him teething. He cries a lot and just wants held. That wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't so tired from staying up with him in the middle of the nights.



The good news Sissy graduated from Kindergarten. On the 22nd we went to the graduation it was so cute. Only 11 kids and they sang a couple of songs and received certificates. She is so happy that school is out and she can stay home with the boys. The bad news she gets bored real fast and so now I have a whole summer of finding activities for her to do. Also bad news I will now have a 1st grader I'm getting so old!!!



The good news Bubba learned to paint. The bad news it was his toenails and bathroom floor. Of course it was a bright pink color.



The good news Big bro.went on the Father-Son Campout. He loved it. Lately Big bro. has really enjoyed spending time with Hubby. I think he is in the stage where is brothers are just to young to play with so he tries to do things with Hubby. They had a really good time camping. The bad news it was only 1 night and they forgot the marshmallows.





The good news on Mothers Day Hubby and the kids made me breakfast in bed it was so sweet. The bad news Big bro. spilt the hot apple cider on me and Sissy dropped the breakfast on the floor. But really there was more good news than bad on Mohters Day. The kids and Hubby bought flowers and some gifts. In primary the kids made me gifts and cards. I love seeing the pictures they make for me I feel so loved when they make it themselves. Bubba came to me after nursery and gave me a flower he made. It was so sweet because the nursery leaders taught them to say Happy Mothers Day. The bad news as soon as we got to the car he took it back and has never given it back to me.

Saturday morning the kids woke up and found their baskets from the Easter Bunny they were excited to get some new toys and such. We then traveled to Hubbys parents house and had Easter with Hubbys' family. The weather there was perfect. The kids got to look for Easter eggs and play with their cousins. For the past couple of years we have done an egg hunt where the kids hide the eggs and the adults look for them. I have to admit that I am not very good at this but it sure is a lot of fun. For lunch we had prime rib. I truely believe that I could live off of My father-n-laws prime rib it is the best. It was a nice day and we all had a lot of fun.

Grandma's Ducks

Grandma Boring loves ducks and the kids love grandmas ducks. For Easter she got all the kids chocolate ducks. And the kids really loved those. Bubba was the one in our family who ate the most on the first day that they got them and yet he doesn't gain the weight. I ate just a few nibbles of each and gained way more than I should have:) Oh to be a kid. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Boring for the ducks.

1st Easter Party

The Monday before Easter we had some friends come over to decorate and hide eggs. Their kids and ours are almost the exact same age so it always works out just right when we hang out with them. We talked the husbands into hiding some plastic eggs in the front yard and then the kids all went out and looked for them. After they found all the eggs (okay really they only lost one so thats pretty good) they came back in the house and decorated more eggs. It was so fun and a perfect way to start the week of Easter.
