assorted delights of the day.

SUPER LOVED the reactions and comments from yesterdays April fools day post. so fun. i think that picture i googled was the finishing touch. RAD!

the family closet got put in yesterday, the counter, the shelves and the hanging bar. FABULOUS. Tony painted it today. and tile will go in when he does the other tile. i can't wait to move into it. i have pictures from yesterday but not today. maybe i'll wait until it's done to post more pictures. yay.

i spent some serious time at the park yesterday after school. like 3 hours. the kids had a fab time hunting for lady bugs, turns out easter eggs are the perfect place to hold lady bugs, most have air holes now. they collected a load of them in the clover at the park and brought them home to our rose bush. i got pictures. we'll see if they make it on here. we all know i lack the follow through with that.

last night i had BUNKO super fun! CORREE did lots of fabulous salads. fruit dip, chicken salad sandwiches. YUMMY. and some heavenly day fantastic cupcakes. i got to ride out with 3 fun girls. actually i drove in the crappy small car. but whatever! we got there. and home safe enough. So thanks girls for the fun! it was a great night for bunko! i got home around 1:15 am.

today. i wasted time at the dollar store , before my lunch date with these fun girls. and my sista. at my fave lunch spot. i was just in time for lunch. and i came home to a painted
family closet. and we had to hide out in my room. i am getting tired of keeping Pierce and Hope out of the way. they are driving me nuts. they keep wanting to watch. or hang out with Tony.
after school i laid down while the kids watched TV in my room. and pierce was needing changed. so LIBERTY changed Pierce's diaper. i guess it went well because he had a diaper on and she didn't ask for help. pretty FABULOUS. she wanted to change a poopy diaper this evening but i passed on that.i felt it might turn into more mess for me if something went wrong. you have to practice that skill on a baby that doesn't run away.

and dinner? wacky Wednesday all the way. even Lance got 2 it was cheaper to get two kids meals complete with drink and fries than it was to buy one burger. he chose a grape and watermelon slush. pretty funny when he came home from scouts holding both of his slushes. manly beverage he had there. I almost wanted a picture. but that seemed like too much effort to go to .

AND i had to pick a new winner. for my pay it forward contest, someone actually wasn't keen on participating in the pay it forward part. and the random winner is...
#5 (picked by Joy-since she's 5 and all) . yes LINDSEY! you are finally a winner.
and you already know what your prize is. so at lunch remind me to fork over your prize. i know you are so excited to do your contest. and please don't let me enter to win. seriously i can't do another one.

tomorrow. an assembly at 8:45 at the kids school. i have 2 kids getting awards. this is a first for us. and it should be interesting for sure. Hope gets on the bus at 9 so what should i do keep her with me? and then drop her off? i wonder how long it takes. also wonder what they should wear.
so those are the randoms. i had some funny things the kids said today. but i can't for the life of me recall.
oh today. i told Joy to put some underwear. she told me "i need a moment". so i repeat the request , in a snotty tone" MOM , i'll BE right there i NEED a MOMENT! " she is a fruit a moment? where does she learn this crap?
and dang it they had a sub in P.E. Yesterday. so her joke was told to a couple of her friends, and her teacher, the teachers reaction? she didn't say anything. according to Joy who has been known to fib. so who knows. maybe i'll hear an embarrassing story tomorrow. that is always rad.

still behind on the 137 posts to read in my reader. that is awesome. no time. and so tired.and man having people see me sitting at the computer for hours on end is killing me. so i can't , crap!

I'm so excited for your remodeling!!! Totally can't wait to see the finished product!!!

I LOVED it when Felicia started volunteering to change diapers (she even volunteered for poopy ones - and she did great)!!! Now she helps get younger ones dressed, brush hair, etc. It's great!

Glad you had fun at bunko & lunches!!! I'm jealous :)
