happenings

lex and chris didn't have school on monday. (easter monday)
so i got up early and went after easter shopping, woo-hoo! i've wanted to do that forever and never really had the chance. i got a deviled egg plate and some little easter plates. and some quiet time. :)

(of course laney came with me. she comes everywhere with me:)

i rented tower heist and christian and i watched it, very cute. :)
(lexi went shopping with robin and crew.)

it was a very movie weekend. we also rented in time (it was okay, an interesting idea), and jack and jill (crude humor, lots of tooting, but we all laughed:).

on tuesday we got a big fun package in the mail.

bunk bed mattresses!

(yes, we're taking the bunk bed route, even though i hate them)

i don't know who was more excited to open them, christian or addie.

isn't that crazy the way they wrapped it up so tightly?! christian unwrapped forever!

addie instagramed him whilst he was unwrapping.

my handsome boy. :)

one day i paid christian to take the girls to the park for 2 hours (of course it started raining so they came home and watched a movie, doh!) so i could switch out their winter clothes for summer and organize their dressers. i just couldn't do that with them here, they are too helpful. since then, addie has been wearing swimsuits all day. every day. lots and lots of swim suits. i should have expected it, she did it last year too.

"mommy, take a picture of me!"

and then she did this pose! all on her own! she's crazy!

this particular ensemble is a leotard with a swimsuit on top. very versatile.

on tuesday addie got all healthy.

and i went to the church for a meeting with laura. the meeting ran into naptime, so that was a no nap day. :(

the big kids went to church on tuesday night this week instead of wednesday. they had a combined passover dinner with the lexington park ward. i drove the mccombs kids and josh and christian reported that the food was really good and went over the whole menu and told me what everything was and how it tasted. aloseph (alexis and joseph, who are so much alike that i came up with the combined name of aloseph for them) reported that the food was gross and could we please go out to eat. while they were there, delaney and i went shopping. again. and i will be needing to go again before the weekend for matt's birthday dinner. i feel quite certain i could go shopping every day and find things we really need. ;)

(maybe not really need, but things we could use, at least)

on wednesday i met with colleen here at our house. matt went to scouts that night and lexi and i were going to go on a date to get mani's, but the shop closed at 7. :(

poor delaney is still getting lots and lots of love.

i even had to put frankie in time out (twice) for repeatedly laying on top of her.

in spite of all that she is still just the happiest baby.

today matt has his class and i have a rs activity. i made mac'n'cheese with ham in it and lexi went to salsas to celebrate a friends birthday.

then these two sisters bonded.

tomorrow is matt's friday off.

can you say yardwork???
