GIVE AWAY!!

We all LOVE give aways! I know every time I see something that says free, or Give away I can't help but to check it out. So here's what I'm giving away. Please keep in mind that there are no returns, exchanges, refunds. But you can regift if you feel like you just can't take this gift. This gift comes in a pack of two. The gift requires some maintenance, okay...a lot of maintenance. You'd have to be patient with them while they are eating breakfast, especially if you need to be out the door in 10minutes, because just a simple bowl of cereal takes at least 15 minutes to eat. Lunch is easy, they would prefer cereal again, this time eating it in less than 2 minutes...BUT DON'T GIVE IN. For dinner they would like anything as long as it has Chicken or Rice, and is easy to pick out the things they don't like. They really would be happy if you would just give them icecream instead of any food. Sometimes I give in at breakfast time and give them the icecream....what's worse lucky charmes or Murtle Turtle icecream?? They usually snack between every meal....they love chocolate over any other snack. One is 2 years older than the other, so He has very good training. That doesn't mean he doesn't have any maintenance issues....he cries over everything. He likes to shove everything under his bed, or in his closet and claim that his room is "clean". He has never gone through growth spurts, simply because I don't think he's ever stopped growing. He loves to get new pants because within a week of having a new pair, you can bet there will be a whole in the knee. The little one loves to back talk. His favorite sayings are "Well, well, well," or "Blah, blah, blah." The younger one also talks in code. "Tormado" means "tornado". "wars" is "yours". And "lellow" is "yellow". If he says or does anything that makes the older one laugh, you can bet he'll be doing it again. He likes to eat his food in phases... never completing a meal at one sitting. It takes him an hour to eat a meal. Don't let any of that stop you though! They really need a good, loving home to develop in. You will be rewarded at the end of the day when they are in bed. They do sleep through the night, and they don't have any bathroom issues. The younger one does need assistance every once in a while pulling his pants up, or wiping. The older one enjoys reading, and playing video games. They both would play video games all day if you would allow it.
If you are interested in this FREE GIVEAWAY just let me know. I will pay for any shipping or transportation costs involved. I will also be willing to include all of their belongings.

Easter Bunny

I love Easter! I'm part of the band-wagon of people who associate it with being "summer" and let their kids were shorts, no matter what the weather is on Easter Sunday. (Luckily it was decent weather this year)
Our friends parents had a really fun Egg-Hunt they invited us to this year. It was nice to see people we haven't seen in YEARS, and to see Damien invite a GIRL!! (that makes it sound like he's Gay, but he really isn't. He's just 31 yrs old, and hasn't had a girlfriend in a while. And I've known him my whole life, so I can say what I want about it.) But she was super cute, super friendly, super easy to get along with, and super young...19!! ANYWAY BACK TO EASTER. Jane really outdid herself on the hunt, and the kids had so much fun during the hunt, and the food was really good.
I was lucky enough to NOT have to work on Sunday!! We had a super lazy morning. The kids managed to find there baskets and toys. Kip got "Guess Who Extra" and we've been playing ever since. Sier got a Starwars toy (surprise!) and he LOVES it. Mark made us a great breakfast, and I did nothing but get ready, and make rolls all morning long for my Moms Easter Egg hunt. Okay, now about the rolls....Marks Grandma makes REALLY good dinner rolls. I tried them around Christmas time for a family party, but our house wasn't very warm, so they didn't get to raise very long...needless to say they weren't very great. So of course I had to redeem myself and try them again. This time it worked...but I'll have to double the recipe so I can eat more than 2!! I've had to learn how to make them with my family, now I can make them for Marks.
The Easter Egg hunt at my moms was fun. They have a HUGE yard with lots of good hiding places. The kids start eyeing the eggs right when you get there, so they know where to go first. My dad went shopping to get everybody their own little special thing. He got my kids some shot-gun shells for their new shotgun....yes my 4 and 6 year old have their own shotgun, but that's a whole other post. He gave my other nephews "worm boxes" for when they go fishing. It was a fun party!
Okay....let me back up to Easter Morning. Mark got a call from his uncle, and we found out that his Aunt Shelly had a heart attack that night. We were worried about her all day. LUCKILY they were at the hospital when she went into Cardiac Arrest and they were able to take care of her. It's amazing...you never think that would happen to anybody you know, but it does. I'm so glad that she's okay. Hopefully she can come home from the hospital today. Mark and I went to see her on Sunday and she was in really good spirits, so that made us feel a lot better, we had been worrying all day.
Sunday night we went over to the Phisters house and played games with Marks brothers and Sister. The kids did ANOTHER egg hunt with grandma and got more fun things. I think my kids understand the basics to the meaning of Easter. I had to have a good talk with Sier about it because he thought it was Easter because the bunny's name is Easter. You know the Easter Bunny?? We've been calling him Easter for a few days because it is so funny! I hope everybody else had a great Easter. We are definitely blessed to have so many friends and family around to share the fun holidays with.
