Out of the Loop-Easter info and pics

Okay it seems I just can't seem to catchup anymore these days, so bear with me! Since the last post, nothing real major has happened, but I will update as much as possible.

We had a nice Easter, we colored eggs, really the first time on our own. We had a special kit our friend Natalie gave us, where you could make your own stickers to put on the colored eggs. The kids had a blast.The finished product!
The next morning, they woke up to what they really wanted......Tennis rackets in their Easter baskets!
We also attended our church's Easter egg hunt, the kids had a blast!

Emilie Got a Haircut

A few weeks ago, Emilie wanted to get her haircut, so we did! Our friend cut over 6 inches of hair off. I thought I would miss it, but really it looks really good. Her hair is also much easier to take care of! She said that she did not want mommy fixing her hair all the time, well I of course still fix it, but it does not take as long. No she is not crying in the picture, her eyes were watering from a cold.

Bye Bye Bye

Well, we have been getting high electric bills for awhile now, so we emptied the hot tub and cleaned it out a couple months ago. Sure enough, our bill went down some. I suggested to Aaron that maybe we should put it up for sale and to my surprise, he said yes. So I put it on Craigslist about 11am on Thursday and by 2pm I had hits on the Ad! The second person that came by to look at it said we have the money and we will come pick it up. They are coming tomorrow at 1pm to come and get it. Meanwhile I am still getting responses, because silly me did not delete the ad yet. Someone e-mailed me and asked if I would go like super low on it, I was like no way! Anyway, bye bye bye hot tub, maybe we will put chairs and a table where the hot tub is!

Spring Break

Last week was spring break and boy did it seem like a long week. I had my two plus Jewels and Eric across the street. We went to the Library, had movie day, and the fun of the whole week is I treated the kids to the DART train. They were so excited. We went with our neighbor and her friend and their total of 4 kids (total of 8 kids). The ages ranged from 3-8! We took the train to West End and then had snack, took a potty break, then went and got back on the train to head for home. They did have a lot of fun. All in all, it was a good week, all the kids were very good! I was extremely happy when it was time for the kids to go back to school on Monday!

Justin's 8th b-day party

Yeah, I know I am real late on this, but better late then never right. Justin wanted a Lego party, but do you know how hard it is to find Lego stuff for a party. I made the invitations, which let me tell you took a long time. Heather said she could do a Lego cake (turned out nice, thank you Heather). He had several friends come over, they played pin the dot on the Lego, squish the balloon, hot Lego, & they each signed a t-shirt for his party. We also did a warm up type game where I tied certain Lego's onto helium balloons and they all had to find them, it was fun watching them run around trying to find the right one. It was funny tho later when we had them all try to pop the balloons only 2 of them really tried to do it, but most of the other had a blast just watching some pop the balloons! Overall, Justin said that this was the best birthday he ever had, so that made me happy! Stay tuned, I will have more to post in the next couple of days or so.
