It has been a while since my last post. But fear not, lots of things have been happening, so it's not because I have a completely boring life that I have had no current blogs. I took a week long trip to the Quincy area to visit my family and friends. And while there I tried corned beef and cabbage for the first time ever for St. Patrick's day, and found that I actually liked it. I visited some friends I haven't seen in a long time, and I just got to spend some good quality time with my family.
Our first night at my mom and dad's house, my youngest daughter Danielle decided that she was tired of living in a crawling world. So she took those first actual confident steps in the dining room of my mom's house. AND.... hasn't stopped since! That was March 16 for the record. And you say I don't milestone my kids' accomplishments? LOL.
I visited my friend Elizabeth Dock and her family in Bowling Green/Louisiana Missouri for half the time that I was in the Quincy area. We had a good time catching up and our kids had a blast playing together. My kids got more TV, sweets and soda during this week of Spring Break than they get in a month at home. Don't think it came from the Dock's house either. The majority of it came from dear dear Grandma and Grandpa Green! While there, Elizabeth got me into the world of Pinterest. Yeah, I said it, I joined the world of Pinterest! I have made a powder form laundry detergent, plan to make 3 different kinds of paint and make a 6-layer rainbow cake for the kids' birthday party all from that website. I have also decided to try my hand in composting. How's that for some creative inspiration? Thank you Elizabeth!
I don't remember if I have already posted this, so I'll post it again. After Christmas we went hard core on our son Alex to get him potty trained. And after over a month of lots of tears and frustration on my part, I got him 90% potty trained! The other 10% is the bed time area. We'll get there eventually. Unfortunately I have 3 still in diapers/pull-ups during the nighttime hours. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. (fingers crossed)
My good friend Michelle Schultz came to visit me this last week as well. She brought her daughter Piper. We had a good time taking the kids to the park and the library and just getting to see each other more often now that I don't live 8 hours away. While she was here, one of our baby chickens decided to fly the coop when we had let them come outside for the afternoon. It just so happened to be one of the Easter Egg chickens that got away. I was distraught to the point of repeating myself over the dumb bird. Michelle made fun of me with good reason of course ;) And that should have been the end of it. I of course brooded over the idiotic bird, OVERNIGHT! How pathetic am I?!!!! BUT... Loe and behold, the retarded bird was under the carport. She had managed to survive the night without a heat lamp and without the company of the other 15 birds.
Nathan took me on a date night on Tuesday night. I got Mexican food, which is my FAVORITE! And he took me to see The Hunger Games. Which was awesome! I recommend everyone to read the books and see the movie!
One more exciting tidbit of information. I got a job today! The daycare that I applied for like 9 months ago called me on Friday and offered me a position. I start on Monday April 2. I am so excited to be bringing in a little bit of extra money. Even a little bit can help and go a long way!
