Easter and Tall Boy's Bday

Not much to update, so this will be short...

Over the weekend, Tall Boy did some much needed work on cars (thanks again babe!) and spoiled his birthday present! He was a little upset when he couldn't find any tools! I think he was a little less grumpy after I showed him his present, a tool storage chest that rolls and separates. I even labeled and organized everything for him! Hopefully he really likes it. I know it will help keep our tools more organized and easier to find!

Easter Sunday was very mellow. Super Girl and I wore our matching dresses and received MANY compliments. It was a lot of fun...we BOTH looked pretty darn cute! Anyway, we just hung out at home, no Easter Egg hunt. We talked about the reason we celebrate Easter, Jesus Christ's life, Atonement, death and resurrection for us. I think Super Boy is finally getting it. He was very somber and asked lots of questions. I told him that Christ is the reason we celebrate and that the Easter Bunny is just for fun. He wrote a letter to the Easter Bunny and left him/her some cookies. The Easter Bunny even left a reply! He was VERY excited about that. Anyway, Easter was fun.

For Tall Boy's actual birthday, we didn't do a whole lot. I asked him what he wanted for dinner, he answered and I made it for him. The kids picked out a big musical card that plays the chicken dance song REALLY LOUDLY! The kids danced and giggled. Tall Boy was a good sport and even led them in a game of freeze dance! Then we had chocolate covered strawberries and cheesecake for dessert (2 of Tall Boy's favorites). However, the cheesecake was thin and not very tasty (the store was out of the kind I normally get). Anyway, we just chilled out at home and watched TV together.

Then yesterday (Tuesday) started off pretty normal. Super Boy woke up and climbed into our bed for his morning snuggle. Then a few minutes later he says, "Oh yeah, I forgot, there is throw up EVERYWHERE in my room!" Tall Boy quickly exited to work (lucky jerk!) and I examined the damage. It was SO GROSS! So Super Boy stayed home from school, but he wasn't sick AT ALL! So he had TONS of energy! He drove me crazy! Luckily enough, we had bought roses on Monday to plant in our front yard, so i went out in the light rain and planted 8 rose bushes! Super Boy had to stay inside and I got to have some fun! I stayed outside WAY longer than I needed to, but I got to breathe a little bit. Then late in the afternoon I had to tackle the nastiness. I had already stripped the bed and cleaned up the floor in the morning, so I just had to rinse the bedding in the shower before I put it in the washing machine. I did so much laundry! AND THERE'S STILL MORE!!! I HATE LAUNDRY! Anyway, I still have a couple of loads to do...

So that is our update. I have a couple of pictures of our first flowers of spring (before Super Girl got a hold of them!). Hopefully our tulips will bloom soon and maybe even some roses too! Enjoy!
