Wha 'cha doin'?

I haven't had time to blog....busy busy....but we have had some fun:

Let's start with April Fool's Day....I fooled the kids, and Scott, with a Mystery Dinner. They had to select their Star Wars character choices for Appetizer, Main Meal, and dessert. However, they didn't know what they were ordering. It was a lot of fun and the kids decided they wanted to do this for every holiday.....

Drew ordered mac and cheese and a hot dog for his appetizer and didn't order his silverware....LOL...Molly had gotten her chocolate mousse and pink lemonade for her appetizer...

Then there is the everyday "hanging out" with Barbie....Molly had wanted to play with Legos, so I got out the bigger ones for her and pretty soon I turn around and she has Barbie hand-cuffed to Harold the Helicopter....poor Barbie!

I also tackled a sewing project with a real pattern! and it was my first really successful pattern/sewing thing I have done. After I had started sewing, I realized that the pattern was a lot like an outfit I had wanted to purchase for the last two year but couldn't justify spending $79 for my ever-growing daughter who couldn't care less. So I added the ruffles to the outfit to make it look just like what I had wanted....for a lot less.

Easter came around....we always like to get together with friends...so this year I had a group over....and lots of kids. They had fun hunting for eggs.....

and playing football. While the grown ups hung out....

I got some crafting in.....a headband with Molly silhouette on it...

Drew worked very hard on his Red-Eyed Tree Frog project. He had to do a power point, a diorama, and a clay figure with parts labeled.....yes, in 2nd grade. This was the kind of stuff that he loves to do, so he had a blast. Then the whole 2nd grade had a special Safari Night at school and they had all their projects set up and parents walked thru them all (well not all) and listened to the kids' presentation. It was a neat idea!

Then back in Feb, I went to Tastefully Simple Regional Conference in Cinci. We had such a blast...especially that I got to take 9 of my team members with me! It was so fun to have a team to celebrate with! I am so thankful to have a growing team with such wonderful women...... and men...sorry Marc:)

Drew and Jack both had Grandparents Day/Special Friends Day at school so since neither of the grandparents could make it, they had some little friends who came and shared the morning with them, along with Scott and I. Here Cohen was helping Drew with a craft.

Jack had posted this note on their bedroom door...Drew had wrote real small on the bottom of each note "He doesn't mean it". :)

My parents were also up here last weekend which was a blast! It was a short visit, but a sweet one:) I have no pics....what's up with that? Don't know! Maybe my mom will send me some.
