EASTER GOODNESS
So I've struggled on what to write. I've already "vented" about the nursing thing, and really, what else goes on around here? Then I decided that I just need to write, whether its entertaining or not, or I won't write much at all. So for the sake of "journaling", I'm going to write about Easter. oddly enough (almost) EVERY SINGLE day of celebration last year (2207) sucked! And I'm talking puking on my birthday and Burger King on Thanksgiving. But when the Lord closes one year of doors, he opens another, right? So we decided this year would rock. And it has. Michael had a good birthday (a small party and treats all day) and I did too (a surprise bowling party and later a Matchbox 20 concert-amazing). Valentine's was good. We exchanged love letters and went on the extremely rare date night. Very nice. And for Easter we decided to start celebrating Saturday. We took the kids to 'Horton Hears a Who'. A movie in the theater is a rarity for us and I was nervous about Quincy sitting through it. As we were walking in, Avery was throwing a fit screaming "I don't want to see the elephant!" And we turned into the parents who insist, "You will see this movie and you will have fun!" As always, we were right. And then we decided to take him to IHOP since they had "Who-cakes" from the movie. He went in there screaming "I don't want pancakes." You will eat pancakes and you will like them! Why do we bother. We did last minute easter shopping and came home to decorate eggs. Of course Avery bailed on the dipping spoon, so he died his hand blue. The next morning the Easter Bunny placed the dyed eggs in a trail leading to the kids Easter baskets. We dressed them cute and went to church. We had dinner, an easter egg hunt, and a cookie decorating with some friends. It was a good Easter weekend. My mom asked if I talked about Jesus to Avery. The extent of that for me was "This is a special day for Jesus. Here, have some candy." I haven't explained death to him yet, so I didn't know how to go about explaining how Christ overcame it. It'll come. Anyway, we had a great Easter. And there, now I've blogged again!

About Me
- Summer's World

- So I used to think... I used to think it was my world. Maybe Michael thought it was his. But we have been re-educated. By a 4 year old and a 2 year old. It's their world. We live in it.
Birth of Child #1
He looked like a blue alien. Luckily it didn't stick. And thank goodness we didn't go with Michael's idea to name him based on what he looked like.
Birth of Child #2
Much less eventful, thank goodness! She was born with red hair and 2 teeth... and skin colored skin!

I love your explanation of Jesus. You are too funny. We didn't even do that so you did better than us. Glad you've had a good year so far!
Okay, so I definitely know about the Jesus portion of Easter, but where does the Easter bunny come from? I was trying to remember so I could tell Fisher about it, but I was drawing a blank. Is there a real story behind the Easter bunny, or is it just a huge rabbit leaving baskets full of stuff? I'll find out about you know what if you give me the low down on the Easter bunny. Lisa
Awww! Easter, Valentines day and both birthdays sound like they were so much fun! And a Matchbox20 concert!? Call me jelous. It seems like I haven't talked to you guys in forever, wait, that's because I haven't! Oh man, we gotta fix that.
As for the boobie problem?? HAHAHAHA Gosh, sorry. That was just so funny, yet, terrible all at the same time! No fun at all, yet, fun to read! Maybe you could put really sad faces on your boobs and show Avery how they really feel. I mean, I wouldn't want to make already sad boobs cry. :) Just a suggestion. Hehehe
Love ya' guys!
