"Hoppy" Easter!

Well, yes as a matter of fact I am aware of the time lapse since my last blog entry....and sorry for that! I get busy doing other stuff and forget to write in here....Anyway, we had a good Easter! Lito and Lita were able to come for a visit and since they were gonna be at the house all day Friday, I asked the kids if they may want to stay home on Good Friday to spend time with their grandparents...and of course they chose Lito/Lita over school any day! And yes, they were able to see the "terrible little two's" coming out of Baby Girl! (I kept telling them but they didn't believe me!)

We didn't do too much yesterday on Easter Sunday....we had church at 11am and that lasted a good hour and a half (with kids...whew) and then the church had an Easter egg hunt that the kids enjoyed picking eggs from! It really wasn't a "hunt" cause all the eggs were in plain sight and if you weren't careful were stepped on! They were sectioned off by age group and age appropriate candies! So all the bigger kids (Jonah's age group) were pretty much done gathering up all of their eggs, while the little guys (Requay's age group) slowly grabbed one egg while attempting to open it, carry their basket and check out what everyone else was doing! We finally just told the kids that we had more than enough eggs to last us! So we left to go eat lunch and didn't make it back to the house until around 2:30 or so! Since we had missed Baby Girl's nap time, we all snoozed a bit before it was time to go to bed! It was a bit chilly for the kids to dress up in their Easter clothes so we had to change their wardrobe before heading out! The kids had fun and got to enjoy their Easter baskets from us, from their Lito/Lita and then tonight, their Aunt Kimby will be coming up for a short visit and she usually has at least 5 things minimum for each kid......so more Easter......(if she's not careful, she may spoil them by bringing gifts every time she sees them!) :o)

So let's see what else.....Baby Girl has been talking SO much that last night she was jumping on the bed and I asked her if she remembered "what the doctor said?" and then she would complete it with "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" Then she would jump some more and sing some more.....she knows that whole song and your actually able to understand her!

My kids are getting too big and smart.....we haven't started the potty training for Baby Girl yet (I think we're getting lazy with the 2nd one--so what if she's still in diapers when she's in high school!) "I totally gotcha!" That is one of Jonah's favorite little sayings right now.....he'll say something off the wall like "there's a zebra over there" and when you turn to look for the zebra, he says, "I totally gotcha!" And we play along with it......fun times!

So our next task, now that the taxes are done, is to get Baby Girl to stay sleeping in her bed all night! She's gotten into the habit of coming to our bed and wiggling her little way between Jason and I and we get little to uncomfortable sleep! And you already knew that she could climb out of her crib like a little monkey already! So we need to work on potty training and sleeping in your own beds! Wish us luck!!

Well, I guess I should go since I am at work and all (shhhh, don't tell my manager.) So until I remember to blog something special....keep up the good reading!
