A new family.

I came home from work early yesterday... probably about 11 am. I have had some kind of crud that is going around. Anyways, I really enjoyed my time in the house. Dave was here -on and off- and about 1 something he left to go drive a bus.



I got some rest. And I did some laundry. And some dishes. And listened to some music. And took some cold medicine.



Right before 2 pm, I was at my kitchen window and I thought I saw people outside.



So I looked. And I did see people outside.



Then, I moved to another room. And I still saw the people outside.



And I went to another room. And they were still there.

There was a guy and a kid playing in my yard!


So I went to the livingroom, looked out the window to watch them freely roaming... and I got my camera and took a picture.



This makes me wonder how many days that they have taken advantage of my nice yard? And, mind you, when I first spotted them them, they were thisclose to my kitchen window. When I spotted them out of room #2, he was looking around from side to side to see if anyone was watching.



So, I guess with a new house, I get another family too.



Here they are with
"our" dog Harley.

More "peep" in the bird.

I know this is a terrible picture. But, this is an experiment.



Emma and I bought peeps at the store on Sunday. We had a hard time deciding which to buy... should we get chicks or bunnies? What color? Pink, Yellow, blue or purple? Big packs or little packs?


So, finally we decided that we should do LARGE packs... and She got the purple bunnies while I settled for the blue chicks. What everyone needs to know before I go on is that I, along with Emma, am a lover of peeps. I eat a whole row before I get out of Walgreens parking lot. And, last year, before we had Walgreens, I would drive to Walmart to find the freshest peeps.


After we got home, we were going back and forth between eating bunnies and chicks... I realized that you get more "peep" out of the chick. I think it is it's fat little belly that gives you the most "marshmellow."


I am going to check the back of both boxes to see if the chicks have more calories. FYI - there is about 25 calories for each peep. And I don't care. I would rather be fat that do without my Easter peeps.



On to more pressing information- Bob the Builder and Batman came downstairs Sunday night INSTEAD of Emma and Tripp in pajamas.

Weekend Capers.

Spring is coming!!

I picked a nice vase of Easter Flowers a while ago... Ah, the temperature is starting to warm up. I can't wait!

I am on spring break this week. My kids are on next week. It is time go stay outside and play. They are tired of being in the house. So am I.

We have had a busy weekend. I got alot of housework done on Saturday morning... but you can't tell it now. I did not get laundry finished. And, it is too late to do it now. My desire is gone. It won't return till next Saturday morning.

Pa's birthday party went very well. He seemed suprised. And I guess he liked having all the kids together.

Soccer season starts soon. Eli is playing middle school soccer, Emma is still in ballet and tap AND is playing girls six and under softball *grandma is coaching*, AND Tripp is playing soccer and baseball, too. This will be a busy season, that is for sure.
