To Blog Or Not To Blog...

So, I'm guessing, because I'm really important and everyone is dying to know what I'm going to write about next, (AHEM...yeah right) you've noticed that I haven't blogged in over a month.

Here's the thing...I'm pretty sure that I'm not in love with this whole blogging thing. I think it's super fun to read the blogs of friends and there are a few that I'm even obsessed with...i.e...the sister-in-law's...let's be honest...she's hilarious.

I'm not a writer...in fact...I've decided that it bores me to tears. I would much rather be having a tea party with AC or playing cards with T.

So...

Farewell blogging world. The Friday family is out! Holla! :)

AC and I just had a fight over a trash can.

I walked in our bedroom to find her with our trash can (it just sits by the desk, waiting for junk mail...not too gross...but gross) on her head.

This is how our conversation went...

Me: GROSS! Get the trash can off your head!

AC: NO! I wan twash can on my head! Now she's running from me singing a song she's made up about said "twash" can on her head.

Me: Put the trash can down...NOW!

AC: Okay (in a sad pitiful voice) as she puts the trash can down.

Me: Put it back where you found it please.

AC: I wanna put twash can wight here.

Me: Anna Cate...

AC: EXTREME melt down...I mean baby llama, red pajama FIT!

Now, she's screaming in her bed.

Oh the joy of a 2-year-old princess!

A Smorgasbord of Sorts

It's been almost a month since I last blogged. (I know how disappointed you all must have been...HA!) Sorry, but t-ball has ruled our lives. It's crazy how much ball a 6 year old plays. It's definitely T's favorite sport and he's loving every minute of it. He's even been awarded 3 game balls...we're so proud of how well he's done! It's kept us very busy...fo sho!

I keep picturing my life in just a few years...when AC's around T's age. I think I'm always on the go now, but it's only going to get worse. AC's going to start dance next year and I'm sure that's just the beginning. I so did not picture myself being such a typical stay-at-home mom, but God did. I wouldn't have it any other way...not a chance! What a blessing to be able to be so constant in their lives...I know it makes them feel secure.

I never posted anything about our Easter. It was wonderful, of course. It's probably my favorite holiday...I love everything about it. We were in Prattville for the weekend and had lots of fun with my family. And, of course, we ate WAY too much. Hallelujah! Jesus is alive!


T and I having been begging, literally begging, Chad to let us get a dog. He FINALLY gave in. I found our sweet doggie on Craigslist. He had a great family, but they've been traveling a lot. It made them sad to keep putting him in kennels, so they decided to find him a new family...US!

Odie is a 3 year old beagle...so cute! He's absolutley perfect for our family, and although he's destroyed EVERY set of blinds in our house (Yay for me...I get new blinds), we love him. T and AC adore him and he adores them. Even when AC is pestering the crap out of him, he just sits there and takes it. He's such a sweet boy.

March Madness

We've been potty training AC and she's actually been doing well. She LOVES picking out her princess panties. She knows when she needs to go. Really, the only accidents she's had are in the bathroom when she can't quite make it to the potty. She's completely ready...I just don't know if I'm completely ready. Diapers are way convenient and I'm lazy. :)

What at big girl!

We had T's birthday party this weekend. Yes, I know he's been 6 for over a month. T and his best buddy Will wanted a camping party. We chose to have it closer to Will's birthday so the weather would be warmer.

It, hands down, was the best birthday party T has ever had! Imagine 7 boys and most of their daddy's doing what boys do. They played football and basketball, ate lots of junk food, made smores, had an Easter egg hunt using flashlights, and slept in a tent. Everyone even, somehow, made it to church this morning. :) So much fun!

Thank you Heather and Joe for having it at your house!

I took tons of pictures and it would take way too long to post them all, so...

this is all you get. :) Aren't they handsome?! I'm so thankful for T's friends.

Spring is finally here and with Spring comes Easter. Yay! Spring and Easter are my favorites! The beauty of God's Earth is unreal during Spring...love it.

A sweet couple in our S.S. class had a wonderful Easter egg hunt today. Best Easter egg hunt I've ever been to! The weather was perfect, the land was beautiful, and the kids had a ridiculous amount of fun. It was such a great day.

There was so much to do. They had an egg hunt for the little and big kids. T is an egg hunting pro and AC was adorable. She loved it, in fact she didn't put her basket down all day. The Easter bunny came...AC wasn't a fan! "No bunny! No bunny!...hey bunny." There was also face painting, cookie decorating, hayrides, and a bouncy house. It was so wonderful.

What a fabulous weekend! We're exhausted. :)

We lost our first game (bummer), but it was really close and our boys did a good job. Check out these action shots of T-Dawg...
