My son and I are leaving shortly for swim lessons. It's his second session and even though he is only four he is already in level 2 1/2. He really seems to enjoy it most of the time and swims very well when he has a positive attitude. Ain't that the truth for everything? I've had a headache most of the morning and I think it has taken it's toll on my attitude. I'm hoping that watching swim class for a half of an hour will perk me up. Of course, the fact that I have to stop at Michaels on the way home is also a good reason to smile. I need some brown paper for a card I'm making. Perhaps, if I get it done I'll post pics of it later.

Just wanted to sit down for a minute and type out a Happy Easter to all my friends and family. We decided against traveling for the holiday. Three reasons...gas, gas and gas. My hubby is hard at work on the Ham, potatoes and corn we will be having later. It smells really good. Friends of ours are coming over and we should have a houseful (about 11) by 4 p.m.

Hope you all have a blessed resurection Sunday.

Ready for Halloween and heading to the birthday party. Hope you liked his many different looks. Be on the lookout for his girlfriend Talulah. My six year old thinks he needs a mate. LOL I really need to stop messing with this and do some laundry.

He he is ready for a day in the rain...what do you
think of those cute little boots?

My day started with the sounds of my children at 6:45 a.m. Then the sound of kitchen noises. Then "Oh no got get mommy." "We're sorry we spilled a lot of milk....all over the pictures we just brought home from school yesterday."

Great. Those spring school photos. The ones where you don't have to buy them as long as you return them. Those photos. The ones that will cost about $85.00 to keep both sets **Don't get mad, don't get mad...it's was an accident**

What a mess. I was hoping for a little milk and found about a half gallon. They are on the floor drying now but I'm pretty sure we're going to have to buy both packages. Wonderful.

Shortly after that my son and my oldest daughter started fighting over a toy and he threw a cough drop **no I don't know why there was a cough drop lyin' around** from the steps and hit her in the eye. I mean that's pretty good aim for a four year old. Now her eye is puffy and I'm not sure who was crying harder...him or her. Guess it's a good sign that he doesn't like to hurt people.

Little sleep and now we have swim lessons. Yippee. This is definately how not to start a Saturday.

How can it be Friday already? I'm happy about it but really, wow. This week flew by. March is half way over already. Seems my van is on the fritz...maybe it's not as big of a turtle fan as I am. Konked out shortly after I decorated it. Do you think it's a sign. Speaking of signs what is the gas price where you live? It's at $3.25 here and looking like it will be going up again before next weekend. Our family Easter plans may be on hold. To visit grandma or not to visit grandma that is the questions. Guess I'll have to find out if we have a working van by then. How did families do it with one vehicle. I mean I really don't know. They had one vehicle and seven kids and they seemed far happier a lot of the time. Do you think that was just medication? Kids helped their parents more then...mostly out of necessity I guess. I'm just trying to think about being at home, with no possible chance of leaving and having like a bus full of kids in the living room fighting. I'm not sure I could handle that. But my grandma had six; my dh's grandma had seven. They only had one car. How did they do that?? We had to squeeze all of ours into my dh's car tonight and they were so close together, they kept touching each other and kicking the seat. It was far from entertaining. You would need a bus to drive around 7 kids. Can you imagine the gas bill on that thing? How much was gas in 1947? I'm rambling aren't I. Who's reading this anyway.... I'm logging off and going to bed. Things will look brighter in the morning even with gas at $4.00--OUCH. Till next week...Happy St. Patrick's Day.
