I'm trying...
So on top of starting to keep this updated on a regular basis, I need to get our photo site up to date as well. I have come to the conclusion that I have a problem. I take waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many pictures. Oh well.
Today we had our MOMS Club Easter/"Spring" party, held at one of the families' homes. It was definitely the best attended MOMS Club event I've ever been to, with a count of 17 moms (with an average of 2 kids each). We had lots of snacks, some crafts, books, an egg drop/hunt, and even a visit from the Easter Bunny himself. It was definitely nice to meet some new faces, and see some that we haven't seen in a while.
I made the kids wait when we got home to open up and go through their goody bags from the party until we got some stuff done. I REALLY needed to go through the snow stuff to see if it fit them, since we haven't had them out (playing) in the snow ALL year (SAD!!). Luckily it looks like we can make do with everything, but I've put out feelers to borrow some boots as the ones we have are not really the right sizes right now.
Afterwards, I asked Rachel to pick up her room (we've been working on trying to keep things at a minimum level of destruction on a daily basis) and she completely melted down because she wanted 'help' (which means she wants me to do it for her) and there was too much work, yadda yadda. Really it was just a bunch of dirty clothes on the floor, a bit of dress up stuff and maybe a couple of toys out, so it wasn't too bad, it just looked bad. She continued to carry on, then came down to say she wanted to lay on the couch to rest, which I saw as another ploy to get out of doing her work, so I told her if she was really tired, then she should take a nap in her bed, if not to keep working. A little more from her then she disappeared upstairs. Then her brother went to the front door and was tapping/lightly banging on the wall, so I asked him to (please) stop, so it died off pretty fast and got quiet. Well I look over and see this:
Then I realized how quiet it was upstairs so I went to check it out and found this:
I guess they were tired. Really glad I didn't let them have any of the candy in their goody bags before this event. Then Rachel got her room picked up in about 5 mins time when she woke up and all was wonderful in the world again (for now). We made some dumplings and green beans for dinner while Archie went to his running club. The end of another good day.
