What have we been doing?

I know you are asking what we have been doing...a few days have gone by since I wrote anything. Hmmm let me see. Lauren had Cheer try outs again for the 2010-2011 school year. She made Varsity again!

My dad and step mom came into town. I can say it was a great visit as always but it goes way to fast. We love when they come to visit. It is kind of funny but we have to hide it from Nick because he gets so excited and will not stop asking over and over when he will be here.


Yes the girls still color eggs. I will let them forever!


Easter came and I became irritated over the fact it is so commercialized. Here is how it happened. For about a month every time Nick wanted a toy or something we would say maybe the Easter Bunny will get it. Then 2 weeks before he fell in love with a Spider man big boy bike. I told him "no you have to ride your other bike without training wheels before you get a new bike." He immediately said I bet the Easter Bunny will get it. I didn't put to much thought into it. He had also been talking about Toy Story movies so it was no biggie.
So a few days before Easter I went to buy everything and got Toy Story 1 and 2 and thought nothing of it. I also bought Ashlynn a cute little tricycle. Terry came home and said OH MAN we are going to have one upset little boy. I kept saying no I don't think so. Well the night before Easter Nick was still talking about this bike! I started to panic. I kept thinking HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? So then I was mad. Mad at us for saying for weeks "maybe the Easter Bunny will bring it" and mad about the fact they I bought Ashlynn a trike. So just to keep "the peace" we did not give Ashlynn her tricycle. Owe well, next year we are going to do it all different. Oh yea in case you are wondering...he never mentioned the bike because he was to excited about the eggs all over the yard.
