Easter ...

Got up at 6AM to my boys begging me to go downstairs to see if the Bunny came.Tanner saying what a great mom I am(charming huh?LOL) The bunny was up until midnight making an egg casserole, hiding eggs, getting the sport Easter baskets together and watching the beginning of "30 days of night" (NOT AN EASTER MOVIE FOR SURE) the bunny is tired and wants to sleep but also has two big breakfast casseroles to finish making for 8 am brunch/service.. The kids found 18 plastic eggs and 7 real eggs(here in Oregon i gave up on hiding the eggs outside unless it's not raining)after the egg hunt they were fully absorbed in the Nintendo DS games they had gotten from the Bunny. ( the bunny splurges now i guess, i only remember candy and a stuffed bunny and i was jazzed with that.

1. CHURCH EXCITEMENT!!!!!
   

Church was great i love the holidays because you get to see so many people at service. we had a huge brunch of ham, fruit, casseroles, pound cake and pancakes. While Jake was biting into a bagel his front tooth came out... It was ready to come out Thursday during Maudy Thur. service and i told him Sat. to wait one more day because the Easter bunny may run into the tooth fairy that night and all heck will break loose. i do not want to wake up to fairy dust and bunny fur because the two got into a tiff on territory. he thought that was funny.. now i have a toothless boy:) after service and brunch the kids yet again had another hunt for eggs. and even though the bunny did everything in her power not to get them candy money is good, it didn't do much good. they have plenty of candy to last a year and just think i threw the rest of the Halloween and Taiwan candy they got from dad just the other day.
the rest of the day is for rest and maybe a quick run....but i am doubting that because i am so tired and have early 5am class Monday..Happy Easter Everyone!!!!




The good behavior wore off throughout the AM and they were back to there irritable selves when they don't get there 10-11 hours of sleep(yes that's right these kids sleep, and it doesn't matter if they go to bed at there bedtime of 8-9pm or if they get a PASS night and stay up late, they are always awake by 6-7am no matter what.). Tanner complained only to me of course about helping in the kitchen they just wanted to get home and play there new games... and then they wonder why i haven't bought them Wii yet. and they wonder why i wont get cable..They would never leave. Believe me i understand the excitment of getting a gift and then not getting to play it beause you have to be somewhere, maybe the bunny should have waited until after church to leave goodies.. just a thought for next year.







Sat. Jake had his regular baseball practice and then the coach told us we can come to the batting cage from 1pm-1:30pm. It was Jake's first batting cage and he loved it. The kid is fully submerged in baseball now, and although it is my least Favorite sport, i absolutely love watching him, he's really into it and loves to play. he did pretty well at the cages and was on a roll the second time up hitting one after the other. he hits toward third allot. He always wants to wear his mariners jacket now and it's baseball this baseball that.
Since Tanner, like me doesn't like baseball he is doing Track for the first time, he's serious about his training schedule that they gave out for spring break and wants to build up his speed on longer distances. He says he just wants to run. The practices run from 3pm-5pm which means i don't see him until dinner. Mon-wed he eats on the run and off to Tae Kwon Do at 5:30. band on Thur/Fri before track. He wants to do this, he says he likes being busy on the weekdays but loves to kick back on the weekends.. I figure it's okay as long as the grades stay up and your homework gets done which he rarely has anyway.
