While in Utah, I had a chance to get together with my college roomies. They aren't as wild and crazy as they used to be...there wasn't any dancing on beds to Soft Cell but then again, we all have four kids now. Maybe we have learned dignity or maybe it was just a public place. Oh, and thanks Jodi for reminding me to take off my glasses for the picture. I will be eternally grateful. I look hideous in my glasses. Case in point, scroll down to the Easter pic.
Yes, Kate is beautiful. I am not biased at all.
J is actually happier than he looks. He's in to pulling weird faces for pictures now. I hope it is a phase.
Hi, I'm Max. I don't wear shirts because I get them soaking wet. My mom says three shirts a day is my limit. I also have no interest in Easter, eggs or candy. I prefer to pull a chair over to the counter while my mother is not looking and steal her cell phone. I like to text "pfdjskl" 23 times to all her friends. I also like to call her friends. She wishes I would get some of my own friends, but it is hard to make friends when you don't like to share.
Sadly, this was the best shot. I get to wear my glasses for the next 10 days because my eyes decided they don't like silicone contact lenses and I have--to quote the doctor, "road rash" on my eyes. Besides hurting my pride to appear in these horrible spectacles, it hurts like----.
While in Utah, we visited the Children's museum.
It was a tough news day.
He may look cute but don't, I repeat, DON'T try and separate him from his cop car. He will fight back.
We also visited the Zoo. It was a zoo.
We visited the G.G.'s. Sorry, Kendra you got sacrificed in the search for a half-way decent picture.
Hayes cousins' plus one mom.
And my favorite reason to watch baseball. Actually, my only reason.
The ham is done and I forgot to cook the asparagus. I also forgot how to spell it. That's what happens when you stay up late at night and eat your kids easter candy. One for the egg, one for me. You get the idea. Look forward to angry diet-induced posts.
Okay, so I'm not the best food photographer, but you get the idea. I had fun with the kids tonight at dinner in honor of April 1st. The cupcakes are really meatloaf and colored mashed potatoes. Ella was so excited that I was serving cupcakes for dinner. She said, " You are the best Mom ever." Even Robert asked if the cupcakes had the kind of frosting he liked. Ella was so mad when she realized I tricked her. It took a little while for her to get over the idea that we weren't have "real" cupcakes for dinner. Kate kind of knew something was up and J thought it was great! I told the kids we were having a backwards dinner and so for dessert we were having sliders or mini-hamburgers. Kate kind of got upset when she thought there was mustard on her slider. As soon as she realized it was just frosting, she gobbled it up. I got a good laugh and we had a really fun dinner. Happy April Fool's Day!
