* I was gluttonous on my birthday. My mom took care of my boys during the day and I got a massage. And I didn't feel one bit guilty about it. It was blissful. Then I got my eyebrows waxed- not so blissful.
* After trying to make the children forget about the dying of the Easter eggs for a whole week, I finally caved and said that we could do it on Saturday morning. I'll admit that I had to type "How to boil and egg" into google. Beyond sticking it in water, I had no idea how long it was supposed to sit in the water. Remember- I don't eat eggs that can't have the squiggly thing pulled out of them. We now have a whole container of hard boiled eggs that look like this...
...because mama can't stand the smell of vinegar we don't keep it around and I forgot that it is a necessity for dying eggs. I went to three convenience stores looking for vinegar before I just gave up and told the kids that our eggs were remaining purists. So we struck out. BOO! #parentingfail
* Instead, we hunted eggs of the plastic variety with the cousins after church. (Inside- because we've had 300 feet of rain in the last week!) The kids had a ball!
* My kids have gotten really into playing Mario brothers lately. Lucky for them I spent hours as a kid blowing on my nintendo cartridges and playing Mario. I still have my touch and the children think that I am the bomb dot com for being able to defeat the dragon. I love that stage where they are still young enough to think that mom knows everything. Wonder how much longer I have til that jig is up?
* Miles came up with this dance that makes him scream "hot dog" the whole time he's doing it. He has taught the others to hot dog as well. Today I leave you with the hot dog. Lucky you.
