Ok the weather is NOT co-operating!!! But I did find a new way to find old friends and keep in contact with people – Facebook. I am in under Lisa Reinsch-Johnson, look me up and send me a friend invite. I am even able to link this site to is so when I update here it shows up there. I managed to hunt down a college friend (Ally) and had friends of ours from college contact me – Layne and Dee – who just had their first baby in February – Adelynn – so I am now working on their nursery gift. I found someone who I think I went to high school with but am waiting to see if they write me back. Something new to play with at the very least.
Ken is off to the city and Alan’s over night lan birthday party Friday afternoon. So I am flying solo Friday evening, night and much of Saturday. With all the snow on the ground we are probably going to have to stay home. I am thinking I will bring out the paints and stickers and any other things I can think of. We have all gotten rather stir crazy here. I was getting used to a minimum of one walk a week out and about – even with Emanuel on my back. At least by Sunday it should be nice out again.
The twins had a blast at my mom’s last night. She had them there past when they usually are and they wore her out! They decorated Easter eggs, had baths, played with stacking blocks and just generally ran wild. They came home so tired out they willingly climbed into bed! Though they are STILL messing with the dresser. Nap time again today has been a stress. They can be falling asleep at the kitchen table and perk right back up the moment you get them in their bed. UGH…
We went to buy a potty last night and everyone was SOLD OUT. Figures… I have seen them around for the past month but Ken wanted to wait so finally when we go to get one – none there. We didn’t see any trikes at Zellars, Sunday after Easter lunch we are going to Walmart to get summer clothes for the twins (and a t-shirt for Emanuel – otherwise he has enough with the out growns) and we will price out trikes then. I am planning on checking out the marked down Easter craft supplies when we go out shopping on Wednesday – get some cheap stuff for next year. I want to start doing that for all the holidays. Gotta save money and cut corners where we can. I would love to get our smaller credit cards paid off soon.
Emanuel is doing so well – he is signing more, eat, all done… trying to say more and up… he is walking like a pro (still falling down though) and trying to get right in there with his big brothers. It is like we blinked and our baby was all grown up! Ok maybe not ALL but more grown up!
So Sunday is Easter and church and before that I have my two days alone – so if you are in the neighborhood give me a call and come by. I am sure I will be more than ready for some company not long after Ken leaves! I really need to take some time tonight and get that gallery of the kids in the pool up here and update our family site – be sure to check them out after this weekend. I am hoping we can get a couple of nice pictures of everyone dressed nice for Easter as well and Walmart says I should get my pictures by Tuesday of Emanuel! FINALLY!!
