Eggstravaganza!

D: Poop lakes have poops in them, and poops are disgusting.

Me: J, stop, please. You're giving Mama a headache.
D: Mom? You can have a headache in your hair.

D: Mom? Mom? Mom?
Me: Nope, no more. Mom's all done.
D: Stop saying that word! It's not an option!

D: Oh no! Our tree-house is shiny on the outside! (frost)

J: Mom, I just need to be Batman. I just need to be. Please? Please?

D: What the upside-down city?!

(3/11) Work day for me, and Dad had the kiddos.  C got to go to a play with Nanan tonight at the Children's Theatre.  Lucky boy!


(3/12) Last hockey practice for the twins today.  They both got up on their skates reasonably easily, and when I went to put D on the ice, he no longer sinks into a puddle and will actually stand up!  Yahoo, boys!  They got medals for completing the season, and we'll be shadowboxing their first jerseys. C had his last game and team celebration today too.  C was called the team's "stout defender" and earned an Academic All-Star Award.

(3/13) We went to a very aptly named "puddle party" to celebrate a couple of kids' birthdays today.  We managed to score about 10 minutes of sunshine before the rain and wind machine turned on so high that we had to make a run for it.  C and I had a rough morning, and he kept taking off at the party.  Apparently it's too much to ask for him to a) do his chores, and b) do them right.  Such a mean mom I am.


(3/14) My very sweet hubby had to work OT tonight, and arranged for pie to appear for Pi Day.

Me: Everybody say "Yay Dad!"
Everybody: Yay Dad!
D: That was the new dad.

Apparently D picks new parents by who brings him dessert.

(3/15) Work day from home for me.  Our internet was all screwy at home, so I was forced to work from Starbucks for the morning. Total twist my arm moment.  Thankfully, it was back on by the time I brought the boys home from preschool.


(3/16) The twinsies had a field trip at the Kangaroo Farm with their school.  It was so cool to get up close to pet and feed the animals! D was absolutely enamored with the chickens.  He tried to chase a peacock too, which promptly told him off.


(3/17) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys.  The littles had a dental appointment today and did great.  The power went off in my building, so I headed home and worked from there.  It came back on a few hours later, but I'm glad I went home instead of waiting around for it to come back on.


(3/18) Work day for me, and Dad had the kiddos.  I forgot my lunch at home today so got a visit from my boys in the office.  They were out getting the oil changed and were sort of in the area.  From there, they headed out to scout out a bunch of neighborhoods, to which we're considering moving.


(3/19) House hunting for us today.  We checked out a few places, and stopped for lunch at a fish 'n chips & burger joint.  J was so excited when he heard the word "chips," and was supremely disappointed when his chips turned out to be fries instead. The twins hardly ate... Sometimes they do, and don't stop eating, and others we wonder why we bother.


(3/20) Fun day today!  I took the kiddos to the gym and then picked up the teenager so we could go color eggs at Grandma & Granddad's!  With six kids, it was chaos, but the kiddos had a blast!  Fun to see my brother & SIL too!

(3/21) Work day for Dad and me, and the kiddos have school.  I'm working remote again this week, which makes things interesting.  Luckily the rugrats are away at school for a little bit.
