April Foolin'!

J: Don't run out of gas, Mom! It's pointing at the zero. Don't run out of gas!
D: We have plenty of gas, JJ.

One child is like his father, one is like his mother.

Erm, C just muttered "I shall avenge the fallen" at his game.

Me: D, you need to put your listening ears on.
D: My ears are like this *covers ears*.

Watching the Grand Prix of Bahrain ~
D: YAAAAAAY RACECARS!!!

D: Which car are you in, C?

D: Oh no! Something is happening!

D: Can we play screen time?
Me: We'll see.
D: Mom, I miss you a lot of times.
Me: Love you too, D.
D: Did you miss me?
Me: Always.
J: I didn't miss you.
Me: Love you too, J.

D: Daddy said we could have candy!
Me: You did.
D: And Daddy said they were chewy cucumbers that are chocolate.
Me: I think he called them Kit Kats, but you can call them what you want.

D: MOOOOOOOM!!! I missed you so so SO late!
Me: I'm sorry I got home so late.
J: I didn't miss you.
Me: Way to keep it real, J.

Girl: What's your name?
Me: Megan.
J: No, she's just Jensen's mama!

Oooh boy... it's been a while.  Let's see how good my memory is.

(3/22) Work day for Dad & me.  I worked from home today, and really made good use of the time the kids were in school because ohmygoodness, work at home moms are my heroes.  

(3/23) Work day for Dad & I had the kiddos.  Took the twinsies to class today and they got to do their hop-a-thon to raise money for the school.  I didn't realize J was so adept at hopping on one foot.  D didn't want to, so J hopped twice.  And then they all got to hunt for eggs. 

(3/24) Work day for me.  It's so weird being in the office and actually being able to hear myself think!  Dad had the kiddos, and C had a short day at school, and then a dentist appointment.  I had a meet and greet with my volleyball team, followed by practice.  My arms are gonna be so bruised tomorrow. Yikes.  But it was a blast!  

(3/25) Work day for me, and Dad had the kiddos.  After I got home today, Dad and C went to a Tips playoff game.  Tips won 3-0!

(3/26) I went to Zumba this morning by myself, and then ran up to get the teenager.  She stayed with us this weekend, and even watched the kiddos so Dad and I could have dinner by ourselves!  We ordered Comic-Con costumes and are excited to go next month!  

(3/27) Hoppy Easter!  Dad had to work, but the kids and I were out the door early, before the bunny had quite finished at Granddad's. I managed to corral the kids until Nanan arrived, and then turned them loose.  They all had a great time and were on such a sugar high all morning.  I brought them all back home when they crashed and we all hung out in a daze until it was time to run the teenager home. 

(3/28) Work day for Dad and me.  I am working from home again part of this week.  Thank goodness for some uninterrupted work time while the kids are all in school!

(3/29) Work day for Dad and me, and school for the kiddos. We had our realtor over tonight to go over comps. Hopefully we can get to the actual hunting part soon! 

(3/30) Spicy (deviled) eggs for breakfast? Why not! Gotta use up all those Easter eggs.  I took the twins to preschool and then we came home for lunch.  C came home shortly after that, as they have conferences this week.  We went to his, and it was a kid-led conference.  He mainly wanted to show me his Lego building program.  He's doing great in class ~ strong in reading and math, and doesn't care much for writing.  I have a sneaking suspicion he'll change his mind on that last thing in time.  

(3/31) Work day for me, and Dad had the kiddos.  I had volleyball after work, and then went out with my team.  They're all really fun!  

(4/1) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys.  C was off early from school today, and planned a sleepover party with a bunch of friends. I had book club tonight, so left Dad in with a wild pack of video-gaming boys.  They were all really good, and I think they all had a fun time.    

 (4/2) One kiddo had to leave early this morning, so Dad got up with him and got him out the door.  Then I wrangled the masses into the car and took them all to the gym to meet the other kiddo's mom and go to Zumba.  After Zumba, Dad took C out birthday shopping for another party that he would be going to this afternoon.  Kid has a busier social schedule than I do!

(4/3) Pretty lazy day today.  The boys watched the Grand Prix, and then C went out to fly drones with the neighbor kid.  Then we got the bikes out to enjoy this beautiful day.

(4/4) Spring break time for the kiddos, which will make working from home extra fun for me!  Sarah invited C over to hang with them, so I had one less kiddo to wrangle.  Thank you!!! 

(4/5) Work day from home for me. I managed to keep the twins mostly distracted until C got home this afternoon.  We'll call it a win. Poor Dad was in appointment hell and had a cruddy day, but at least the day seemed to resolve okay.

(4/6) No preschool = Zumba time!  We met Sarah and her kids at the gym, then followed it up with coffee, which us moms enjoyed at the park while the kiddos played. We packed up shortly before noon and went up to Camano to take Nanan out to the beach for her birthday. It was beautiful out, and we had a lovely picnic. Capped off the night with a family movie.  J was so tired that he asked me to put him to bed before the movie was over.  Silly buddy.

(4/7) Work day for me, and Dad has the boys.  They're getting ready to go camping tomorrow.  Wish I could join them.
