Dad's Birthday & Derby

Out to dinner with my dad and family!

Playing Pie in the Face

Chris was working the Derby and we went to the lake with my mom.

Adley and I prior to her ENT appt!

Muffins with Mom at Daycare

She was not ready for me to leave!

Muffins with Mom is a BIG deal in Pre-K!

She was so happy! I had to arrive late so I could have muffins with Adley too.

I hated leaving them!

All of my Mother's Day goodies!

The 2016 Easter Stomach Bug Part 2

The next day... death becomes them. Chris and I were down for the count. Let it be known that my mom, dad, brother, and sister (all live under same roof) were also down for the count. They won't be volunteering to pick Adley up when she's sick at daycare anytime soon.

Kendall is the only family member unscathed!

The girls with their Easter baskets!

Our kids literally came to visit us all morning in bed.

Needless to say we did not venture out to any Easter Celebration nor did we enjoy lemon cake. However, by early afternoon I was feeling better (Chris was not!) so my dad came over and we had an Easter egg hunt for the girls in my yard. I also dressed them up in their Easter outfits so I could take pictures and they could wear them once.

I will be very happy to not EVER see the stomach bug again!

The 2016 Easter Stomach Bug Part 1

On the Wednesday before Easter I get the dreaded call from daycare. They tell me that Adley has been throwing up. I have like an hour left of school so I call my mom and she picked her up. (My mom is such a trooper, but she pays for this later! Sorry Mom!) Adley couldn't keep anything down.

The next day (Thursday), Chris stays home with Adley and she seems to be on the mend. Great, it must've been a 24 hour bug. Her daycare is closed on Good Friday so my parents agree to watch her since we both had school. Mistake #2. Sorry mom and dad!

Adley got sick a few more times that day and slept a lot that evening.

Fast forward to Saturday morning and I just feel off. When I start to feel uneasy, my first reaction is to not eat. Let's not feed the virus. So I popped a Zofran and took the girls to our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.

Can I get REAL for a minute? I thought I was going to S**T my pants at the Easter Egg Hunt. I don't know what I was thinking or how I would've hid it had it happened, but seriously my stomach was like a tornado. Victim #2

I wanted this to be a memorable Easter though. So I moved the laundry pile out of the way so we could dye eggs. Please notice the foldable table and chairs still up from Adley's 2nd birthday party that is still set up in my house. #hotmessmom4life

Adley and Kendall had zero appetite too. Adley seemed to be feeling better.

I'm feeling super bad at the point.

Soon after this memory (lol) I gave them both IPADs and laid in bed. That's all I had energy for at this point.

Later, I was still determined we would be attending our family's Easter celebration after church on Sunday. So I baked a cake.

And put curlers in Kendall's hair...

Stay tuned for Part 2!

Month of Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is my third favorite holiday. (Christmas - 1st, July 4th - 2nd) So we play it up BIG!

Kendall had to make a Valentine box, so Adley made one too!

At our school, the office posts everyone's' picture and we all write notes to one another. it's the staff love wall! Here was my selfie! I'm in my classroom here!

My sweeties in the morning! The mornings are so short and sweet, but I love this time with my girls! They are always so happy! Adley looks almost as big as Kendall here!
