An update... finally!

Ugh, I have such good intentions of getting this thing updated more often, but then things get crazy around here, and I don't get to! I was sooooo giddy this morning as Dawn chose me as one of her favorite blogs to read, so Dawn this update is for you!! LOL. Really, I was so happy that she enjoys reading the mundane things of my days here... She likened it to winning a "Blog Award" and so now i must get this update done so I can go get on my evening gown and write my speech. :)

Okay, before I share the cute Easter pictures, do you want to hear yet ANOTHER embarrassing lawn maintenance story???

Ok, the first guy that saw me in all my hair coloring glory, he was just hear to rid our yard of weeds and moles. While I was in NY Micah set up a time to meet another gentleman to price the mowing of the yard. As they chat they realize that Micah in fact knows the man's wife, and has done business with her before. I have in fact met her, she is extremely nice. So, they are chatting and the boys come running out sans shoes, and Micah says, "Sorry, I am a single dad right now. My wife is on a trip." This guy takes that to mean I have LEFT Micah. He gives him a pat on the arm and says, "You gotta hang in there man. Gotta stay strong for your boys now." Then he invites them to Easter at their house! (See, I told you the guy was so nice!) So, Micah does not want to embarrass the guy by saying no, you have misunderstood, etc. SO... This man thinks I left my husband and children! When I got back on Monday, they were here finishing the mowing, and he saw me come in the house. I went to hand Micah the checkbook, and let me tell you... the man was less than thrilled to see me. He gave me the death look, and when I introduced myself he begrudgingly shook my hand and barely spoke. He thought i was a RUNAWAY MOM!!!!!!!!!!!
So, now I have one lawn guy who thinks I am a freak with color on my head, and another who thinks I am a horrible mom... nice.

I told Micah he must clear this up with the man. Although now it may look less that believable!

Here are the Easter pictures... they may help prove my love for my children... :)

Emerson seeing the egg change color for the first time...

Lincoln masters the dipper...

Me and the Em... Yes, I look terrible. In my defense, we got up and did this in our pjs on Saturday morning.

The finished eggs.

Micah took this shot... Its like he has been reading some scrapping mags or something... :)

The Resurrection Eggs... they all have a little verse and some object to go along with the Easter story. The last one is empty and the boys loved it.
