So We survived Easter again.. it was fun, we had a VERY busy weekend with pinewood Derby on Friday, a Ward breakfast on Saturday and Hunter also had a birthday party all day Sat then of coarse Sunday...
But I can usually tell my stress level by how motivated I am to over manage or remember the little things.. I forgot my camera on pinewood derby night and it was a momentous occasion it was our very LAST pinewood derby FOREVER!!! that's right folks, the Fox boys have moved forward it's definitely a new era, Hunter will be out of Cub Scouts in just a month meaning we will no longer have ANY Cub Scouts their fore no Pinewood Derby, I might shed the tiniest of tears but I'm too busy doing cartwheels over this news!!! but I forgot my camera I failed as a Mom to document this moment in time for Hunter and our family.. I'll probably get over it..
I also took a good amt of pictures when the kids decorated eggs (at 9:30pm because that's when Hunter got home from his party) I even took pictures of the kids diving into their baskets BUT I didn't take any pictures of them in their fancy Easter duds going to church, nor did I take pictures of KayLea and her ABSOLUTELY adorable HUGE curly hair, she FINALLY slept all night with sponge curlers (we have tried several times but she always rips them out before the night is over) and her hair was a liking to Clown hair.. she cried and cried when I told her we had to brush it down so make it "lower" she understood i think but still was certain I was plotting to get rid of her curls.. You'll all just have to take my word for it that it was adorable and VERY curly.. maybe I'll convince her to do it again next week so I can "re-create it" to put in my scrapbook which I'm way behind on anyway...
Am I the only one who frets over how much candy vs. clothes vs. toys to put in the kids baskets??.. there are years I forget what I've gotten and keep buying candy.. this year I kept going back and forth "do they need a chocolate bunny" Ben reminds me NO that is ALWAYS a mistake.. they can never eat it in one setting and we have broken chunks of yucky chocolate ground into the rug I resisted but have some guilt I think...
On another Easter RANT I discovered i LOVE sweet tarts.. it's only Easter when they shape sweet tarts into bunny's and rabbits.. they even have gummy sweet tarts the kids even noticed that they had far more sweet tart related candy than chocolate (i don't really care for chocolate)... but this year I was so disappointed it seems as though they have omitted the Yellow in most (not all) of the sweet-tarty goodness.. I'm sitting here right now snacking on a bag of chick's ducks & Bunnies and not a yellow in the bag.. only pink purple and blue, i feel gipped!!! and there sure are allot of blue's YUCK! I need to be able to buy a bag of just Purple and Yellow (and MAYBE the occasional green which reminds me there isn't any green anywhere either) could the sweet tart company use some of Obama stimulus to bring back the yellow and green?? is it budget cut backs or layoffs perhaps the person who holds the yellow and green recipe was laid off.. well I"m here to tell you i purchased enough Sweet tart products to be able to bring back that guy!!!
So My Internet connection is kind of crappy right now (seems worse than usual) so I'll have to wait to post pictures of our Easter adventures (except of coarse of KayLea's cute curls)...
That's all for now
