Now it's been awhile

Well we have had a lot still going on. We had Easter, Ally looked so cute in her dress and Matt had a little outfit on. We went to my parents for Easter breakfast after church. Then on to John's parents where Ally got to take part in an Easter egg hunt. Seven kids and 250 eggs. Wow someone was busy. Matt has started waling and is all over the place now!Ally's school had their carnival this Friday. I volunteered and helped with the bowling booth. Tuns of fun. Each classroom had a basket theme and everyone brought something to "fill"t the basket with. Ally's class was "Italian Dinner Night" and we donated some super fun glasses. There were all kinds of baskets and I won the "Cozy" Basket. It had so much stuff in it. Four homemade fleece blankets, two girlie and two boy, a bucket of Red Vines, popcorn, a HUGE bag of pretzels, big container of hot cocoa, 5 pound bag of M&M's, a gift card for blockbuster, a gift card for pizza, two liter of pop and 4 tumbler's. Wow all this for one dollar!

The weekend didn't stop there, I purchased some boat seats for our boat for the super expensive cost of a 6 pack of beer! Then Sunday John got his truck running again, moved the boat from his parents house to ours, went and picked up Ally's new bed, fixed his machine...the list goes on. Ally's bed is a bunk bed with a desk and bookshelf. It is really cool and VERY HEAVY! I put her entire bed together all by my self and moved it from the garage to the bedroom. I am so proud, I hurt but who cares!? Now we are on to today. We got to wake up to Matt covered in his poop! So Mommy got to take a shower and scrub baby. John had to get Ally ready for school while I cleaned baby, stripped the bed, bumper, and water proof sheet and bleach the crib bars. When Matt gets poopie he likes to spread it around!!

It's been awhile

It has been a bit since I posted and I thought I would bring it up to date.

The weekend of the fourth John and I decided that we were both not going to work on Saturday. We disconnected and had a family day. We went on a picnic. We took Ally's bat and ball and worked with her on her hitting. We fished and Ally got one! Matt and I hung out relaxing. All was well until I had to go to the bathroom. Ally and I left and went to the little mart, that was fine but on our way back to our picnic spot a strange dog came up and started to bark at us. It's owner, a child about Ally's age, was trying to call it back. At one point the dog went to his owner I took that chance to have Ally RUN to John. Good thing too because the dog came back and started barking at me again. Finally the kid took the dog and left. We thought we were done. We were wrong. About 20 minutes later the dog showed up with a few more kids and an adult...finally. Well about an hour later the dog started coming around again and it was getting late so we decided to pack up and leave. John and Ally started taking stuff up to the car while I was getting Matt set. I started walking up with Matt (who was in the stroller) towards the car pulling the cooler. That stupid dog started circling me and barking. It got to be about three feet behind me and was starting to get more aggressive. John saw and was headed down to me, I got angry, any mother would when she thinks that her child is in danger, and pulled out Ally's T-ball bat. FINALLY the idiot owner came and retrieved his dog.
So we went home and I was shaken.

The week went on and last weekend was Easter. Yes I will have pictures up later. We did Easter at our home, went to church and then to my parents for breakfast. Later we went to John's parents and the kids all did an Easter Egg hunt. I was fun. When we got home I got busy with cleaning the house! Gotta love the energy!

Anyway, over all everyone is doing pretty good.
