Egg hunt at Stacy's








The kids always have fun at Stacy! the only thing I'm bummin about is how few pics I took, which I just realized when I downloaded them! Ethan kept saying "I won, I won" he was so happy! The other boy in the picture is Anthony D.(Disenger) as Maddi calls him. Anthony and Maddi are in Kindergarten together and Anthony is Stacy's nephew. Maddi says that Today they decided they are married, so now Anthony is her boyfriend. go figure that logic, but cute none the less. It was a nice day (minus the wind).

one of thier absolute favorite traditions! we got this egg coloring kit free out of the bee movie that we bought for christmas. cant beat free!

Officially 30



yep its official! Maddi woke me at 7:20am (so much for sleeping in!) by jumping on me and yelling Happy Birtday! then her and the boys made me breakfast in bed. Mom and dad took me out to lunch at Subway. Scott got me a special ice cream cake! Mom watched the kids and Scott took me to Fashion Bug for cloths and then out to dinner at Cracker Barrell. It was a nice Birthday!

Miss Easter Bunny

 
Maddi wore these ears all day, she hopped around the house until her legs got tired. She's such a sweetie!

Mikey

 
My handsome little man with his new glasses. He such a good boy, really he is, he wears them with no complaining and tries his best to remember to put them on.
He tries so hard to do the right thing, but some people still misunderstand him. I am so stressed! Micah is having a really hard time at school this year especially with a particular person there. I dont know what to do, I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. Right now I'm thinking the best thing would be to take him out of school for the remainder of the year...but like always I just don't know what the best thing to do is. Before this year I was determined to find a house in our school district, but now I dont know if this is the best school for Micah or any of the kids. I was always under the understanding that the school and teachers were there for the student, to help them get the best education, support them and keep them safe......but I've learned this year that this is not the case, the school is for the school. And me, just me is there for my son. I feel alone and under educated, I sit at Micah's IEP meetings facing 6 educated people and I dont know what I'm doing most the time. I am overwhelmed with all the information that is out there, most of which seems like it is in a different language. I have done so much research, but I still feel left behind! I just need a break from all the chaos! As soon as things with Mikey seem to settle something else happens (like them taking his TSS worker). Sorry probly not the best place to vent......oh well its my blog no one has to read it if they dont want to, right?

Bailey's Birthday Party at the bowling alley






Bailey had Kyle over for the night and Micah went to Grandma's with Devin (so no fighting Yeah!
Bailey wanted to have his paty at a sports park or at home so he could have a football game with his friends, but all the sports parks we know of are closed and in April the weather is just to unpredicatable to have an outside party, so his 3rd choice was the bowling alley. He did have a lot of fun, he said thank you about 25 times. Bailey loved his presents he was so happy he got star wars guys, Art supplies like sketch pad and even blendy pens, a Wii music video game and other stuff.
All the kids love bowling, we should take them more often. I can't believe he is 11 now! I feel old just for that fact. It was a nice party!

More of my b-day pics






Thanks to everyone who came! I really enjoyed my day, you all made me feel special!

Cat beds




All the cats prefer our bed, but when they get kicked out they will go find someone to sleep with. This is the normal drill. Bob Jr. with Madeline, Big Bob with Micah (occassionally with Bailey) and Queenie with Ethan. We enjoy the cats so much I was so relieved when Micah's allergy tests came back and he wasnt allergic to cats, although he is allergic to birds and feathers!
