Room Swap!

Wow, it's been a while since my last post. Life has been busy, and by the time I get time to sit at the computer and post, all I want to do is veg out.

Just the usual kid things here and there keeping us busy. We finally got Kasey's 2nd birthday pictures taken this past week. They turned out amazing! We haven't bought any yet, but when we do, I will be sure to post some here! We had a husband/wife team come to the house. I know the wife from MOPS and got a gift certificate for a free sitting. They brought everything with them, it was so nice! And easy! Now the hard part is going to be picking the pictures to purchase!

Courtney's behavior has been really kicked up recently. It's hard for me to believe that all of it is just regular 4 year old behavior. I am 90% sure that some of it is due to her "issue". So, we are currently looking for a new behavioral therapist. We may go with a psychologist this time around. It's hard trying to pick someone blind. So I have been contact everyone I know that may have a recommendation of someone.

Easter was good. We had a few cadets here that weekend, one of them came with us down to my parents house. Courtney got up early and was bugging us to get up and see what the Bunny left. She kept saying "oh, I can't wait to see what candy he left and look for the eggs he hid!" Too bad the Bunny didn't leave any candy or hide any eggs here at the house. The only saving grace was the fact that he did leave her the new movie Tangled. If that wasn't in her basket, it would have been a really long morning. The Bunny left a note saying that he hid their eggs at Nana and Papa's house instead.

So, after breakfast here, we headed down to Nana and Papa's house. Zak and Susan were in town, and we brought Grant down with us. The Bunny hid 43 eggs for each girl. Yes, each girl had to find 43 eggs. The yard was divided in half so Kasey stayed on her side and Courtney on her's. Kasey did a great job and found them all (with minimal help)! Courtney needed a little help on the last 3 or 4, so not too bad! They had all kinds of things in their eggs: stickers, quarters, jewelry, and other fun things, but no candy! But fear not, there was plenty of candy in their baskets from Nana and Papa. So, they did get Easter candy.

It snowed that weekend. We got a few inches on Saturday and on Sunday. Then we had a yucky weather week all week long almost. Thursday and Friday were a bit nicer. So, we were able to get in some outside time. BUT, we are back to getting some snow tonight.

My grass is starting to turn green. I already have some neighbors with that perfect velvet looking lawn that they have even had to mow! Makes me so mad... I want grass like that! I am going to try really hard this summer to get it that way! I have already started spraying Revive and our lawn guy has come buy to aerate and fertilize once.

Today we swapped the girls rooms. Courtney had started asking us to paint her room pink. We figured why do that when their is a pink room right next door. So, this morning we swapped all the furniture. Susan and Zak are going to come down in 2 weeks and help remove the teddy bear boarder in the room, touch up paint, and then put up a new princess boarder. Courtney's furniture looks so much better in the pink room, and Kasey's looks so much better in the other one! We should have done this a long time ago! I am going to make Courtney a pink and purple quilt for her bed, she just doesn't know it yet!

Well, it's getting late and I still need to shower due to all the cleaning I did today. Plus I am almost to the end of a really good book, so I want to go read some more! Hope all of you are well!
