A let me snap a few pictures of her when we got home...and yes, I did bribe her with CANDY!!
After the program, we went to go get food and ice cream since it was A's actual birthday. She wasn't too sure about being serenaded at Red Robin, but she liked the balloon and ice cream sundae!
Friday was our first play date with the sweet girls at Grapevine. We had the best intentions to go the Arboretum in Dallas, take cute pictures, and have a picnic. Due to inclement weather, we decided to go to the Dallas World Aquarium instead. When we arrived and saw a sign at the ticket window that read "757 school children are here today" we should have turned back...but against our better judgement and because we were DETERMINED to make the best out of the day, we pushed forward with our wagons and double strollers. I can't say we saw many animals or fish because the crowds were unbelievable...but I can say we made a lot of memories and the kids were angels!!! Oh well, we will try it again next week!

Get us out of this crazy place!
First of all, I just have to say that I admire all you hospital nurses out there. Granted y'all aren't up till the wee hours of the night writing care plans (for the most part) but these 14 hour days at the hospital are taking some getting used to for me! I now truly understand why nurses only work 3 days a week...because it takes the other 4 to recover!!!
In other news, I finally went to the dentist last week to take care of a tooth that had been bothering me for a while. It was a wisdom tooth but fully exposed so I thought he would just fill the cavity and I would be on my merry little way....two hours later I walked out of the office looking like a chipmunk to who prefers to store nuts on only one side. He yanked those teeth out immediately...and apparently they were causing more of a problem than I realized because other teeth were being effected. Oh, the joy. Needless to say, I have a few more trips to the dentist until all my problems will be resolved and the moral of the story is:DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR GUMS!!!! Preventative care is definitely the answer and now I am finally a believer!!!
Getting ready for the fun
To get ready for Easter, the two older girls went to the Easter Egg Hunt at our church. I didn't know what to expect, but they actually had lots of activities in addition to the hunt like a bounce house, arts & crafts, and cupcake decorating.
Because we are INSANE, Nat and I decided it would be fun for the kids to decorate easter eggs on Saturday to leave for the Easter bunny. It actually wasn't TOO messy. I am just glad they make that dye to come out of clothing and counters more easily than what they used to!
The Easter Bunny came to visit our house on Saturday night! He must have really liked the eggs the kids dyed for him!
Annaleigh's 2nd Birthday is TODAY! I can't believe my baby girl is 2 years old. She has her make-up school program tonight and her party is Saturday so I will share pictures from those soon!
A year ago....
Last week...
Ahhh...what a beautiful color....for the Caribbean ocean! I am not sure what the previous owners of this house had in mind when they painted the master bathroom this color but I can stand it any longer! I am on Spring Break this week so this is my project!!!
Please excuse the "bag-lady" chic look I am sporting. These clothes are what happens when it snows in Texas once a year and all your ski stuff is somewhere in the attic.
When we first got outside A was really apprehensive about touching the snow (or the ground for that matter.) Once she got over the initial shock, she had a blast.
