Working Girls and Cutie Pies

Because life around here was becoming really slow-paced, I decided to find a job in the evenings. My place of employment:

Yes, I have joined the ranks of the working class again and am feeling good about it. They don't pay me in hugs and kisses, but cash is always nice. It makes for hectic evenings around here, or so I'm told; but we're making it work.
Hey, it's BOGO time til May 3rd, so get on in there and buy some cute summer sandals. You know you want to.

You know I was kidding about the slow-paced part, right?

Greg and I went on a double date last night with our awesome neighbors, the May's, and had a great time. We ate at 25 Main (though the guys said it was a chick's restaurant) and went and saw Date Night, with Steve Carrell and Tina Fey. If you are married and have kids, you will think this is hilarious. There is a little swearing and a sequence in a strip club that might make some uncomfortable (no nudity), but all in all, really funny.

Kids keep growing, even though we tell them to stop it. Since Easter was Conference weekend, we got dressed up the weekend before. As I've gone back and looked at pictures from Easter's past, I can't believe how much they've changed and how lucky I am to be their Mom.

Alive and Well

We've been busy living, freaking out at life, and laughing along the way. Mainly freaking out, but we'll paint a pretty picture for posterity.

Uncle Kevin was in town for a night on business and we had so much fun with him. We introduced him to Rockband, and the kids loved showing off for him. We wish we saw he and his beautiful family more, but we take what we can get!

The girls cut their hair. Hailey got hightlights and a trim, while Elise cut off three inches! I may be biased, but I think they look pretty cute.

Our Spring Break was really early (March 8-12), and it rained most of the week. Greg decided to whisk Hailey and Trent off to Vegas for the day towards the end, they were so bored. They toured the Forum Shoppes, and even got their picture taken in a Ferrari. (It turned out really grainy when I scanned it, so you'll have to take my word for it.) Here are some highlights:

Nana was here for a few days towards the end of break, too. It was so great to have her here, the kids adore her, and she them. She took us girls to get our nails done and the boys to buy a treat. She took the kids to their traditional breakfast at McDonald's, and all of us out to eat at Red Robin. Of course I didn't take pictures of the fun stuff, but did I managed to grab one of she and Hailey before she left, though.

Trent had his Pinewood Derby again and had fun. I don't know why I didn't get one of him with his car, but I have one of him getting his Bear rank that night and while he's waiting for his car to come down the track. The orange one is his.

OK, I'll save Easter for another post. I've been on here so long Rachel has forgotten who I am.
