Easter Egg Hunt

This morning we had a Easter egg hunt in our neighborhood. Here are a few pictures of the girls. There are many new posts, so make sure you scroll down the computer screen!

Before & After

Lindsay was wearing a shirt that was too small. After Katie took this picture, she asked Lindsay to fix her shirt. The second picture is after Lindsay fixed the problem! :-)

PLANTING

We planted some white and purple plants to liven up the yard. White and Purple for University of Washington!!!!

Daddy's shirt sleeves

I had my first Church league basketball game on Tuesday night. I needed a shirt with no sleeves, so after cutting off the sleeves, I gave the sleeves to the girls.

Disney on Ice - Princess Wishes

Lindsay and I saw the Disney Princesses on ICE last Saturday! We went to the American Airlines Center in Dallas. This is the same arena where the Dallas Stars and the Dallas Mavericks play their games. LOTS OF FUN!!!

Easter Started Early

Today the girls got a package in the mail. Here are a few pictures.

Thank you Mom.

WHATS UP WITH HEAVEN?

Date Night?

Lance had planned a long awaited date night for us last night. Something that he planned about a month ago. So there was much anticipation for me the last week. Before the date, Lance had to go up to Shawnee, OK for a day of meetings and was going to be back just in time for us to go out. The girls were set up to go to our friends and neighbors the Maddock's. Lindsay was equally excited about that. Anyway, at about 5:30 Lance called and said he was stuck in the little town of Coleman, OK with an oil pump with no pressure. I researched and found that the nearest VW repair was near Dallas so he had it towed 100+ miles and got a ride from the tow truck to Melissa. Needless to say Date night didn't happen.
Normally, the story would end there and it wouldn't be much to blog about except we aren't done. Lindsay and Leslie were in bed and asleep by the time Lance got home. I went to sleep shortly after and slept good until about 12 am when I woke to him yelling and both girls crying. He had Leslie who had vomitted her entire dinner on him and Lindsay had been woken by the crying and yelling and was scared, we thought. Soon both girls were vomiting. So we cleaned them up and put them to bed, sat in the media room and 20 minutes later we were doing it all again. At one point we actually had both girls over the toilet taking turns. We decided to sleep in the guest room so we could have a quicker shot at the rooms. It became a guessing game as to who was pathetically calling for us because they both sounded the same and usually when one would start, the other would not be far behind. I can't count how many times we did that last night but the last time was at about 7:00 am and I am not totally convinced that it is over even 7 sets of pj's and 4 sets of sheets later. Lance and I decided we have NEVER had a night like that, not even with itty bitty babies waking up all night to feed. This takes the cake! The good thing in all of this is that I think we now have both girls trained in leaning over the toilet so as to attempt to save their pj's! :-)

A bonk on the head.

Leslie gave momma a little scare yesterday. She was standing on a chair in the kitchen and somehow (I didn't see the fall, just the landing) she managed to knock the chair over and she landed face down, noggin first on the hard tile floor. Normal bonks are not a concern usually, she has fallen on the tile before. But this time, the expected reaction did not come. She sucked in her breath for a big wale and it really ended up sounding a little more pathetic. Then the crying didn't stop, she wouldn't let us put her down, and she tried to close her eyes and fall asleep (nowhere near nap time) and her personality just disappeared. So, I walked her around and made sure she didn't go to sleep. I called the pediatrician just to get advice on what to look for. Before they could call back, she vomitted her breakfast. I know that is not a good thing after a bonk on the head so I called again and they told me to take her to the ER for a CAT scan. So after a little tears on my part I called Lance and had him come home. No sooner than we got Leslie in the car, she bagan to act more like herself again. She was playing peek a boo and giggling and smiling again. So we called and were able to get her in with a nurse at the ped instead of going to ER. We just kept watch over her through her nap and through the night. She is doing fine, other than a purple little knot on her head. After an hour ordeal, I am very glad that it was nothing serious. Whew!

Copy Cat

Lately Leslie will do anything Lindsay does. This can be funny but also a problem. Lindsay puts on a dress, Leslie needs to put on a dress. Whatever Lindsay has, Leslie must also have. Lindsay makes a funny sound with her mouth, Leslie tries her hardest. She so wants to be 3 1/2 like her sister we call her a 3 year old trapped in a 1 1/2 year old body. We all know that 3 year olds don't always do what they are supposed to do, so of course, Leslie follows Lindsay into this disobedience. We had our first group spanking yesterday. I came out of the bedroom and see Lindsay and Leslie each standing on a kitchen stool. They both know that is is a BIG NO NO. Leslie will stand and climb on anything anyway, so to see her big sister standing on the stool, she thought that was pretty cool. When I came around the corner, both girls squatted because they knew they were in trouble.
Monkey see, Monkey Do, Monkey Get in Trouble Too, has become our new motto in the house.

Lindsay's Puppet Show

Lindsay and I (lance) played with some puppets tonight! Lots of fun and I am sure more pics to come.
