Springtime



It's been forever since I made my last post. Things have been crazy busy lately. I've been taking on extra projects for work and it has left me with absolutely no "spare" time. As if I had any of that to begin with, right? Anyway, it's just been one of those weeks with the kids. Most of the time, I'm very layed back and not much bothers me, but on this particular day, I just had a lot going on and none of it was going as planned. Carter had gone into the bathroom, this i knew, but he always closes the door and wants to be alone until he's finished so I was just leaving him alone. Meanwhile, both of the babies were teething so they were screaming and pulling at my pants all morning, both wanting to be held and neither wanted to be out of my sight. Skip to about ten minutes later. I decide to check on Carter because he's being extremely quiet and that's just not Carter. I walk in the bathroom to find that he has taken an entire can of air freshener and sprayed down every wall, the cabinets, the tub, the toilet, and the floor. By that time, I had been pushed to my limit. Not just by this, but a combination of events that same morning. I just stared at him and at my destroyed bathroom and was afraid to say anything and even more afraid to touch him. I was afraid I would say something I would later regret and maybe even hurt him (not joking: okay, maybe a little). I decided just to sit down on the wet floor and have a good cry. Carter proceded to sit down beside me, put his arm around me and said, "It's okay Mommy. It's nothing to cry about." Easy for him to say. Anyway, it made me laugh and all I could do was hug him. He just kept telling me it was going to be okay. I just love that little guy!

Well, I survived that day, but skip to today when I found Sawyer covered in coffee grounds he had somehow managed to drag out of the tall trashcan and scattered all over my freshly mopped kitchen floor. I really wish I had a picture of it but I was in such a hurry to clean it up so Addyson didn't get in on the fun. This situation I handled a little better. I am sure there are going to be lots more of these situations in the future. Some days are just better than others, I guess. They are still just too much fun!


We had a great Easter and Carter thoroughly enjoyed his Easter egg hunt. Matter of fact, we've had several more since then with all of his eggs. He's obsessed with me hiding them and him finding them over and over and over again. Which wouldn't be so bad, but he wants me to fill them with candy or money like Sue-Sue did the first time she hid them. We were able to have a big lunch with Casey's family and it was a great day overall. Easter morning was a little hectic since Case had to leave very early to usher for the first service. I was left alone to dress and feed everyone and it did not go very well as you can see from the pictures. The babies were begging for a nap before we even left the house. It was kind of funny, but not too much at the time.















The weather here has been wonderful so we've spent a lot of time working and playing outside. We were finally able to get our garden planted a couple weeks ago and Carter absolutely loved that. Every day he wants to go down and see if there is some corn that is ready to be picked. Poor guy, he has no concept of time yet. It's so funny. He and I spend a lot of time watering and pulling weeds and checking on it everyday. The babies are content to sit in his gator and play or crawl around in the dirt. Last night, I found Addy with an entire mouth full of dirt and she screamed when I tried to get it out. She just wanted to sit there and chew on it. Gross, I know, but I don't guess it will hurt her. She must have some kind of deficiency she's trying to make up for. She's so funny. It amazes me that the twins have such different personalities. Sawyer is very high strung and is always laughing and talking to everybody he sees. Addyson just sits back and watches him and gives dirty looks to you. She can be so sweet though. She is content to just sit in my lap and do nothing. She would do it all day if I let her. She loves to be with her Mommy and I adore it too. I never imagined I would love having a little girl like I do.

So life is busy but it's a wonderful life and each day is something new to treasure and enjoy.
