Easter!

Easter was a bit depressing this year. I keep wishing that both my little boys could be here with me and just can't understand why we got dealt the hand we have. But I am thankful to have one living child, he is the best thing to ever happen to us.

My mom came over this morning and gave little D a blue bouncy ball, it was so cute, I can't wait for him to be able to play with it. Then Doug, the baby and I went to go visit angel dougie. We made him an easter basket and got him a beautiful arrangement.

Then we were off to the in laws for dinner and dying eggs, we had a really great time. The kids had lots of fun playing together and so did the adults :)

Swim Class

On Thursday we went to swim class at Kids First Swim School. It was our second time but first time taking pictures! My mom came with my sister Kathleen and later Mrs. Connie came to see us play in the water. It was really fun. We all got dressed and were waiting around so my mom snapped a few good shots.

Here is Dougie, Little D, and I

and Kristen with Keira!

They finally let us into the water, we were supposed to be putting the kids on the noodle's but dougie decided he was going to steal them all and use them as a flotation device for himself as seen in the picture below...
We had an amazing time, we sang humpty dumpty, pop! goes the weasle, and ring around they rosey.

Shrimp Feast!

Hi everyone! On Saturday we went to a shrimp feast! It was kind of fun. We got there late and left early. My mom and Kathleen watched little Dougie and Mrs. Connie, Mr. Doug, Dougie and I headed to the party.




We got there and ate lots of shrimp, pasta salad, coleslaw, ect. Then the games started!!! They have wheels you can put money on and if your number comes up you win. I won a pot of flowers that I gave to my mom when I got home.

and Dougie won a bottle of Captain Morgan

It would have been a better night if the music was better to dance to, they played 80's music all night, it was horrible! It put me in such a bad mood because I love going there and dancing! Regardless, the others had fun tearin up the dance floor...

Saint Patricks Day!

Yesterday was St. Patty's Day. It was a busy day! My Mom came over for Lunch, we had spinach salad with chicken and mushrooms and added a nice sweet raspberry dressing. 4 points on weight watchers :) After that the baby and I went to the Picture People to get his 3 month portrait done and I dressed him up in his little shamrock outfit. I snapped some pictures before hand because he was soooo cute!

After the pictures were done we went and saw Pappy (my father) and spent some time there because we didn't see him on sunday like we normally do. Then Mrs. Connie called because she had Keira and wanted to go for a walk. So I headed over to her house and we went on a nice 20-30 minute walk around the community. It was colder than I thought it would be, but it seemed like lil D had a good time.

Finally we were home! I made a really yummy dinner, parmesean breaded chicken, sweet steamed baby carrots, and grilled asparagus! OMG it was so good!!! And only like 7 points! I had lots of points left over for snacks, which always makes me happy!

I also learned the meaning of the Irish flag this St. Patricks day. The orange is for the Protestants and green is for the catholics and the white is for the peace between them. Pretty cool!

Today was another gloomy day. It's raining. Dougie let me sleep in this morning by getting up with the baby at 9:30am when he wanted to eat. I got to sleep until 11:30am! Once I woke up I got a call from Mrs. Connie. We were off to Cracker Barrel with her, Kristen and Mrs. Hampton. I got the Chicken and Dumplings (5pts) Mashed Potatoes (4pts) and Green Beans (1pt), all for a whopping $6.99. That place is soooo good and cheap. Thank goodness it's so far away or else I'd be the fattest person ever!

After I got home Dougie went to bowling and my Mom and Kathleen came over. We played with Lil D for about an hour. I showed them how he plays in his bumbo. He was smiling so much!

March 14, 2008

Saturday I woke up early and went to the MD Home and Garden show again. This time I went with my Mom, Sister, and Lil D (of course). They couldn't go last time because they were getting ready for the baptism. It was a cool overcast day, but overall an ok day to go out and play.

First thing we did was eat because we got there right around lunch time! Kathleen got the crab cake, my mom got the roast beef sandwich, and I got a hot dog. I didn't realize the hot dog was 8 points when I ate it, lol.

The stands were different than last time which was nice so I didn't have to see the same things again. But I was super happy that the wine stands were still there :)

Another thing that was new was the Orchid Show! I've never seen such beautiful flowers before! I couldn't help snapping a few pics :)

I did a good few hours of walking so I got 4 AP's! That made me really excited because we were going over Mrs. Connies for dinner.

When we got there there was ham and pierogi's. Very yummy. Then we played a dice game, it was fun! Dougie won and I came in second. Keira and Lil D were there having a blast...well at least Keira was, Lil D's face doesn't seem so excited!
