Family 'Day'
We had a wonderful weekend. The fence is officially DONE! Tomorrow will be Ace and Lucy's first day in the backyard!! All of the weeds are pulled and the yard is mowed-good, productive weekend.
After working all weekend we decided to have Family Day today!!! (Okay, I decided it on my own) Anyways......
Family Day started at approximately 10:00. The kids were dressed and off we went. We had no particular plans, just to go to random stores or whatever.
First stop, off to PetSmart to get Lucy and collar and tag. I take Brynn to go look at all the animals and Justin picks out the stuff for Lucy with Sadie. We meet back, get the tag made, and off we go. No problems.
Next, we decided to run across town to see if this big liquidation sale was going on. (You must remember that my husband never rides in the car with both children unless we are going out of town so he is unfamiliar with how chaotic it gets). Of course the sale is not going on anymore and we have to drive farther to get to this little boutique I want to go to.
In the car, Sadie starts getting restless because it is time for her morning cat nap. Brynn starts in on her usual, "Daddy, look it's green!!" "Daddy, look it's red!" (talking about traffic lights). Now, if you do not answer her she just keeps repeating it louder and louder and even if you do she still repeats it anyways. After about the 10th time I see he is getting frustrated. Sadie is now full-on crying wanting her bed and Brynn is trying to crawl out of her car seat so that she can see out the window. We get her back down and by now Sadie has dozed off. Brynn decides to wake her up by screaming, " SADIE!! Wake up!!" Well, she's awake by now and screaming. Brynn then starts repeating, "Daddy, what doing?" "Daddy, what doing?" "Daddy, what doing?" (about 15 times). Justin is now sweating bullets of frustration. "Driving," he replies after each question growing more and more frustrated. Sadie manages to doze off again and we arrive at the boutique.
Brynn and I go in and leave Justin and Sadie out in the car since she was asleep. Well, 5 minutes later in walks Justin with a very mad Sadie. (the car had stopped and so she had woke up). We quickly walk through the boutique and leave.
Now, Brynn is hungry so we stop off at Sonic for some tater tots. Off we go again, heading to Home Depot. This of course sparks Sadie to decide she is ready to eat as well. Once again, Sadie is screaming and Brynn is yelling, "More tater tot!" (about 15 times). I notice we are not heading to Home Depot.
I asked Justin, "Where are you going?"
He replies, "HOME!!!!!"
Family Day ended at approximately 12:10.

Happy Mother's Day!!
The best picture I could get:
My mother has had a hard time over the last year since her accident and I pray everyday that she will someday be pain-free and able to do all the things she wants to do. She is an amazing women and an even better grandma!!!!
I am very lucky to have a special relationship with my mother and I can only pray that I will be that close with my two daughters as they grow up!!!
I LOVE YOU MOM!
(I think I set a new record for posting everyday this weekend!)
PS: This week begins "Shrek Week" on The Ellen Degeneres Show building up for it's release date Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Pasci Mystery
So, yesterday I was cleaning out Sadie's room and I went to clean under her crib and I found 16 pascifiers under her crib! I was shocked!!!!! Brynn did this as a baby and we never knew until we took down her crib. I couldn't believe Sadie did this too! I put them up on her dresser in a nice neat pile and we all joked about Sadie's 'hidden stash.' I go in there that evening to put her to bed and when I reach to get one from the pile..........no pasci's.......
Okay, I know I am not crazy. I look all around the dresser, in the toys, all over her room, in the living room,......nothing. Not even one!
I go into Brynn's room. I had just put her to bed about 10 minutes prior. Here is the conversation:
ME: Brynn
B: What mom
ME: Where are Sadie's pasci's?
B: White Dere ("right there" as she is pointing out the door)
ME: Okay, can you be a little more specific.
B: White Deeeeeeerrrrre mommy (very annoyed at my obviously stupid question)
ME: Get up and come show me where you are pointing at.
B: Okay mom
(she hops out of bed and marches right on over to Sadie's room, bends down, pulls up the bedskirt, and points under the crib)
B: White DERE mom!!!!!
(gets up, marches right back to her room, crawls into bed, and doesn't say a word)
I look and sure enough, 16 pasci's all in a nice, neat pile under the bed! Guess some habits never go away!

OUCH!
All in all out of all the potentially horrible things that could have come out of this we really got lucky. Thanks for all of the advice!
