Well it is the last day of the girl's Spring Break. Yesterday was Easter, Saturday was mine and Aaron's first year anniversary, and all in all it was a great weekend! On Saturday we all slept in for the first time in a while, and had a great big breakfast. Then, we colored Easter eggs! It was peaceful and good family time. The girls had so much fun that they didn't want to stop. They colored 17 eggs each and then went over them again. Here are some pictures of the fun.
After the eggs we packed the girls up and took them to Nanna's and Poppa's where they ended up getting all dolled up by my sister Mallory and she then took them to see "How to Train Your Dragon". Little did Mallory know, Autumn our youngest, is going thru a growth period. She is always hungry and always achey. Well, when you take her to a movie, fill her up with popcorn rather than actual food, she gets sick. And, she got sick alright. The popcorn bucket was an empty bucket before she got sick. This happened last time she went thru a growth spert like this. we took her to see "Hancock", it was the last 10 minutes of the movie, and I was covering her mouth and rushing her to the bathroom. But, none the less, they had a great time with Aunt Mallory.
Later that night we went to my parents to pick the girls up and they were starting to color more eggs, this time with my cute nephews Nate and Taylor. They were tired and ready for bed but would not admit this. but you can see it in their faces.
After the second round of egg coloring, Elisha, my sister pulled out playing cards, uno cards and rallied up the family for some one on one and some group uno. In the mean time, I had received a text message from my neighbor Steph, asking if we were home because she wanted to bring us something. I tried to get home before too late but Aaron was stuck with playing Uno. We finally got home around midnight and we were all beat. We woke up early Easter morning to go have breakfast with my family at Mimi's and then do Easter Egg hunts at my parents house after. It ended up being a lot more fun than I expected. My dad, "poppa", was chasing around all four kids with the video camera while they hunted for the eggs. It was fun to see my dad light up just as much as the kids were. The girls ate so much candy on Easter that they are still trying to recover. Here are some pictures.
After the hunt, I got another text from Steph asking again if we were home. Which we were not. So, when we finally got home I text her back saying that we arrived, and to come over anytime. Stef came over with cupcakes in hand. I, myself, was in the kitchen making cupcakes as well. Side note: We usually have a mental bake off-well in my mind we do, it just always turns out that we are either trying a new recipe at the same time or baking some yummy treat at the same time. So when she brought over the cupcakes, I, of course, inspect them. I check to see how big they are, what kind they are and what frosting it has and with it being Easter and all, I look for fun decorations. Immediately I was jealous, furious, excited, cheerful, and teary eyed. The decor was half pink frosting and half blue. I screamed "Congratulations".
I am ecstatic about her new bundle of joy. I really am. I am thrilled for her. I am completely jealous of her, yes, which also brings in a lot more of emotions for me as well. Although I know my wonderful husband would do anything he could to help this situation but, as it is right now, he cant. It hurts him to see me upset about it, so I try to hold it in as much as I can, because I know that it upsets him too. I have to apologize to everyone who has been or is pregnant right now. My Sister in laws son and girlfriend, who just had a baby boy last Friday, were over at my sister in laws one night while she was having contractions. They were chatting it up about things to expect, things that have happened to them, Aaron even joined in and was talking about the girls when they were new born. I had to leave the room because I was crying. I couldn't go to her baby shower due to the fact that i would probably just end up leaving 5 minutes after I got there. Another example, This morning, my boss's wife came into the office, she is due in 3 weeks, I love this girl, she is so fun to talk to and a great smile, I actually wish I knew her better. But, anytime I have seen here during these last couple of months or whenever her cute husband sits at work bragging to me about her, I cant look at her because I cant run in the other room crying when I am at work...So, when Stef came over last night to spread the happy happy news, I wanted to literally run out the door and into traffic. She is the closest thing I have to a best friend other than my wonderful Aaron, and she lives next door, so I see her everyday. Im not sure how I am going to be able to handle this but it might involve some avoidance. However I still am very excited for her!
(this did have another 3 paragraphs but it sounded like a pity parade, so i deleted them)
Wow ok. End of story. Sorry for the babble. Thanks for listening. I did say beware in the title.
