A Sunny Easter

We had a great Easter.  Miraculously, the weather was beautiful!  I mean, seriously, there are 4 days a year around here that one can pretty much GUARANTEE bad weather:  Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and...Easter.  But today, it was sunny and in the high 60s.  We were actually able to have our egg hunt outside!  Woot!

Anyway, the day started with us (Hubby and I) getting up around 6:30 (ugh) and showering, getting dressed/ready, etc.  At 7:50 the girls still weren't up, so I woke them up which was going to be hard until I mentioned the Easter baskets that were waiting for them.  They were so excitied.

Happy to get a Jessie (Toy Story) doll

She really wanted a recorder, for some reason

After Easter baskets, it was a mad rush to get to church, but for once we were not only on time but had time to spare.  We went to the 2nd of 3 services, and for the 3rd service I was supposed to help in the girls' sunday school class but they were overstaffed so we were able to leave early to head up to MV to my brother and sister-in-law's house.  The girls just love getting together with their 2nd cousins and they had so much fun playing outside on the tree swings and their outdoor playhouse.  It was a fun day.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
