Very odd title, I know...but since I last posted there have been way too many things going on, therefore way too many things to blog about. Every morning I plan to blog after the kids go to bed and every night I am so dag blasted tired, I just want to sit and veg. If anyone has any ideas on how to get my adorable three year old to sleep in his own bed the entire night through, I would greatly appreciate it. He has been at it for three months now, so my night consists of waking, taking him back to his bed, laying there waiting for him to re-enter my bed and repeating this cycle at least three more times. Ok...back to bunnies...These are the cute chair covers that we made this week! They were really easy and the kids had a blast making their own bunny face! I planned on doing all ten chairs, but ran out of steam...maybe next year we will finish the other six! I looked for white pillow cases, that would have made the project even more simple, but couldn't find any. I ended up just sewing these. You can get a template for the face here,
Onto our shaved dog...I took the dog to the groomer this week...I have before and after photos....

AFTER
The kids think that Kaya looks like Bolt...Tad things that he looks like a girl squirrel...oh well, I am just happy he won't be shedding as much now!!!

Two seconds....that is all the time Trey needs to destroy, create, or make a mess....The day Tad was coming home (after 10 days of being gone)...Trey discovered my huge (well hid) permanent marker (you know the big ones for writing on boxes) and did this to himself....when asked why, he said...(in a loud, make mom realize how important this moment was to me voice), "I AM THE BLACK SPIDERMAN!!! I think that Barney and Maggie and the Ferocious Beast just weren't doing it for Tad while I was gone...lesson learned!!!
A few other things that we have been up to....Home made play dough....Livia and Trey were fascinated by this, thinking that play dough only came from Wal Mart....Aurianna remembered the yester years when we used to have homemade play dough parties, ya that doesn't really happen anymore!!!
Pillow case slides....
Salt dough Easter figures...
And the park....
This is Livia's fix for not wanting to wear tights, but wanting to wear a skirt. Pants. It looks hilarious and I try to talk her out of it, but she thinks that it looks beautiful...my own little Fancy Nancy(Livia!).
I was in love with last week! Finally nice, spring days. The kids played outside endlessly! We got out the bikes, went to the park and covered all visible cement in chalk...it was bliss! Oh and my windows...they were all wide open...it just made me so happy inside! (sorry for all of the pictures on my blog...I kind of like to take a lot!!!)
But of course it was all too good to be true! We knew that it was going to be one of those not so quiet Sunday's at our house. Tad was having to take off for Ohio on Sunday because they had early meetings on Monday morning. He was going to attend Sacrament with us and then take off for the airport. I was teaching YW. It was all planned out perfectly. Until Aurianna went from fine to when Tad came home after his church meetings to pick us up...she was running 103.5 fever. Tad had to run down and find the mia maid teacher to take my class. I am so thankful for the power of the Priesthood. With him running out the door and knowing that I was going to be going solo for 10 days with sick kids, it was so comforting to have him give Aurianna a blessing.
