What happens at Grandma's stays at Grandma's ...

You Know You're A Mom When....

Have you ever driven somewhere and realized when you got there that you don't know how you got there? Like the car must have been on autopilot because you don't remember passing familiar landmarks or towns. Sometimes that's how I feel about my journey into motherhood too.

A few nights ago, as I sat at Red Lobster with Andrew, his parents, and of course the boys, I had one of these moments. Now, Red Lobster might not be a ritzy sort of restaurant to some people, but it's the closest thing that our little podunk town has to a fancy place to eat in a 50 mile radius. Our little table of 4 adults and 2 small children sat in the busy restaurant singing (relatively loudly) favorites like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, and the ABC's.

It was like someone had hit the fast-forward button on my life. It was kind of surreal. How did I end up singing kids songs in a place where we had spent many date nights and I had many margaritas with girlfriends?

Life Gets In The Way

Well, holly cow! I wish I could say that I haven't posted because I've been busy potty training Isaac, but alas, it seems that the potty thing was just a fluke. He has been much more agreeable to sitting on the darn thing, but we haven't made any more progress. :( I can't wait until I'm home this summer. I think it will just take some time to focus on it.

So, is it too late to blog about Easter? Even if it is, I'm gonna do it anyways. The day before we had an Easter egg hunt at my aunts. It was mad craziness! We got about 4 inches of snow the night before. This made for one of the most bizarre egg hunts I've ever attended. Add to that the fact that the oldest kid hunting was only 4! Aunt Pat hid at least 110 billion eggs in the snow.

Of course, the 4 and under crowd bored of hunting for eggs in the snow after about 5 eggs each. The did have fun though!
After he bored of the egg hunt, Isaac discovered the snow covered slide. He insisted on cleaning the slide off. Even though he was FREEZING at the end of it, we still had to fight him to get inside.
All in all it was a really good holiday. The next day I was in charge of the nursery at the early service at church. We attempted to leave the kids in the nursery during the second service but I ended up back in the nursery because Elijah was a beast! So after two rounds of nursery, we all headed home for a nap. We had dinner at my mom's and called it a day!

Hope everyone had a nice holiday too!
