Easter

We have a tradition in our family that we make our Easter baskets out of brown paper bags. This is because I HATE storing thing so once they are used they are gone and it has become a contest to see who's is the most original and colorful.
We color eggs for the fun of it but I can not stand to hide real eggs it just grosses me out
This year since there was six inches of snow on Easter we had the hunt inside.

Just another Day

Ok so I have been thinking lately why am I always so tired! So I began to think hmmm maybe it is because my day begins at 6:30am and never ends before 2am. Ok I've been doing that for awhile so why am I so tired Now? So to find the solution to this issue I have to look at my day. Ok is it really bad that by 2pm I usually can't remember what we had for breakfast. So I guess it is time to say my life is hectic. I thought once we did not have infants, toddlers, or even potty trainers that I would have all sorts of time. Ha, I did not think that older kids just have more activities. I have been forgetting activities lately so I sat down and began making a Family Calendar, sounds easy enough. I began by downloading a basic calender format (easy enough), but soon figured out that the little squares were to small for everything to fit, So I download a weekly calender and it was still too small. On one day we had over 8 activities after 4pm. Since that day is two weeks away I quickly told Jay that he was coming home that day. Oh well just another day.
I have a new goal and that is to update the blog once a week so you might want to check back less because I might babble.
I am so happy that our kids are busy but I never understood that during the busiest time of the year Jay would be gone! I had to laugh when Ang invited us to dinner and I could not find a day that we have 2hrs available to just relax. This too shall pass, and then I know that I will be missing it. So here is to just another day?

Fuler's spring break

Gotta love spring break in Idaho! My favorite thing of the break is when my Critical thinking Professor accused me of being on beach sipping a pina colada (ha ha) No I was in the snow. We had a great weekend planned, we were going to Salmon fishing. Well even though Jay would fish in the snow the kids and I are fair weather fishermen. So we stayed home. We went sledding, funny thing is there was better snow in April then at Christmas time. Oh the joys of Spring in Idaho! We made our Easter baskets out of Grocery sacks and colored eggs. I found a new trick for boiling eggs. I put 1 cup of salt in the water with the eggs and it makes it really easy to peel them. Yeah! We also tried painting eggs with a paint brush, I was fun but the paint went through the shell and so our deviled eggs were colorful. Sunday morning we had a great hunt and found that Gavin is our expert finder. The Easter bunny hid eggs to well though because we were still finding eggs 5 hours later. Happy Spring Everyone!
