Life as I know it

I have not been posting.. I know.. life is more important lol and I can just write in between right? Well so far this week we have..

The kids were fighting over the only can of playdough we have.. off brand of course and we used to have more than one... it probably got left out or something. So of course.. I decided to make some right then and there. I found a cornstarch recipe online (didn't want to use a bunch of salt) and had some made up in three different colors in less than 20 minutes. The kids loved it and now when they go in the fridge to get snacks.. sometimes seeing that dough on the top shelf in the front stops them and they grab that instead lol. It does stick to hands a bit crumbling off but it molds well and is supposed to dry well also. I have made some salt dough in the past for Christmas ornaments for kids at church before (so much fun!) so I figured it wouldn't be too hard and it wasn't.

Alyssa a week or so ago cut her hair. At least it looks close to bangs so it could be worse, but still...

Today was exhausting. Alyssa normally doesn't have preschool (for her) on Thursday but they won't have school Friday and today was their Easter party because of that. As soon as we got home, it was so nice out that I decided we should play a bit. They played and I worked. I raked all the leaves out of the flowerbeds. I'm not a gardener or at least not yet but I do have a rose bush and some type of bulb flower I planted a couple of years ago that survived. I hope to make a veggie and herb garden one day but I am not sure that will be this year or not. Either way, I hate to see if full of ants and weed s. I have a pile I always rake my leaves into, poor grease, left overs etc.. a kind of unnoficial compost if you will so I have plenty of soil when needed. Believe me when I say it woujld be needed since most of my yard is a mixture of clay. Alyssa 'helped' with her little wheel barrow. Two and a half hours later I'm exhausted and starving and Ty is hungry too (Alyssa had food at school at the party). So a quick bath for them, then food and put down for a nap.. of course that never happened though. Finally at 2:30 I get to take a shower and eat. Then the second I finish my food I get a call from a friend asking a favor to watch her little girl that is 5 weeks older than Alyssa (they're church friends) for just long enough for her to tan lol. They never did take a nap anyways so I figured why not. Of course then the control key pops off of my laptop and I am still trying to fix it.. but now I have 3 toddlers running around and screaming.......
