april 20. Easter Sunday best
Well, no Easter family picture today. We were lucky to even make it to church before the sacrament hymn today. I swear we are always late. Seriously. I wish that at least 1 time in the next 2 months we can be one time. one time! that's all I ask!
I will just pretend that next week is Easter and do a picture then. Who cares if my kids grow a centimeter this week or gain 1 lb. I'm sure nobody will ever know or ever notice in the picture.

april 20. singing in church
I'm not one to normally take pictures in church, but today I had to. It was emmrys first time being able to go up on the stand and sing with the rest of the primary. They sang ????. Emmry didn't even sing one word. In fact, she didn't even look out at the audience. She hid her head in tages legs the whole time and Tage ended up carrying her back to sit down as she hid her face in his shoulder.
But I had to document this first for her.
There will be many times she will be up there with the primary children and many more chances to sing her heart out.
Love her so much.

april 21. new booster seat
For the past 2 weeks if not longer I have had to convince Trey to sit in his high chair. He would always want to sit in Emmrys booster seat at the table but then Emmry would get upset that he was sitting in her seat. So finally it's official. The high chair has been put away and trey now has his own booster seat and sits at the table like a big boy.
I'm a little sad. My baby boy aint no baby anymore.
Emmry of course wanted a new booster seat because she "is a big girl" too. Now it just looks like I have twins at my house. too cute. I love it.

april 21. track and field
Tage signed up to do a track and field event tonight at Sunrise Mountain High School. about 4-5 other schools besides Parkridge (where Tage goes) in the Peoria district were there to compete.
Tage did the ??? meter relay and the shot put.
on really they took first and shot put Tage placed second.
The kids and I were there for almost an hour and 45 min and he still hadn't done one competition. It was hot and I was hungry for dinner so we left and Dad stayed to watch Tage.

april 22. naptime
I tried to lay Trey in his crib today for a nap but he would.not.have.it!
I could tell that he was tired and needed one so I asked him if he wanted to sleep on my bed. He said yes. So I layed him on my bed and told him to go to sleep because it is nap time and then I walked out. I went into check on him just a couple minutes later and he was already out like a light. I didn't hear a peep from him till about an hour and a half later.

april. 25. Wheat grass
Funny story about wheat grass....
For a RS activity I am going to grow wheat grass for the centerpieces. But first I needed to go buy wheat grass seed.
I went to Home Depot yesterday and asked where wheat grass was. They looked confused and I told them the it was the kind that you can grow then juice it and drink it and it was very healthy and beneficial. The man looked at me weird and said, "you mean smoke it?" NO! Its WHEAT grass not weed. sheesh! I left home depot and later last night I went to Sprouts whole food grocery store. for sure they would have stuff for wheat grass. That guy there looked at me funny too and said that they didn't have any seed but they had a huge flat of already grown wheat grass for $15. Nope, not gonna help.
I called my friend who has grown wheat grass before and asked her where I find the seed......low and behold its just wheat kernals! Ya know- the little brown rice looking seed wheat is before you grind it into flour....yep. that's it!
So I got a couple cups of wheat and soaked them in a bowl of water overnight.
Today I planted it and in just a few days I will have little sprouts of wheat grass growing!

hello, hello!
It's been a month since I've posted anything. I'm going to regret this later when I try to compile all this into a book.
So, today....
I feel I have been a bit more high anxiety, on edge, impatient and not as loving the past few days. Its a good thing that I recognize this though. Makes me want to try to be calmer and more loving at those crazy moments. for instance; Emmry was crying and whining because I went upstairs to get something and she was mad that I told her to just stay downstairs and I would be right back. She cried and cried, whined and pulled on me (which irritated the tar out of me when she does that. She wasted me to hold he. I kept telling her to stop her crying and then I would. She kept screaming and whining and saying her tummy hurt. Then she bent over and acted like she was going to throw up. She spit on the tile. I walked over to get a paper towel (of course she followed screaming that she wanted me. and again, I told her that I would talk to her and hold her when she stopped her crying and because she was crying that is why her tummy was hurting. Well I got the paper towel and turned around just in time to catch throw up in my hand. Luckily I had that paper towel. That little stinker got so wound up that it caused her to throw up. Oh my. what a stinker. She then called down enough for me to talk to her, but I knew she needed a nap.
Today, the only way that I could keep myself from screaming and shutting the kids in their rooms because I was fed up with the whining and crying from both was to put them in the car and take them on a drive to get them to go to sleep.
It worked for Emmry, but not for Trey. At least trey was good about laying down and taking a nap when we got inside though.
