A picture is worth a thousand words........

This is why I never get anything done. Ever. Because I can't leave them alone for one second!

Easter Round 1

Today some of my lovely neighbors put together a block party. They had everyone pitch in some candy filled eggs and a side dish. The kids ran wild looking for eggs (who were hidden by the only husband left on the block:) but quickly tired out due to the outrageous heat. After the egg hunt we went across the street for a BBQ. Again, the only husband left did the grilling. This guy is doing triple duty for sure! The kids had a great time and were all ready for baths and bed by a reasonable hour.

Whoa-That was fast!

Well we are skipping right from November allllllll the way to April:) I wish this deployment had gone that fast! But here we are. Back in North Carolina. As you all know Hank had an accident right when we got back. He's doing fine. We are getting ready to put the house on the market on Tuesday. I have spent every waking minute since we got here trying to get the house ready. These kiddos aren't really too concerned with cleanliness:) So I spend all my time cleaning and recleaning everything!
We did get to the beach. It was still kind of cold. I got really brave and took all 3 by myself. It went well. That was b/c Clare was very unsure of the sand. Toward the end, she was making a break for it running down the beach. I suspect that may be my last trip alone if she keeps that up!
