Easter Eggs

Chloee eating her hard boiled egg!

Today I did not work, and thought it would be a great day to dye easter eggs. Since this was our first attempt in doing this, I was not sure how the out come would turn out. Many situations ran through my mind, but in the long run, everything turned out well. I hard boiled 18 eggs, and Chloee wanted to do more. I kind of did to, since we had so much dye left, it seemed like such a waste to dump it down the drain.

After we where done, Chloee wanted a hard boiled egg, which I was pretty sure she would not eat. But to my surprise, she cracked it (with a little help) and ate the whole thing!!

Extra Patience laying around??

I am a person who lacks patience. My mom tells me I am like my dad, in the way that if something does not work the first time, it will NEVER work!! Well, parenting is not much better. All those sleepless nights when Chloee was a baby, some how I got through them. And now we are at age 3, and let me tell you, this child is draining what patience I have very quickly.

I have been told that it is just the age---3. Where children become independent, want to do everything themselves, becoming their own person. Well, we have developed a sassy mouth, making a ginormous mess in every room and then not even helping pick it up, becoming beyond helpless, such as "I can't pick up my shoes". This is the new terrible 2's just one year later, and I have been told this by MANY parents. 2's are not terrible it's the 3's and even 4's!! Wow, I can not agree more. And to think, we have another one on the way!!

Yes, you read right. Due in September. I now find myself thinking, how on earth will I make it through another child? I only hope that it is a good baby like Chloee was. Taking many deep breaths before acting upon her actions.

Wild Animals

The church we have been attending right across the street has been cutting down trees to make way for an expansion! Well, I truly believe that in the process, they are disturbing the wild animals. I was awaken this week by a hoot owl outside our bed room window, then the next night I was awaken my a coyote!! YES COYOTE! Now I did not actually see it, however heard it plain as day howling. No one else work up either night. I was telling our neighbor, Ray about it and he said that is son's have seen them in the field over by the church. Now it would not surprise me if I was living more in the country, but we are still in city limits. And I know what a coyote sounds like, as I have grown up living in the country where occassionally you would hear them, and my parents still do.

That was enough to make me not want to walk outside in the mornings before work. So I still do my Wii Fit workouts.

Buster

Wow, it's already March! And not just March, the middle of March to be exact!
Not reall much has been going on.
Our cat, Buster, passed away last Sunday/Monday. I did cry, but not as much as when I had to put Fluffy to sleep when I was 7 months preganant with Chloee :) Chloee actually cried to, just a little, which caught me off guard. She does not fully understand everything. I told her Buster is in Kitty Heaven.

Tuesday Will was able to bury Buster and Chloee was outside with him. When I get home from work, Chloee says to me " Mommy, do you know where Buster is at?"

I say "He is in Kitty Heaven"

She says "Nope, he is in the dirt, well actually the mud."

I had nothing to say, but kind of smile in the fact that she was technically right! Goodness, she is only 3, I think we are going to be in alot of trouble down the road as she does not forget ANYTHING that is said.
