So are the days of our lives.....

I haven't been in the blogging mood lately. For some reason ever since I took my blog hiatus at the end of last year I haven't been able to get back in the blogging groove. Part of my problem is I don't want to fall back into old habits of spending hours on the computer when I should be doing other things. I tend to be an all or nothing person and lately blogging has been nothing. That isn't to say that I haven't thought nearly every day, "Oooh, I should blog about that!" or "I've gotta get a picture of that for my blog!".

Here are some of those things that I thought, I just have to blog about that. Granted this is mostly all old news, but it is better than nothing.

We have gone to my Dad's house for Easter the last couple of years. My step mom always makes the cutest bunny cake. I attempted to make one this year. I think it turned out pretty cute despite my lack of cake decorating skills.
Scott's birthday was on Easter so it doubled as a birthday cake too.

Have you ever wondered what happens to a Peep when you put it in the microwave? Me neither, until Scott heard on the radio that after a few seconds they blow up. Imagining peep all over my microwave and being the serious and ever eager to learn adults that we are, we gave it a try. Here I present our results:

Before.....

After.....
After, after....
Speaking of Easter, my kids left me scrambling this year when they started asking me questions about the Easter bunny. I was proud of myself for my quick thinking. Upon picking up the 999,999,999,999,999th piece of Easter grass off the floor I was able to prove without a doubt the existence of the Easter bunny by saying this: "Do you really think that I would fill your baskets full of this stuff on purpose?" They stopped asking questions after that.

Do you remember the puppy love post I did awhile back? In February our worst nightmare happened. We lost the beloved puppy. At first I wasn't convinced that it wasn't hidden away somewhere in the abyss in the twin's room where it often ends up. After several days, and countless nights of tears, I finally broke the news to Megan that the puppy was probably gone for good. I imagined it had been left behind somewhere, but by the time I realized it wasn't at home I couldn't remember where we had been. I admit that I believe this incident, though traumatizing to Megan, was even more so for myself. I wasn't ready to let go of such a special part of Megan's growing up life.

Nearly a month after the puppy had gone missing I was speaking to the lady that runs the scout shop here in town. At the end of our conversation she happened to ask me if Megan was missing a stuffed animal puppy. Evidently, when I had gone to buy the Badge Magic for Jordan' s cub scout uniform, Megan had found some little toys to play with. She set her puppy down on a lower shelf behind the toys and had left it behind. It would still be there today if not for my sister-in-law who had noticed it one day when she went to the scout shop. That night Megan was reunited with her beloved puppy. We have made a new rule that it doesn't leave the house unless we are leaving the house overnight.

Last of all, this Friday marks my 90th day without chocolate. In celebration my husband is taking me out. Guess what I will be ordering for dessert? All this time I had intentions of earning an i-pod, but now that the time is finally here I am not sure that I really want to spend the money on that or something else. The possibilities are endless! The jury is still out.

Stay tuned for my next post, hopefully it won't be another two weeks....
