What fun!/Alas!

Today, the kids had a primary activity. Chad and I decided to go and test drive a new Ford car(we had received a card in the mail stating that if we did so, we would receive a $25 gift card--so what the heck--) We decided on a new Ford Taurus X. They are real pretty cars.
We had Jesse with us, as he isn't old enough for the Primary activity. I had hyped it up with him hoping he would be excited about going for a ride in a different car. Obviously, I didn't do the job sufficiently well (he doesn't deal well with change of any kind, unless initiated by him). It took about 15 minutes to get him in the car seat I had switched over. He then proceeded to cry and scream --only a little--for a few more minutes. The car drove nicely and he soon began to enjoy the new adventure. Chad pulled over to let me drive it back to the dealership and that brought on a whole new wave of sadness/anger/whatever. This one, however, lasted a much shorter time. By the time we got back, he was happy and liking the new car.
Thankfully, though, when we put his seat back in our car, he was even happier. Kids....so much fun. The kids had a great time at their activity and we had fun going around town without three of them.

Now to the 'Alas'. It is allergy season and this year has hit me pretty hard. The kids are missing me coming outside with them because I just can't. I'll be glad when all this pollen is washed away with the spring rains.

This blogging stuff is pretty fun. I hope to be able to sit down and put my thoughts out there often!

Can I just vent a little?

Well, I have two wonderful little cuties here at home today. You can NEVER guess what is all over the floor of the library(where I am sitting)? Yes, books. Jesse has pulled every book off the bottom two shelves and they are not so neatly piled on the floor. Now, mind you, we probably have about a thousand books or so and that constitutes about 150 of them. Yes, I love books, but not all over the floor!
I'm trying to work on this new blog thing, which, btw, I'm finding a little more difficult than I expected. I'm going to have to use all of my brains to figure out how to make things the way I want them, because this part of a brain here and part keeping track of the little sweeties just isn't working!
So, I'm off to supervise the picking up of books, toys, crayons, and all other things that have been taken out of place and NOT returned, (surprise, surprise) to their proper place. I will mess with this lovely mess later!

Well, here goes.....

I have succumbed to the trend. I am going to start a blog that I hope will be interesting and informative. I am really trying to keep some sort of journal but you can all enjoy my daily happenings with me this way! Enjoy
