Gettin Busy!

The past month and a half or so has been filled with birthdays - Alyvia's, MIL, SIL, BIL...so we've had lots of good weekend dinners. Two weekends ago, we took the girls bowling for the first time. It was a lot of fun...and hardwork. Our next first is the movies - an afternoon matinee or course. I want to take Alyvia to see Rio. I secretly want to see it myself :) This past weekend, I took Alyvia to visit my dad (Papaw) and we went out to dinner. Chinese. I have been craving it like crazy and my hubs hates it. And Sunday, we went to Boston's Gourmet Pizza for Tash and Josh's birthday. Yummo. Alyvia had a meltdown. And inside, Mommy did too. But we survived. A prayer was answered and I have been thanking God every single day. And in June, we'll find out if a second, much needed prayer was answered as well. My faith tells me yes :) Im finding that getting to know God is easier than I thought. I know he's always been there, but I havent always opened myself up to him. We dont make it to church every Sunday, but the reading I do helps A LOT. Pray - it works. We're [slowly] getting things ready for baby boy. We just have had to put it off for financial reasons, but again - we have God to thank for answering a prayer. His Poppy (my FIL) found him a handy dresser and secretly bought it. I shouldnt have been surprised, but we are so very thankful for everything my in-laws do for us. Alyvia's bed is also finished and ready for paint, which I am doing this Saturday morning. I have a feeling I'll cry the first few times she sleeps in it. I dont think any mother is prepared for their kids to grow up so fast. Thats why we're having 7 ;) This weekend, Im also hoping to get some things for little man and Alyvia's spring wardrobe finshed/summer wardrobe started. I have a few things up my sleeve for Easter and am so excited to make them. One of them is Rice Krispie Treat Eggs, filled with M&M's. I saw the commercial for it and squealed in excitement. I also want to get her the movie Tangled, she needs sandals, a bathing suit, and I really want to get her a kite! I am going to attempt to make Push Up Peeps and some other things that have been posted by a site I follow, TipJunkie. Check em out on FB. Happy Birthday Tasha! We love you!
