Pancakes...Waffles...Dinner?

While I'm on the kick of blogging I thought I would post our conversation at dinner tonight. I will preface this by saying Nate is out of town this week hence the last two nights dinner menus. (Not that it really matters because there are plenty a night when pancakes or waffles are the dinner of choice, just maybe not two nights in a row!)

Abbi: "Ugh! Waffles for dinner! We just had pancakes last night!"

Me: "Uh Huh, we sure did!"

Abbi: "Can we please have something besides breakfast foods or leftovers tomorrow?"

Me: "We'll see."

Abbi: "Mom, I get breakfast food for breakfast, I get a decent lunch at school, and then breakfast again for dinner!"

Me: "Hmmm there's plenty of kids that never even get a cooked meal."

Ellie: "I wonder what daddy's having for dinner?"

Abbi: "Probably something better than waffles!"


Seriously, are pancakes and waffles not enough variety in our diet? I say as long as they don't go to bed hungry all is well!

WICKED!!!

Easter night we took Abbi and Kaden to see "Wicked". This was the second time for Nathan and I but the first for the kids. This show is absolutely amazing and probably my very favorite Broadway show. Honestly one of the best parts about the night was just watching the kids expressions and seeing how much they loved it. Abbi leaned over to me right before intermission during "Defying Gravity" and said "this is awesome!" And it really was! The cast was wonderful and we all wished we could go back and see it every night it's here. Unfortunately our pocket books are not quite that deep, but most definitely worth the money we forked out for the evening. (We ended up sitting in the most expensive section seeing as how that was all that was left by the time we could get our tickets. But well worth it and I would do it all over again!) And hey we had great seats!

One very important side note: This night would not have been possible if my absolutely wonderful husband would not have stood in line for 3 hours in the freezing cold winter temperatures to get the tickets! (I am so lucky he has decided he likes broadway musicals!!!)

Easter Festivities

This year it seems like Easter came and went so fast! Spring break was filled with playing with friends, late movie nights, painting more rooms in the house (for Nathan of course) and just relaxing not having to wake up early for school and worry about homework after school, Yeah for me!

The Easter Bunny visited our house on Friday night so the kids woke up Saturday to find that the hunt for their baskets was on. This is the first year the bunny has come on Saturday and lets just say it won't be the last!!! I loved it!!! The kids spent the entire day playing with their new Easter toys and Sunday was much less hectic! Of course on Sunday we made visits to both sets of grandparents and the kids enjoyed two more Easter egg hunts. Good thing they are all going to the Dentist next week!
