Busy Busy, but slowing down, Yea Right!!

A lot has been going on this past week. Friday we had Kevin's 30th bday dinner. Lots of family came down from Indy, with my family, and some of our friends joined us a litle later. It was so much fun. I love when everyone gets together. And so do the kids with their 2nd cousins. When the adults went to dinner there was 12 kids at the my in-laws being watched by 2 sitters! Saturday the festivities kept rolling with Easter egg coloring and lots of good food!(Thanks Carolyn!) By 4:30pm on Saturday all out of town people had left so I took the kids home. I immediately gave them baths because I knew they would crash as soon as they sat down. And I was right, by 6pm they were all asleep on the couch and didn't wake up till 7:30am the next morning!!
Easter was busy like all the other Holidays. we went to church then had lunch at my in-laws. Me & the girls visited their great gma at the hospital. Then we went to Jasper for my family's Easter dinner. I love spending time with family & friends!
Now for the big news---I'm unemployed! Well obviously I've been a stay at home Mom for about 20 months but what I mean is I no longer watch my nephew daily. He started daycare Monday. It was always in the plan for him to do daycare around a year old for socialization and such. And a couple months ago I got overwhelmed with my kids and Andrea so they put him on a waiting list then and just now got in. It's only my second day without him and Ive been busy catching up on cleaning, laundry, etc so been too busy to realize much difference.
Just got back from signing Lily up for Kindergarten. She will go to north Elementary. I can't believe I'll have 2 in school all day and 1 in preschool 2 mornings a week. I'm looking forward to spending the summer with the kids. Lots of swimming to do and we have Holiday World passes so many trips there also! Can't wait!
