Wow, it has been a long time since I have blogged!  Really busy with the big move coming up.  We have finally found a place to live within the boundries of Meridian Elementary, the school we really want the girls to go to.  Sadly, it is only 2 bedrooms.  I am scared about how tight things are going to be in the condo, especially since my mom will be staying there with us until she finds a job.  Lots of packing to do by next week, bit stressed:(  On another note, having a second grader is quite interesting.  Today I found out, her little friend Mason Deheck tricked her into saying the "f" word.  It really upset me, especially since she said "by mommy, I didn't even know that word, and that it was a bad word".  She seems to young for these things to be happening.  Also, don't know if I wrote about the little boy Aaron Zalewski in her class, he has a crush on her!  Pretty sure it is mutual, but she is not about to admit it to me. It's kind of cute, and sad all at the same time. Don't think I'm ready for this...

Yesterday was a rough day, for 2 reasons; Aubrey lost her 2nd tooth, actually Lauri pulled it out for her (yuck), she's only 4!  Then I got word that a boy in the 2nd grade has a crush on Makenna!  She keeps asking me if she can have a playdate w/ Aaron Zalewski, turns out he has a bit of a crush on her, and she may as well, but won't admit it to me.  I'm not ready for all this.  I just want them to stay little, and sweet.  Making matters worse, I worked at the American Club tonight, and it was prom!  All I could think about all night, is my girls being that age and how scary it is for a parent.  I really pray I've done a good job raising them and that they make good choices, not perfect choices, but overall, good ones.  Just wish I could protect them forever, but I know that is not possible.  I did proclaim to my co-workers that I will be chaperoning the prom.  Wonder if that will really happen, or if they will insist that I don't. I hope not:) 

Easter

Had a fun day of Easter festivities with my girls.  Tomorrow is Easter and I have to work at the American Club so we made the best of today.  We went to 2 Easter egg hunts, Makenna won a prize at both of them!  We dyed our eggs, and went to the Nelsons for dinner.  Great day, sad to work tomorrow.  Hope this is the last Easter I ever have to work.  Then on Monday we are off to Denver for a week.  Hopefully I will get our living and school situation all worked out:)

Museum

Had a great and exhausting day today chaperoning Makenna's 2nd grade fieldtrip to the Milwaukee Public Museum.  She had a great time.  I had a group of 6 girls which was a bit overwhelming, didn't want to lose any of them, but all in all, they all did great. Had to work tonight, but happy to get to spend the next 4 days w/ the girls and then the day after Easter we are off to Colorado for a week.
