General Thoughts.....

Sorry its been so long since I posted. Its been a crazy couple weeks in the Folmar household... We had a nice Easter... WE hosted which was a lot of work but the day turned out to be nice and relaxing.... Both girls loved what the Easter bunny brought them... Katie is at the age where the magic of the Easter bunny is in full swing. I felt a little guilty because the day before I took her and Sarah grocery shopping and OMG- it was the baddest the 2 of them had ever been... I was mortified at how bad they were through the whole store.... We came home and I told them I didn't know if the Easter bunny would come now - they were so bad. Then Jim told Katie that if you are not good- the bad bunnies come and eat your chocolate and I added to it saying they would poop in her Easter basket. She got up Sunday morning and after pulling everything out of her basket, said Look mommy- the bad bunnies did not come cause there is no poop in my basket.... Yeah I think that might have worked too well.....

Sarah was funny with the whole Easter basket- she would take each item out and go "ohhhhhh"...It was too cute...

Then this past weekend we went to West Virgina - both girls, me and their Mimi to go see Aunt Jenn and cousin Hannah before they move to Colorado. A true girls only weekend. While both girls did ok on the 7 and half hour car ride, we did have some problems. Katie got a stomach virus on Sunday and was notfun to ride back with on Monday. And Sarah was petrified of their dog Ellie. I spent the whole weekend with Sarah attached to me with a death grip.... But all in all both girls had a blast playing with their cousin and spending time with her before they move.

However since we have been back both girls have been giving each other stiff competition for who can be the most clingiest and whiniest. Sarah since she saw the dog has been non stop clingy and whiney. Some of it is her teeth- she is getting her stomach teeth. And Katie since she has been sick is constantly whining or being incredibly rude and bossy. Between the two of them, I would not be surprised if Jim and I start drinking heavily. (joking....i think).

Now this morning at 4am I woke up with the stomach bug.. Lovely.....
