It's only Wednesday!?

The weather this week has been rather dreary and drizzly here in good old Connecticut. At least it was rain though, and not **snow**! Mem, and Ray, you both can keep the snow in NY--hopefully you have only been getting rain too!! I was sooo glad to see the sun shining and hear the birds singing outside my this morning! YIPPEE! I think this weather has been running me down, I've been sooo tired the past few days! (it's a combo of the weather and my heart medication.) With the sun shining I have more of a drive to do something today! No, Shaun, not laundry! ;)

Okay, I'll do the laundry!! Anyways this week I was so tired that I asked Shaun to come home a little early on Monday to take Christopher for a hair cut. He has spring pictures at school today so I wanted his hair fixed up a bit. He was excited because he thought he could talk Shaun and I into him getting a mohawk! I don't think so! Luckily Shaun took him and Anneli and I stayed home. They were gone a long time and I began to worry...they came in the door and I saw him...

His hair was a little shorter than I would have liked but it was okay I guess--no mohawk! He was rather disappointed he said he wanted a bald head or a mohawk so they compromised with a longer buzz. UGH!

Yesterday flew right by too. Anneli and I battled the drizzly weather and went over to my parents house to play with her Cricut Machine again. We made Snow White. I'll post a picture later but this is how it looked. click here We tried Sleeping Beauty, but we ran out of time. Then we raced to pick Christopher up from school. On our way there Anneli fell asleep! I tired her out!

After her little nap, Anneli was a monster! I was puttering around in the kitchen and I heard water running in the downstairs bathroom. She was giving her stuffed animals a bath! There were probably about six or seven stuffed animals--dolphins, penguins, elephants you name it--soaked and water was everywhere!! UGH! Sorry there are no pics, I wasn't very happy with her. It was dinner time and I didn't want to have to deal with water EVERYWHERE! We cleaned it up together--Christopher was a big helper as always picking up her mess! Thanks Christopher--what a great big brother! Then Christopher made a super April Fools Dinner with me for Shaun. He was so excited, Shaun was going to have dessert for dinner and not a traditional dinner. Here's a picture of what he made.

It was a yummy meatloaf with green potato frosting with carrott candles! YUMMMY! Shaun thought it was great and ate it all! Anneli was fooled for a minute--she thought it was real cake! She probably liked this cake better than real cake because potatoes are her favorite!!

After that it was bed time. Thank goodness!! We sat down to American Idol (one of Anneli's favorite shows)and Anneli sang until she fell asleep!
