For Your Entertainment

Saturday morning I received a call from my boyfriend asking me to dye Easter eggs with him. His mother had offered but he was very insistent saying he "only dyes Easter eggs with La La."

J and I went to babysit on Saturday night so we set up shop for some egg dyeing fun. Girlfriend immediately swooned J into going to the market for more eggs.

Boyfriend is obsessed with (you're not going to believe this) rednecks. This kid loves talking about rednecks.

Just a sampling of some of the things out of his mouth, followed by fits of laughter:

As soon as we walk in the door:
"Hey J, you wanna play rednecks?"

When his dad heads down stairs:
"Hey O, bring me a beer!" followed by "that's what a redneck says."

When finishing up the applesauce in his bowl he dove his face in it to lick it clean:
"That's how a redneck eats."

When hearing a loud car go by:
"There goes a redneck."

Out the blue:
"Hey La La, I went into the woods once and I saw mice, rats, and rednecks."

Other fabulous quotes from the evening:

When his parents arrive home his dad opens the fridge to see several cups of Easter egg dye.
"Sweet, La La taught the kids to make jello shots."

Then, Mrs. R asks how Bear (a mere 3 months old) was to which my darling husband responds:
"Oh, she ran around raising hell all night."
Followed by: "She was great! She was held, rocked, kissed, fed, changed, she could only have been better if La La would have given her a boob."

So after Mrs. R and I chatted for quite a bit, it was after midnight when we were on our way home. Suddenly my memory sparked and I realized I'd forgotten my pill that evening. This is how it went:

Me: Ugh! I forgot my pill, remind me to take it as soon as we get home.
J: What? The three kids all night didn't do that for you?

Yes, this is my life.

Updates

It's time for a few updates from the M house...

• I could really use your help here, really!
• And give your opinion here as well, just because I can't read your mind.
• Remember this? Well, I'm happy to report I've fully recovered. I went home from work and slept for four hours waking only to eat oreo cookies. Hey--I've got priorities. Then I still went to bed by 10 that night. And still whined for 3 more days. But I'm better now!
• Remember this dog? Well he's all shaved now except for his head and he looks really funny. And I'm still afraid of him and he makes me want to cry. My husband laughs saying "You're really afraid of the most vicious looking animals." Yes, I know.
• We'll be spending a little time with my boyfriend this weekend. Such fun!
• And these, well, I got another one! I know, shame on me!
• Cookout this weekend! Bring a friend!
• Lastly, because she's the darn cutest thing ever, here's a picture of our neice Pie who will be spending a nice long weekend with next weekend.

Pinchable Cheeks, Next 2 Miles

This is Isaac and Luke. I know, I know. You want to gobble them up all in one bite!

Their mom, Bri, is one of my oldest and dearest friends. She came to visit this weekend with the boys so that we could jump start our shower planning for TaTa, who is going to be one lucky girl!

I wish you could have seen the boys with their cute little plaid button down shirts on with their outfits. It was adorable. However some soccer playing in the back yard with my husband left them quite hot. I mean, it was nearly 80 degrees outside. What's up with that? It's just March. And because it is just march, I refuse to run the AC or wear shorts and tank tops. It's one of my own little issues, but I stand by it. Here are more delicious pictures:

It was so nice to have a relaxing visit, the whole weekend was actually much like that. It felt long and lazy and I really needed it. J and I did work on giving a fresh coat of Rustoleom (TM) to our wrought iron patio furniture. I inhaled half of the paint apparently and had black snot and boogers. You wanted to know, right?

Hmm, oh J took me on an ice cream date. To a place called Mr. Frosty. It's two trailers. In the middle of a gravel lot. With a cow on top. And it is absolutely delcious!

Quote de Jour, a la My Little Boyfriend

Last night I had dinner at the R house. Boyfriend was very excited to set the table and make a special place for me right next to him. As we began dinner he looked at me and said:

"La La, I'm in love with you, you're my one true love"
