Pathetic and a recap.

It's pathetic how little I blog. I think about it. I write blogs in my head. I take pictures with the sole purpose of putting them on here. Does it ever get done? Nope. I've been on a slight emotional roller coaster lately. Don't worry. Nothing's wrong. It's all in my head. I've been missing lots of people lately. If I don't get out of my house for a while, I feel really alone. Like I said, it's just in my head. There isn't anything wrong with staying home. There's nothing wrong here, either. I have friends and we hang out every now and then. I even have people far away that I talk to regularly. Some days, it just all gets to me in a way that I'm not sure how to handle. Maybe it's my 'old' age. Maybe it's just me being selfish. Who knows. It'll pass. It always does. :) On to happier things. Easter came and went with no acknowledgement on the old blog. So, here's some picture randomness for all your viewing pleasure :).

Meet our resident Bunny. We've been watching him grow all summer. He lives under our deck and comes out around breakfast to eat grass and the leaves on the bushes. The bigger he gets, the more we see him. While I don't mind having him around, I wonder if planting a garden will even be worth it? Will he eat everything I plant? Who knows. Lucky for him, he's smart enough to not let the kids get close. Once he decides we're coming out to play he disappears. We'll see if he hangs out all summer....

We colored eggs. At bedtime the night before Easter. But at least we did it. That's what happens when I work 5 nights out of 7 and one night we do our weekly Costco run (Jon likes to go with me for that one...). The kids enjoyed it. We always run out of eggs before they're bored, but we don't really need 3 dozen boiled eggs so....
Not related to Easter, but these kids are classic in their sleeping positions. Julianne must have the light on until she falls asleep anymore. We started leaving it on so Brooklyn could read (and not destroy her eyesight) and Julianne freaks out if we turn it off before she's asleep. She appreciates a good book in bed, as well....
What's wrong with this? Don't you make your bed before bedtime and then sleep on top of it, at the foot no less, so you don't have to make it in the morning? You don't? Huh. She does.
Jon took the kids to the annual Fire Station breakfast here in Norwalk. Brooklyn was there, too but she went with her friend so she wasn't in the pics. I, as usual, was at work. They had a blast, though. They had breakfast there and then got to climb on the fire engines. Pure delight from these two. They were thoroughly entertained.
And finally, Easter morning. I got Brooklyn a new shirt and skirt; Mason a new shirt; and Julianne a new-to-her dress just for the occasion. What's Easter without a new Easter outfit? It just wouldn't be right :).

Hopefully I'll blog again before Brooklyn's birthday, but I'm not making any guarantees. :). She's going to be 7 in a couple weeks and we discuss her gift-wish-list daily. She's decided she needs a DS, DS games, an i-pod, music for her i-pod, and wii games. Seriously? Lucky for her, she might get a wii game. Maybe. She'll have to settle for more imagination toys. I'm not ready for her to be so high-tech. Heaven help us ;).
