Happy Easter

This is a very special Easter for us! Sean completed his 7 month journey through Catechism in the Catholic Church. He finished last night at the Easter Vigil. A very beautiful, very spiritual, very long mass. It was really cool, they start outside with a fire to light the Pascal candle and then go into a dark church lite only by candlelight. It really was pretty- all 2 1/2 hours of it! I'm so proud of him and now he gets to walk up and get a "chip" (as Clare calls it) with me at Communion next weekend.

This morning 2 very happy kids woke up to find 2 baskets overflowing with treats. They were so excited you'd think it was Santa who came instead of the Easter Bunny.

The weather forecast is 80 degrees for today. I think we'll be dining al fresco for our luncheon.

Kindergarten....What?!

Yes, it's official! Sean registered Aidan for Kindergarten last Tuesday.

I'm having some very mixed emotions about all of this. I don't think I'm ready to let him go out into the real world without me! Although, he's such a super awesome little guy I guess it might be time that I shared him with others.

The other day, a mom at the center said to me, "Aidan seems like he's always laughing and smiling, like he always has fun." YUP that pretty much sums him up in a nutshell!

Shiner

Yesterday afternoon we were all out in the yard enjoying the Spring weather. Aidan and Clare were playing a game and she kept hitting him with a baby doll. He had a light saber upside down in his hand and turned to stick it in her face to tell her to stop. As he turned, it whacked her in the cheek and WHAMO she immediately had a quarter size lump on her cheek.

First, I got her ice and she wanted DADDY! (which of course melted Sean's heart)

Second, when I showed her in the mirror what it looked like she said, "I need a bandaid to cover it."

The best part is picture day is next Friday! Never a dull moment around here.

*Here's a shot of the day after*

A little laugh

Yesterday morning, I went into the bathroom with Clare cause she had to go potty. When we got in there I had to wipe Aidan's pee off the seat- OF COURSE! As I was wiping the toilet and the floor I turned to Clare and said, "Boys are so gross, they always pee on the seat!" Clare laughed and then replied, "Sometimes I'm kinda gross too Mom." Ha ha! "Me too Clare!"
