Friday Four (Because I couldn't come up with a 5th)

• And......it's cold again. *pout*
• We found out yesterday that our well is not on our property. Which in turn creates a complication for selling the Gingerbread House. Hopefully our neighbor will just give us the rights to it without incident.
• It's finally the "Royal Wedding" Day. Thank goodness! If you know me you will know that I LOVE weddings (I've decorated for I think 7, soon to be 8). But all the media frenzy over this is even a little much for me! Some of my first impressions where.

1. Kate's dress was completely boring (but I sort of loved it).
2. Morning coats on guys look totally snappy, in a good way!
3. I LOVED all the hats, even the weird Lady Gaga-esque hat Princess Beatrice wore!
4. I loved Kate's bouquet, it was so small and simple (my all time favorite combo).
5. In all honestly I actually liked Pippa's dress better then Kate's

• Little League opening day is tomorrow. Let's hope this year blankets and coats won't be required for the spectators for too long.

Gaius' Second Favorite Song...I think.

"Do you like that song?"

"Not really....yeah! yeah really"

When Shoshannah wants to go from sitting up to being on her belly she just flops over, it's actually quite comical to watch. However, it's taken quite a bit of coaxing to get Leia to allow Sho to do this.

Leia- "I'll just be Shoey's chair"

Me- "Leia let her go, she has to learn how to do it by herself. If she falls she will learn."

Leia- "Okay I'll just to this:"

*Sorry for the poor picture quality. I forgot my good camera at my mom's yesterday*

Friday 5

• Spring is officially here (someone, please alert the weather)! I know this only because my children have had baseball practices all week.
• We unofficially took a week off from school. There was literally no time to get it done. Thankfully we are coming to the end of most of our school books!
• The countdown for Marc's week of vacation is on- 3 weeks! We don't have any big plans, but not having to run my kids to EVERY practice/game/prayer meeting all by myself makes it sort of like a vacation for me too!
• Our dogs missed us while we were away and now will not stop digging giant holes outside our front door. Kind of sweet but not so great for "curb appeal".
• Something exciting is potentially happening...(Don't you just love a good cliff hanger?!) :-)

Highlights from Lake Anna

The house. was. huge! (8000 sq. ft. to be exact)

BTW this was the room we stayed in which also happened to be the toy room. No matter how clean I left it, it would end up looking like this by the time I entered again. :-(

So. Many. Cousins all under one roof! (I barely saw my oldest daughter the entire time)

Xavier caught a fish (without bait) all by himself and even took it off the hook and everything.

My cousin Nick purposed to his girlfriend of 5 years! (She said yes)

My 3 little nephews are all VERY early risers and that big house was very echo-y.

Shoshannah got her normal excessive amounts of attention. AND was a little grumpy because she cut a tooth two days before we left and I'm pretty sure she has another one coming in soon.

Marc and I tried kayaking! It was super fun!

We raced and I lost because my husband shoved me into the weeds with his paddle (dirty cheater!) :-)

They had a sandbox which was brilliantly located on a small cliff next to the water. So the kids enjoyed building sand castles in the, much safer, horseshoe pits instead.

This is my brother's 2nd largest fish of the weekend. 15 minutes before we left he caught a 29" Carp using a kiddie fishing pole.

We also had a little "adventure" getting lost in Virginia's back country for 1½ hours, in the middle of a thunderstorm, with an eighth of a tank of gas.

We survived!

I can't wait to look at and edit the rest of the pictures I took while on vacation! The house we all stayed in was AMAZING! The weather was gorgeous! We came home to snow. :-(

But I wanted to give you a quick update on OUR house situation. We had one showing over the weekend and the people are coming back this Thursday to take another look. The people who looked at it last Wednesday called me up (they actually go to our church) and asked to come and look at the back of our property where we tie our dogs out while the house is being shown. So hopefully we'll have an offer very soon from someone!
