Thursday had a bad driving experience with the girls-cursed at a woman while heading off to work. Abigail just looked at me afterword and said "Mommy, that hurt my ears". I am going to rue the day that one learned to talk...

Friday balanced both days' deposits at work so I shouldn't hear too much bitching from the boss on Monday.

Saturday I actually got out and did some weeding and general tidying up of the front and back yards. It felt good to be outside working in the dirt and such. There are some really annoying allium in the flower beds, though, that are driving me crazy. I am not a fan of their foilage and the flowers are not the pretty ones I always see in Martha Stewart magazines-more like a drab tan color. So I yanked them out while pulling tons of evil clover weeds.

ps-if your child is under the age of five, don't ever make the mistake of telling them Mickey Mouse lives at Disney World. I told Abigail today and she was actually speechless, not a regular state for my daughter, mind you!

Happy Easter everyone!

oh, Alice

Coming soon...Abigail's 4th Birthday Party!

All mad hatters and rabbits welcome!

Bring tea cups, lead-lined hats optional!

We here at the H household may not have much money, but what we lack in currency we make up for in creativity! This April will be a birthday time to remember. I am excited to be looking forward to something again. And it's easy to feel that silly smiling joy when there's a 3 1/2 year old running around the house talking about her birthday spectacular to come!

Stone Soul Picnic

it has turned out to be a pretty good weekend...

got out with the kids yesterday and today for some errands, nothing exciting. It hailed and rained yesterday which was entertaining, but now it's sunny and a little chilly. I'm currently watching the movie Bewitched with Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrel. It's actually pretty funny in that "you don't really have to use your brain" sort of way!
Abigail has been acting like a 14 year old-mouthing off and generally being the water to my rock of patience. Slowly, slowly...
Charlotte has some sort of allergy/cold issue complete with every 30 seconds being a nose wiping issue. Poor baby...
Other than that they are in pretty good moods-especially when we had animal cracker circus at lunch-Charlotte is getting pretty good with the lion imitations!
I'm getting geared up for another work week. Should be a little less hectic now that the end of the month round-up is over.
Not much else to report-just some cleaning and tidying here at the house, listening to a lot of NPR and drinking coffee.
Hope all of you have had good weekends filled with some productive relaxation-time.

hugs everybody,
Erin
