Hannah is my cuddle-bug. Such an easy going, simple, happy child. :) Fun kid, that one. Today she ran up to me, in a state, shrieking "MOM! There's milk and CEREAL on the TABLE!!(EVERYTHING is super dramatized in Hannah's world.)" I told her that it was okay, and that she could clean it up and she replied, quite calmly, "I didn't do it. The squirrels did it." We're always dealing with those crazy squirrels. Oh, and the lions and tigers and baby bears and spiders and kittens and every other creature under the sun. Hannah loves animals. And babies. :) She is a natural born mother. :) What great kids I've got.
Aspen turned seven in February (I can't remember if I mentioned that already or not) and recently lost her seventh tooth. :) How coincidental. She's doing really well in school. We're considering home schooling her next year, just to keep her busy enough. That kid is as sharp as brass tacks. Jacob is getting ready to compete in the Hershey Track Meet next month. He's very excited. This morning he woke me up, fully dressed, and said "Mom! It's 6 o'clock! Let's go running; we have to practice!". Ha! That crazy kid. Spencer is gearing up for kindergarten this year. I think the teacher he gets had better be a stalwart soul. That boy is a big ball of energy. I, for one, will be happy for a break. lol Then it will just be me and Hannah for a few hours every day. What will THAT be like??
In other news, I tore through my LAST pair of contacts Monday night. Allergy season has kicked in for me and all the eye-rubbing is hard on those little guys. Seeing (haha- SEE what I did there?) as it was my last pair, and I don't have glasses, I was forced to go in and finally order a pair. Thank goodness my prescription was still good- for eyeglasses only, unfortunately, not contacts. So I'm back to specs; I've actually kinda missed them. :) They'll get here in a week, and in the meantime, the lady at the vision center was kind enough to give me one last trial pair of contacts to get me though. Whew!! ShopKo ROCKS!
That's it, I guess. We don't have any major news to report. We're excited for Easter this weekend. Our Easter tends to last all weekend, since we made a deal with the Easter Bunny. He comes to our house a day early (Friday night) so we can spend Sunday focusing on Christ, instead of finding our baskets. So glad that he's flexible like that. :) What Easter traditions do you have?

Hmm...I really like this idea. Maybe will start it too. :)
Your kiddos are too cute!! Love the sweet little stories you write about them.
I can't believe Aspen is 7! She was just a little girl the last time we saw her. We need to get out there and visit you guys. Your kids sound so super funny!
Oooh, we're going to have to make that arrangement with the Easter Bunny next year. It's already Sat night and the kids are in bed. What a great idea, though.
And by the way, I love your kids' funny sayings. Hannah reminds me of Sarelle-- her imagination goes crazy when it comes to animals. She'll get so crazy worked up about the "lion chasing her". She and Hannah need to live closer to each other!
Nicole- Thank you!!
Tina- Yes! You do! :)
Laurie- I agree. Let's meet somewhere in the middle. ;)
