Do I still blog?

I don't remember how long it has been since I have sat down to write. We really haven't been doing too much lately because we are all coughing and feverish. We are getting a lot of family time at home though. (Jason was even home from work one day and 1/2 when his boss sent him home early.)

Our part is over!

Woo Hoo!!! Our part of the licensing for Foster/Adopt is over! The knots in my back and shoulders can go away now! Our new licensor is Trish and she spent 2 hours with me today. The home inspection passed all the requirements and we did another huge questionaire. We are just waiting for the back ground check to be turned into Trish. (that could take months) When she gets that report, we will be receiving calls from social workers to place children in our home. Oh, we will be licensed for 5 children...our 2 and three more that are 0-3 years old.

Easter

Easter seemed to come really fast...it was just Christmas the other day. We attended the Ward's Easter party the Primary put on. It was a lot of fun. It is obvious that Josie and JJ had a great time.

A neighbor gave us a bike for Josie that her daughter had outgrown. I was really excited because the Easter Bunny could give a huge gift this year. As Jason and I discussed JJ not having a gift yet, I thought it would be great not having to buy 2. Well, the Easter Bunny was coming on Saturday morning and the gift was not purchased yet...I was ready to jump in the van and run to Wal-Mart for either a bike or scooter for JJ. Jason wanted to come with so we got a babysitter. While shopping I was talked into 2 scooters...instead of just one bike. We got home and to make the story really short...Josie and JJ saw them in the back of the van Friday evening and the surprise was ruined!

Eagle Scouts

We were honored to attend the ceremony as Andrew and Scott received their Eagle Scout Awards.

Count down to Home Study...

Irma will be here to inspect our home on Thursday. I had these grand plans of my schedule working out perfectly and the house being completly ready when she arrives, but Josie and JJ have had other ideas. It seems that I am just following behind Josie and JJ as they destroy what little had been cleaned up before they got there. They have even found the garage and our food storage has been a great place to find something to occupy their over energetic minds and bodies.

The Dentist

Today was our semi-annual trip to the dentist. Josie and JJ did a great job holding still during the cleaning! Josie was the attending big sister and held JJ's hand as he received his cleaning. She was so cute while she took care of him.

After the cleaning, they were the dentists and brushed an alligators teeth. It was fun to watch them get so involved with the care of something else.

JJ wasn't to happy to have the dentist start his poking around and kind of gave up at that point. Over all...the dentist was the highlight of our day! Before that my little scoundrels dumped all my sugar on the kitchen floor. After the dentist, we ran over to Wal-Mart to get the egg coloring stuff so the Easter Bunny will have something to hide tomorrow morning!
