sunny day

"my tummy is sooo hungry!"

 Well, I've been back in WA for about a week I guess.  It was a busy, stressful week at work.  Travis is on leave for a couple weeks until May and so it will be nice to have a little extra time together on the days I'm off.  My hormones have been nasty lately, and I have been angry and sad, depending on the moment, over the last few days.  This afternoon, I'm feeling surprisingly back to normal.  Thank God.  Sometimes I think it is just God who decides when and what my hormones will do to me.  So, we had our first camp fire in the backyard this evening with the kids...Mickey ate so many marsh mellows, he actually threw down the last half of his last one.  He only had 3, (because he stole them out of the bag and fought for them with his life) but then he was begging for some oatmeal I had warmed up and brought outside. Only one of my three kids will eat a hotdog.  Amelia.  She LOVES her food! She asked me to take a picture of her tonight standing by the food.  She cracks me up.  The girls are getting excited about Easter, looking forward to coloring eggs and then finding them out in the yard.  (they've been reading Corduroy's Easter a lot lately in anticipation)  I am also in anticipation of something, not Easter, but our move to Virginia, and already have 6 large boxes of stuff packed up.  I tell you, it's been a relief to get some of the extra stuff sitting around the house out of the way!  We won't have as much storage in our new house on Post, and I'm beginning to wonder what we're going to do with some of this stuff we keep under the house, in our garage..etc...I hope we at least have a little attic space or something at this new place.  I am so excited to get out of here....This will be the first Christmas that we won't have babies around..We'll be able to decorate the ENTIRE tree without worrying about anyone taking off the bulbs, etc...  I am excited to be a family with no babies.  Everything is going to be a little easier :)  We will also be closer to my brother, and we will have a lot of fun when he comes.  I am still working on getting a job and am currently getting my Virginia state licensure, which is no quick, easy task.  Well,  I really love this new blanket i'm sitting with right now.  I better get going. I will add a picture from the camp fire this evening.
