Bad morning...

Story time, play date, walmart. 8 melt downs. Three of them on the ground outside.

At story time, she wouldn't even go in to listen to the stories. That's not so abnormal... she likes to do what she wants to do and often it is playing with the train or puzzles during story time.  But she usually does the craft... she picked up one marker and wandered into the kids computer lab. 

There were several melt downs before we left. It got to the point where I had to say to her " if you don't start listening, then we can't go to the play date.  Will you listen to mama?". 

No!

Then we have to skip the play date.  That will make Cousins Daughter sad. Will you start listening?

Yeah...

So we went... Few more melt downs.  But play dates are fun for mama, too!  I didn't want to punish myself, my cousin's wife, and their daughter all because Daughter was being a fuss machine. 

Ordinarily I wouldn't have attempted Walmart. But we really needed milk and veggies. We got out of the car (in the rain!) and she had an immediate fit and dropped to the wet ground. 

Grrrrr. Then she fell asleep in the car

But luckily she went right to sleep for her nap when we got inside. 

Long morning!

He has risen!!!

I didn't get any pics on the actual Easter, but we had a wonderful weekend!

First, Daughter found her Christmas tree and wanted it up as an Easter tree...

Kisses with cousins at the park :)




Grampy was laying down, so Daughter joined him

Watching the choo choo!!!

At church on Sunday, Daughter raised her hand really high to get a wafer just like daddy and mommy at communion.  It was cute, even Pastor chuckled :)

She wants all the sacraments now!!!

Palm Sunday Easter

 

Daughter rocked at the Easter egg hunt!

Pringles were popular this weekend 

When my sister's family left, Daughter got the can to herself

Photo books dropped off!

We dropped off the photo books with two different adoption agencies today 😊

One of them was in an office building with an interesting bison in the entrance...

Photo books!

Got our hard cover photo books today!

Still waiting on the soft cover ones... I thought they were coming today with the hard cover. Maybe a mix up?  Contacted the lady with Our Chosen Child. Hopefully we'll get all soon!

We're up on the adoption site!

Woot!  It's official!

Mat & Malia

We were up on our adoption site...

We had all our stuff web stuff in, but our photo book is being printed.  They put us up!  Woot!

Then they took us down :(

They need our check and photo book before they can keep us up.  That's understandable.  But a lot like giving a kid a piece of candy and then taking it away and saying they can't have it until next week...  big disappointment.

Sending in the check today and hopefully we'll get the photo books next week!

My friend had a great thought yesterday; that being on a waiting list is a lot like being pregnant but having no clue what the due date is.  We could get a baby next week, next month, or next year... we just don't know!
