So, recently the only time I've had to myself is after the kids go to bed at night. Thus, not much blogging happens because by that point in the day I just want to chill out & go to bed. Yes, I've been known to go to bed at 8pm... so what?

I'm proud of the fact that we are able to get Isabella down for bed anytime between 6:30-7:30pm and she sleeps till 6:30-7:30am (waking up once at 4:30am for a 2 oz bottle... it's like clockwork). Sometimes, if we're lucky, she'll go back to sleep at 6:30am and sleep until 9am... Ahhhhh, nice! This all makes up for the fact that she's a total cat-napper during the day. There are NO 2-3 hour naps around here!

Wilson's a good sleeper too. He goes down about 8pm and sleeps usually until Isabella wakes him up at 6:30-7:30am. As soon as he wakes up in the morning he has to let our doggie Murphy out to go potty, then he has to know where Isabella is. He's so concerned about her.

Ok, so now that you know all about our sleeping habits, I guess I'll go put Wilson to bed...

SAY CHEESE!!!

Easter 2009

We celebrated a wonderful Easter this year! We had to DRAG Wilson out of bed in time to get his basket from the Easter bunny before we went to 8:30 am mass. He doesn't really ever get any candy, so he didn't exactly know what to do with the candy-filled eggs... so here's a picture of him eating his "ole faithful" cereal bar (posing with Isabella's pink basket).


But Isabella acted like she knew exactly what was going on, and couldn't keep her little hands out of the Easter basket. Good thing the Easter bunny knew not to give her any candy! All she got was a rubber ducky, a rattle-thingy, and some baby food... YUM! But she sure does LOVE her bananas!


After we got home from church, we had a nice little breakfast and then played in Isabella's room for a while. Wilson's sporting Isabella's sunglasses...


And little miss sassy pants is showing off her new "sitting up" skills. This is what she taught herself when we weren't paying attention...


Oh, you thought I said "spitting up"? Well, yea, that too...



Then we headed off to the Meguiars' home to celebrate Easter with the whole family. Wilson had to get some hugs from his favorite cousin Audrey...


And before we ate lunch the little munchkins had an Easter egg hunt. Now, I was a little worried that Wilson (being the youngest of the 3 little munchkins) wouldn't know how to hunt eggs, or wouldn't catch on fast enough and not get any eggs in his basket. Well, apparently I shouldn't have worried about that. His basket was overflowing! Way to go WAM!



When all the eggs had been hunted, the kids sat down to take inventory of their baskets. Oh, and by now Wilson had figured out that there were M&M's in the eggs. Smart, eh?



All in all, we had a wonderful Easter 2009... and can't wait until next year when Isabella and baby Brady can play along!!!
