How to be a pArtY aNiMal

The stars aligned.
It was the annual Father Son camp out,
Savannah got invited to spend the night at a friends house
and Delaney (my cuddle monkey) and I prepared to have a little partay.
We did some shopping, got lots of food.
Then the phone call came.
The camp out was cancelled, due to rain.  Oh the joys of living in Seattle!

The party must go on!
The boys were relegated to the downstairs and Laney & I took the upstairs,
which is exactly where we planned to be.
Food...Check
Pizza Rolls & Snicker Ice Cream Bars
(On a side note...
Pizza Rolls?  I know.  So gross. 
But about once a year I crave the yummy grossness.  It can't be helped.)
Movie...Check
Just Like Heaven
Bed...Check
Lane made the bed for me, she's the best!

We got all snuggled up in bed, started eating our delicious treats and were enjoying the movie. 
Sometime after finishing our food I noticed I was getting really sleepy and falling asleep. 
I immediately felt guilty for ruining our little girl party. 
I leaned over to check on Delaney and found her asleep. 
I touched her little cheek and asked her if she was sleeping. 
She sleepily opened her eyes and smiled at me. 
I told her to go back to sleep, internally celebrated and went back to sleep myself.
So what if we fell asleep by 8:30, we're still party animals, remember the pizza rolls...A-ni-mal.

When I got up this morning I was laughing with Andy about how early we conked out.
Turns out he came up at 7:45, we were both out.

Flemons & Feaster

So, I said I was back and then I totally disapeared again.  Woops.  There are so many things to blog about, so I'm just going to start with some old stuff.

We were in Cali for Spring Break.  It was awesome.  Kind of.  If you take away 4 sick kids, we're talking fever, sick for multiple days kind of sick, and one Mama who was so OVER making the drive to Cali, then it would have been super awesome.

My mom had some fake lemons that we dubbed flemons.  So when it came time to plan our faux Easter dinner it became Feaster.  We had to travel home the day before Easter, darn work, so it was planned for that Friday.

Well what do you eat for a Feaster dinner, you ask?
Well of course...Lasagna, Broccoli Salad, Deviled Eggs, Mini hot dogs in philo dough, and Texas toast.  Sound yummy?  Yeah, not so much, but it was delicious. 
The best part is I had my parents referring to it as Feaster by the end of the week.


We did manage to get in a couple half day activities, lots of rest, and an Easter Egg hunt. We were able to talk Savannah into hunting, probably her last year though.
