A Little Chocolate

The Easter Bunny made his appearance last week and the amount of chocolate consumed was ridiculous.  Maguire's lips were constantly covered with the yummy goodness...so this momma had to step in and hide the chocolate.  hehe!

We spent Easter weekend at the cabin and loved playing in the sunshine.  It is spring there...so bike rides, walks and playing outside and at the park took up most of our days.  Cody hates that there are always projects to work on, but I keep reminding him that if we want to be able to come and enjoy the cabin during the summer months we need to get everything done now.  We managed to get all the blinds done which has been on our list for a long time...and I even spent an afternoon shortening some of the blinds upstairs.  I should have asked Cody how he would do it before I started cause the first one took me forever.  He came upstairs as I was starting the second one and made a comment like "why didn't you do it this way....??" and man was that sooooo much quicker!  Everything is coming together and hopefully the next time we go I can get some pictures to share.  I love love love it there!!

It's been super busy around here...but when isn't it??  hehe!!  These boys keep me hopping every minute of the day and with school and other activies there doesn't seem to be much time for anything else.  We had a kindergarten meeting this past week and I honestly started thinking to myself "do I have to send him to school??"  It's making me sad that Ryker will be in school every morning...how is that even possible.  My kids are soooo ready to grow up and move onto the next stage of their little lives, but I am not.  Seriously.  I'm going to have two mornings a week next year with no kids!!!  WHAT!!???  What will I do with myself???  I'm not so great with change, and this is almost too much for me to handle...haha!!

I've been contemplating my goals for this year...and thinking about my word...BALANCE.  I feel like I'm on the right track with everything.  Sometimes life pulls me in one direction and leaves no time for other important things, but thinking about balance in my life helps.  I had a situation this past week where I was literally needed in two places at once...and so of course I had a breakdown over it, but after some tears and a chat with my bestie I realized that the choice of where I really needed to be was more important.  Sometimes it really helps to have friends to talk to and complain to :)  My progress might be small sometimes, but I'm doing what I can to move in the right direction.  Life just sometimes takes over and I get sidetracked.  It happens!  Maybe I need to pull that chocolate out...hehe!!
