WHERE WAS THE EASTER BUNNY

I asked Colin if he thanked the Easter Bunny this morning. He got up after noon. He said Where was the Easter Bunny when you saw him. I said I didn't see him but he left a little note. Glad he didn't ask to see the note. I told him the note said he wouldn't get a basket next time if his toys were left in the floor like they were last night. I also told him we need to talk to the Easter bunny about more healthy treats. Colin yelled No way, hmmm I interpret that to mean please don't. I said the bunny brought something other than candy in the past. When you were little, he would bring gold fish crackers & pretzels with a tiny bit of candy.
The truth is Easter bunny mom went scrapbooking yesterday. I bought some candy weeks ago & didn't buy much else. Last night EBM (Easter bunny mom) was tired. I was going to get up early but we had a horrible storm last night. I house alarm went off 4 or 5 times. Every time I had just fallen asleep. So I'm tired & dragging this morning.
Colin has seen the bag w/ the chocolate bunny & other candy. I told him I added some things to his basket. He actually had gotten into the small Hersey bars. He asked if he could have them & I sd yes. Of course I wasn't paying attention & vaguely remembered the conversation.
I made a basket for my nieces & a bag for my parents. A little something for G.

G is not feeling well today. He hasn't been well for over a week.
We are having dinner at my parents in less than 1 hour. I'm making pasta salad. My BIL loves it & I can no longer eat it. This being allergic to wheat & soy sucks. My being allergic to fish & seafood doesn't bother me because I've know all of my life. I love bread, pasta & Chinese food. I have to read every label carefully. I'm gradually getting rid of wheat products in my pantry.
I have all kinds of pasta. I guess I'll make manacotti for the co-workers on the next food day.

2 cars again

Yeah, I got my car back from the shop yesterday. They were able to fix it without replacing the motor. I'm so happy because it saved us money.
A special Thank you shout out for mom & dad. They helped pick up or take Colin to school.
I called G this afternoon. When he answered the phone I started singing on the road again.
He started laughing. He's been stuck at home the last 2 days during the day while I was at work in his truck.
The weather has been a little off here but today it's a GORGEOUS day. I spent most of my lunch hour outside.

Selling chocolate bars

Colin's school is selling chocolate bars to raise money. The first day he sold 10. That includes 3 to my dad, 1 to me, 1 to G & Colin bought 1. He sold 3 to 3 guys working on my parents home.
My mom called him selfish because my niece is selling it too. My mom wanted Colin to split the sales with Colin but he wouldn't do it. This was before I got to her home. She picked the kids up from school because my car is on the blink & in the shop. We are down to 1 car.
My mom wanted Colin to let me niece sell to papa. She said Colin ran to papa & asked him to buy candy. Of course papa & G bought from both children.
He wanted to go to home depot to sell the rest of the candy. I told him we couldn't do that without permission. It's called soliciting. He said let go to ______ & ______ he kept naming
stores. We went to whole foods & he wanted to take them in the store & try to sell them.
I don't know what kind of pep talk they gave these kids at school but he was/is fired up.
I bought them to work today. 1. I'm always buying something from my co-workers for their kids schools. 2. We were buying too many ourselves. Oh my those with the carmel in the middle are so good.

Student of the Month

Colin was chosen for student of the month in his school. I'm surprised & proud. I wonder if he would ever be chosen because he is not your typical student. He his one of a kind. I think having a male teacher has been good for him this year. He thinks he teacher knows everything. :)
We made a poster last night to hang on the bulletin board. Of course I didn't get a photo. :(

March Mad Snow

Colin spent Sunday building a snowman. The snowman didn't turn out so well so he built 2 snow towers. It snowed most of the day Saturday. We had approx. 8" of snow. He wanted to build one Saturday but it was too cold. I let him play in the snow Sunday afternoon. It was melting as fast. Thank goodness it all melted by Sunday night.

Spring Break

I took the week off vacation. Colin is on Spring Break. I've done a little cleaning
this week. I wanted to do major spring cleaning. I found myself getting a little
resentful since hubby is still home daily recuperating. I hate spending my
vacation cleaning. Why is it OK for women to spend her day off cleaning?
I don't know one man that takes the day off to do yard work or any other
household chores.
We head out of town tomorrow for a little family getaway. Colin has been
very excited all week. He's had his suitcase packed since this morning.

protect you- Colin notes for sb

Mommy I need to protect you. Daddy can protect me. No he can't because of his hands. He's sick. He don't have a sword. He can use your sword. He can't hold a sword long because his hands hurt.
