4 days and other Tuesday ramblings

Hello friends! We've only got 4 days until we roll into Dothan. I'm excited! But, kinda feeling...well...overwhelmed! I always do that when we go on trips. Thinking of all the things that we have to pack. And all the things that have to be done before we leave. I'm still praying that Anderson will be fine on the 12+ hour trip! Eeek!

We are getting ready for mom's great Easter egg hunt. Last year, Anderson looked like this and was finding toys like, sippie cups and squirt toys and he even found a princess crown! And last year, he couldn't even walk. This year, he will be racing around looking for Easter eggs. Ohhh the sheer joy of it all! :)

Have I mentioned that I've taught Anderson a new word?? Yea...it's damnit. I got upset because he wouldn't take a nap after 45 minutes of trying to get him down and as I walked out of the room I said "damnit"(which was always my mom's favorite choice of curse words:) and he repeated it, clear as the day. Please don't call DHR(and to my friend Candice who is a social worker, I promise it won't happen again;) On Sunday, he remembered it from 1 month ago(when I actually said it) and announced it very loudly at the restaurant table for all to hear. In fact, when the waitress came to see if we needed anything else, Anderson said "damnit, damnit, damnit" and thankfully she couldn't hear him! When he said it again yesterday, I told him that momma was so wrong to have said it and if he said it anymore that he was going in time out. I have YET to hear it again, but he's probably waiting until just the right occasion with enough people present for them to whisper..."she's such a HORRIBLE momma". Come to think of it I told my momma to "shut up" when I was 4. And she washed my mouth out with soap(the pump kind) it was just awful!

And just cause you by now think I'm a bad momma(and I promise you I'm not), I was letting Anderson draw with a pen and he drew on his face. Nice! Man! How was he that quick?!
