Families turn out to hunt Easter eggs Staff Photo: Jonathan Phillips; Austin Harris bends over to pick up one of almost 11,000 Easter eggs during the first of three hunts at E.E. Robinson Park in Sugar Hill on Saturday. Children encircled the rainbow sea of plastic eggs, anxiously awaiting the three-second countdown for the hunt to begin. Their quest was to find the golden egg. And to grab as many eggs — and, therefore, as much candy — as possible.

WHY

Why is my "Not Me Monday" blog post highlighted in white?  I can not get it to change.  It is so annoying to me.  While I am on the topic of Not Me Monday, I have to admit my husband thought it was a bit much.  I don't think he loves me letting everyone in on that I am not so perfect or feels like people don't want to read that.  What do you think?  Seriously too much info?  Only want the happy stuff or the real life stuff?  Brian and I will have to discuss this "Not Me Monday" blog, because I like it, but I don't want to embarrass him at all. So we'll see if it continues.  Happy Saturday.

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. I LOVE it, so I thought I would give it a try.

I did not wake up last night at 2 am by falling out of the bed because we did not allow Logan to climb in between us at some point.  After not falling out of the bed, I did not wake Austin up by not yelling a bad word.  I did not get him out of bed to discover he did not pee completely through his diaper, pjs, and sheets.  I did not strip his bed and put us both in the bath tub.  I did not play a game of Solitaire on my blackberry while he played in the bath tub and it was not 2:15am.  I did not give him a bottle after remaking his bed so he would go back to sleep.  My children did not sleep until 9am waking up crying about being so hungry.  After breakfast we did not take another bath and seriously did not watch the snow fall - UGH!  I did not put my irritable boys in the car so I could go to the tanning bed and to Publix.  I did not run into Gold's gym carrying both boys because it was so cold and they did not want to wear their winter coats.  I did not leave a screaming Austin in the gym's nursery so I could tan for 10 minutes.  I was not irritated when I went back to get the boys and they did not want to leave.  I did not take two hungry boys to Publix so I could get our weekly grocery shopping done.  I did not open crackers, cookies, drinks, and pepperoni so I could keep my kids in their seat.  Oh I did not get the biggest cart the one with a car attached to the cart so I can barely maneuver through the store.  I did not buy a bottle of wine with my kids in the cart.  I did not tell Logan it was for mommy for later when he asked if he could have some.  I did not let Logan throw the grocery's up on the counter when it was time to pay because at that point I REALLY DID NOT CARE.  I did not put the kids in the car and run through the parking lot to return the cart.  I did not make a healthy lunch for my children of turkey, cheese on wheat and carrot bites with ranch dip.  I did not only eat the carrots and dip.  I did not let Austin cry a few minutes until he fell asleep during nap time and I certainly did not watch Thomas the train for the 100th time.  I did not listen to my almost 3 year old repeat the entire movie word for word.  I did not let him have a fresca and chips.  I did not beg him to take a nap.  I did not agree to rest time in my bed with Clifford on.  I did not play Solitaire on my lap top over and over again.  I did not take an atavan to prepare for the afternoon.  I did not sit through several Phineas and Pherb shows until dinner.  I did not let my boys eat all the mini pepperoni while we made our pizza.  I did not pour myself a glass of wine at 5:30 as my husband walked through the door.  I am not glad that everyone is asleep in their own beds and I am sitting her blogging and watching Dancing with the Stars.  I did not ever think I could admit to all of that, Not ME!  See ya next week for Not Me Monday!

Why the new blog theme?

Well as I had previously stated I am going to have a blog face lift in the coming weeks; as I was looking into today I realized I need time to make decisions about colors and fonts and blah blah blah.  I just wanted it done for me.  Oh well that will come.  So in honor of a little trip I will be taking with my mom and two boys to Navarre beach the blog is beachy!  Hope it brightens your day.  Its a bit cheesy to me.  Oh well, at least it reminds me of the BEACH!!!

I love this blog and love these girls!

Please take a look this fashionable blog Jilly Moo's and make it a favorite of yours.  They update it all time with whats in, sales, styles, whats out, stuff for kids, etc!  I heart Jilly Moos!

"That is so sweet"

Picture taken at my parent's house today during lunch. Logan decided he needed to feed Austin. When I showed him the picture he said "that is so sweet." Love my boys!

MIA

I started working on my masters degree last week. First paper 100%! During my blogging facebook surfing the web time I am now spending reading and writing. So until I figure out better time management with grad school I may not be posting as much.

Quick update -
Logan is moving from toddler to little boy quickly. He doesn't forget anything and wants to do everything on his own. He is still a cuddler loving holding on to ears. We are doing some updates in our house and one of the first rooms we are working on is his room. Logan loves trains - especially Thomas the train so that is the theme of his room - pics to come and don't tell but we rented a trackless train for train rides at his 3rd bday party!
Austin, well he has gone from baby to toddler overnight. He wants to do everything Logan does. He even has tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. We are going to leave his room as is right now since he still loves his crib and won't sleep anywhere else but in his crib!
The boys go to bed around 7:30 and sleep until 7:30 or 8! Austin does wake up once a night for a BOTTLE! I know it is bad. He is too old, but I am tired and he is hungry or thinks he is hungry and at this point a bottle won't hurt any of us.
Brian is liking his job more and working a lot. Not much else is going on. Just trying to manage raising two healthy happy boys, run a household, and go back to school - easy! HA! Hope all is well with you and yours!
