Ending April

Well, today, Chadders had his 1st haircut! He is so stinkin' cute! Unfortunatly he didn't do as good as his Daddy did for his 1st haircut. Accoriding to Gma Force, Daddy just sat there like a good boy. Chadders, not so much. Everytime she toched him he whined. And he had to sit on Mommy's lap. And every chance he got, he would give her a dirty look. Luckily, Marilyn(the barber) was still so sweet and kept trying to make it better. She got it all trimmed up nicely. Not much to save though.
We also got to play outside for an hour or so before it started raining. Chadders and Daddy rode on the 4 wheeler on the back lot for a bit. And then Chadders rode his little 4 wheeler for a while. All in all, it was a great day. Tomorrow is 3 weeks until we fly to California! Woo hoo!

Date night!

Chad and I finally had another date night! Aunt Susie picked Chadders up in Peoria and took him to my cousin, Shannon's, house to play with Jack and Frank. They had a great time! Then off to Decatur for Saturday night.
As for Chad and I, we did yard work in the morning. Which doesn't sound that great, but it's hard to do with a 19 month old. Chad tilled the garden and I mowed the yard. In the process, the mower got a flat tire, and so I ALMOST put it in the ditch again. Then we went into town and Chad spent a few hours at the auto show(voluntered for work). And I painted some pottery. Then we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Yum! And to a movie. We watched Green Zone. It was good, but not what I thought I was going into. I guess I thought it would be more like the Bourne Idenity(seeing as Matt Damon was in it) and not about politics and war. Not bad, just not date night material. And then we were going to get Cold Stone, but we were both still stuffed and it was 10pm. And baby free or not, we are still getting old. Ha ha!
Sunday morning(today) we met a couple of our good friends, Korrey and Laura(and their 3 kids) for breakfast. After that we headed over to Bloomington to meet Aunt Susie and Chadders for lunch!
When we got home we spent the afternoon playing in the yard. Chad tilled the garden again and Chadders and I picked thistles our of the yard and road the 4 wheeler. Chadders had so much fun! We stayed in the back yard, but still had fun. Daddy is going to have to make the trails on the back lot again this year. And to top of the evening I made Amish Friendship Bread muffins. But, I made it with soy milk instead of cow's milk, and bananas instead of eggs. It turned out great! Now Chadders can eat it! I had to make my own starter, since the ones that are passed around are always made with cow's milk. We all had a great weekend!

Easter

Well, Chadders had his 2nd Easter! He spent the night before at Gma and Gpa Force's house since Mommy and Daddy both had to work Saturday. He got lots of neat stuff in his Easter baskets. Movies, bubbles, gardening stuff, a kite, books, cars, blocks, and clothes. He got very little candy(seeing as he can't tolorate it). But, he had a ball. Gma and Gpa have pictures, I didn't get any on my phone. :( and then he ran around in the nursery at Church until his cheeks were bright red. We didn't color eggs this year. Maybe next year. I worry about him trying to eat them, which wouldn't be good since he is allergic to them. Maybe next year he will understand that.

This weekend Chadders will stay the night with Aunt Susie so Mommy and Daddy can have a date night. We went to a movie in Decatur in November. And before that, our last date night was 14 months ago. Ha! Time flies and we get so busy. Hopefully, dinner, a movie, and lots of yard work(welcome spring!) and sleeping in. Then breakfast with some friends. Hopefully we will get some pictures of our garden this year. :)
Oh yeah, and we got a new stove! Woo hoo! Its a black GE gas range! And it works great! How I love to cook and bake!
