Fortune

I feeling fortunate that Brad was able to come home after 55 days of being in Philly. That was way too long. Thankfully, he will be back again for Memorial Day, which is only 41 days. That is a whole 2 weeks earlier!

Since Brad got here after midnight on Friday, we had to pack a lot of fun into Saturday. He made blueberry pancakes for us that morning. Yummy! He cleaned the garage, which while isn't fun, is GREATLY appreciated. We also met our new neighbors. That's right, the house across the street sold. WAHOO! I'm so excited to see that house fixed up and look pretty again.

After all that fun, we went out to lunch at PF Chang's courtesy of our wonderful friends Adam and Natalie. It has been too long since we've been to PF Chang's. We love it!! It was a pretty crazy experience though. SugarPea spilled Brad's full glass of water all over. Lovely. And we took her potty no less than 5 times. I think she only peed 2 of those though. The rest were false alarms. But I've learned that you don't question when a 2 yr old yells "potty."

Besides the yummy leftovers we got to bring home and the 2 desserts we ordered, the fortune cookies we got were really cool too. I think Sugar got this one:

• You have the ability to touch the lives of many people.

Brad's was:

• Doors will be opening for you in many areas of your life.

Won't that be lovely! :o)

And this was mine:

• Happier days are definitely ahead for you.

I get the coolest fortunes. I really do. That is probably why I collect them. And I definitely live a fortunate life.

After PF Chang's, we got to go to Wal-Mart and spend some Easter money we got from Grandma Jessie. We were there for ages because the boys were having a blast picking out their new toys. More Lego sets, of course. They could play Legos for hours. It was a super fun shopping experience, and it was nice to have a super fun one after my crazy ones lately.

SugarPea made it through the day dry! Wahoo! She has been doing great at home, but I was worried about leaving the house with her. She did awesome though. She even made it dry through the night! W.O.W. Yes, I'm still keeping a pull-up on her for awhile. Having said that, I am going to officially declare her potty trained. I think the girl is done! She's totally got the hang of it. In 1 week! What a girl! Yes, I do realize there are accidents in our future, but in general, she has it down.

After our busy day, it was time to color eggs. Oh. boy. Actually, SugarPea did pretty good there too. As good as you can expect a 2 yr old to do. Her hands look like they belong to a Smurf now. haha By the time we got done coloring eggs, and eating dinner, it was time for bed. Sugar had even missed her nap, so she REALLY needed bed.

That meant we did our egg hunt this morning. I would have preferred to do it on Saturday so we could focus on the importance of today, but since Brad just got home, it wasn't really a feasible option. It was hard to let Brad go today, so he stayed a little longer than planned, but you won't hear me complain about that. :o)
