r group to arrive. Slowly but surely, the rest of our t
eam from the Multiples Club arrived (the were on Multiple Standard Time). While we waited for the race, the kids played, and Katie received 
awards for being a s
pokesperson for the campaign and for our group being one of the top fundraisers. Before long our whole group had arrived and we all awaited the start. Once the race began, Kelly Copella's family and Emily and I stayed together.
left. When we got downstairs, all the girls seeme
d very excited and took time looking through their baskets. The first things they really got into were the suckers and sunglasses. After they played with their stuff a little, I started working on making waffles for breakfast. Once we had breakfast, got everyone showered and dressed, we headed outside. There, we prese
nted the girls each with their own Bibles to take with them to church. They seemed to really enjoy getting them. After that, we played with the chicks and ducks before heading to church to meet the Sizemore group. 
my Dad's where the kids played with the chicks and ducks, ate lunch, had an Easter egg hunt, and then worked on a special painting project Lesli
e had come up with. All the kids seemed to thoroughly enjoy painting. 
Along for the trip were the chicks and ducks. When we arrived, the kids showed off the chicks and ducks. After we had played with the an
imals a little while, we headed inside to start the Easter egg hunt. It had been raining a lot during the week, so Mom had hid the eggs inside. The kids had a great 
time looking for them and afterwards decided to try hiding them again outside. After hiding eggs more and playing, we all headed in for lunch.
eet both of them and quickly took to playing with them. On order to let everyone get a good look, we headed to the back yard where they all took turns petting and holding the ducks. 
e playing outside, but Bailey had just come in for a potty break. After a week, they are still doing very well with their big girl pantie
s!! Ansley soon saw Bailey and I coming outside. We were outside just a little while before it was time to head in to get their bags they had decorated and to give the teachers time to hide the eggs. While we waited, the kids had a great time dancing. As soon as they were ready, the kids were handed their bags and we made our way through their playground to the toddler playground where the eggs were hidden. Bailey surveyed the area to see what was going on, while Ansley when straight to the far side of the playground and started scooping up eggs. They both had a great time finding the eggs and after they all had sacks full, we headed back to their class to enjoy lots of 
hen I arrived, there were a few other there and we enjoyed visiting as everyone arrived. We all enjoyed tons of yummy snacks and visiting, along with the movie. I have to say, it was not my normal type movie pick, but it was worth seeing =) 
nic table. Emily decided to try the first egg in the egg spinner. It seemed to be a hit and all the kids then took turns trying the egg spinner and painting the eggs
with paint sticks. Emily's favorite thing seemed to be the spinner for a while and then moved on to the paint sticks. Ansley loved bein
g meticulous with painting her eggs with the paint sticks. Bailey just loved making a mess and trying to eat the painted eggs, shell and all. I was think
ing the first bit would deter her, but the taste test continued throughout the afternoon. After all the surviving eggs were dyed, I took the eggs
, along with some plastic ones, to the front and hid them. They all loved finding eggs and we repeated the process until the little ones didn't want to give up their eggs to have them hidden again. So we then just enjoyed the beautiful day int he back yard. 
met at the Greenville Zoo for a play date. Included int he list were Katie Lynes + boy twins, Jenn Osborns + boy/girl twins, Jenni Bahti + boy/girls triplets, Latosha Anderson + boy/girl twins, Elizabeth Lolis + boy twins and older boy, and me with the thr
ee girls. It was quite the crowd and it l
ooked like we brought the Zoo to the Zoo =) Once everyone was there, we enjoyed a beautiful stroll around the Zoo and even managed to get a group shot of the entire group of kids which was quite the feet with that many little ones. In addition, we hit all the kids favorite, the playgrou 
wives of Ocone County. Too funny!!!
al, the playground inside the Zoo was the big hit. After the Zoo, we all headed to
Chick-fil-a for some lunch and more play time =)
ul 80 degree weather we were having. It was so amazing that the weekend before we had one of the best snows ever in Greenville. 
nner, and more play time. What a beautiful day to be at the park.
gnment sale on March 6th. Around 11, my Dad came over to our house, helped me load my piles of stuff to sale high attop his truck, and then he watched the kids while I headed to the bank in order to pick up the change for the sale. In usual fashion, I am always shocked at how much I have to sale and this year was no exception as Daddy's truck was stuffed inside and out and the toddler beds were strapped to the top of the pile/roof. I drove very slowly
to the bank and then on to the Church where I met up
with Leah. Since there were enough people to go help me pick up the rack, LEah stayed at the Church to help set up and wait for people to arrive. Three other girls and I headed for the UHaul place, I picked up the truck, and then we headed to the storage facility to pick up the racks. With all the extra helpers (usually just Leah and I) it went quickly and we were on the way back to the Church. When we arrived, I backed in the
truck and we started to unload the racks and th
en assemble them. The afternoon flew by as usual as people started coming to drop off their stuff. Before we knew it, it was time for the sale to start. Althoguht it was the usual mad dash, we didn't have nearly as many people as usual. We had lots of fun talking to people and working our tails off trying to make it all work. Things went great and we were able to get out of the Church in record time. Several of us then went downtown to Mellow Mushroom for pizza. I finally rolled home and in bed by about 1 and then back up early the next morning in order to be back at the Church by 7:30. Unlike Friday night on the memebers only night, we had record turn out on Saturday and we very pleased that the sale was a huge sucess!!
us that were in school at the time remember it closed everything down for two weeks =)
wet, but that quickly changed on our way home and there was already a layer on the ground by the time we got home. Everyone was excited as we watched the snow and it really starte
d to pile up in a hurry. Since it became obvious things were going to be closed the next day, John and Emily rode up to LSI to call all employees to let them know not to come to work the next day. By the time they came home, the power had already been flickering, I had but the twins to sleep, and was out trying to get Mange to go to the bathroom. Little did I know when I took him out and only threw over a coat and my crocks over my PJs, would it take him 10 minutes to decide to go to the bathroom. Just as John and Emily arrived home, I was taking the dog inside. Since we had put out a pyrex container earlier to collect snow, we brought it inside since it was very full and I showed Emily how to make snow cream (snow, milk, sugar, vanilla). We all enjoyed the tasty treat before finally retiring for the night. When we awoke the next morning, we found at least 5" of fluffy snow on the ground. It was very beautiful. After a quick breakfast, we 
started the process of dressing everyone in their snow gear. After getting everyone dressed, we headed out for some fun sledding and throwing snow balls. The girls and I were all able to fit on the sled and made some runs down the hill together. After a while, it was time to head in to warm up and take a break/snack time. After that, we suited back up and headed in the back where we had a great time sledding
down the hill, making a pitiful snow made (Emily begged me to make one and then only wanted to watch me make until she totally lost interest before it was finished), and playing with Ian, Joey, Carmen, Will, and Mary. We stayed out there for over an hour since it was so nice outside and everyone was having a great time. Surprisingly, Ansley was the biggest daredevil and could not get enough of the sledding. After such a long time outside, I helped John get the little ones in and then Emily and I played over in Carmen, Joey, and Ian's backyard for a while.
