Serious Catching Up to Do!

I am way behind in my posting.  I've skipped ahead and forgotten to post some stuff.  I think I get caught up in Facebook and don't realize all of the time that some people aren't on there to see what I'm posting.  Anyway, this should catch everyone up to the present. 

Megan started school in the middle of February.  I started my Esthetics business at a new salon at that time and needed to find somewhere for Megan to be.  My mom helped me out in my first 3 months in business so it was time to give her her time back too!  Megan was very excited about her first day and thank goodness didn't cry....until the second day.  When we got there she went right in and started playing.  It was great for me because I would have lost it if she had started crying and had to be pulled away from me.  Instead I made back into my car before I lost it.  Since then, she has better days than others but overall is having a good time and is meeting new little friends.

Megan spent the night with Aunt Mimi in February and took a special trip to the Children's Museum and got to see Clifford the Big Red Dog which she still talks about!

A blustery day in the backyard trying to get some yardwork done.  Megan doing her share to keep our pampered Sampson dry.  Pathetic.

So everyone knows now that we are having a baby boy.  When we found out we were pregnant we decided that we should switch bedrooms with the kids.  Ours was a little bigger and would accomodate two kids better than Megan's current room.  So the weekend after we found out the news we got busy.  Probably not the best planning because having Megan around was a little hectic and hard on her because there really wasn't anywhere for her to take naps, etc.  But we made it through.  This is a picture of Megan's room before the new mom and dad paint.

Megan was so excited to help paint and had a lot of fun.

This picture was probably taken at at least 9p.m.....

After FOUR trips to the store, one to Fred Meyer and three to Home Depot, we finally got the paint colors right and on the walls!  Oh I was so annoyed.  But it looked great when it was all done!

I still have as of yet to take a picture with our furniture/decor in the room.  And I totally spaced taking a before picture of our old bedroom.  But I'll post a final kids room picture when it's all done.

Last Saturday we took advantage of a local Easter Egg Hunt in Sherwood.  It was a beautiful day and perfect for the hunt.  Megan was really excited of course!

Megan was "scared" at first when she saw the Easter Bunny but then she saw the bucket of lollipops.  Enough said.

Waiting for the hunt to begin.

The hunt was over before we knew it but Megan got her fair share.  We told her just to run as fast as she could and then start picking up candy.  Well apparently that's what all the parents told the kids because Megan chose to do it her way and picked up the candy they were all passing up.  If she found an empty egg she held it up to me confused and tossed it back on the grass.
