Catching up

Well, it's been quite sometime since i last longed in. I guess things have been really busy. After Jeff's family (his sister and her kids) left, I had to leave that weekend to go to Tan-Tar-a for my conference. It was the first time I left the boys and Jeff since ....well ever! All in all- it wasn't too bad. I learned some new information and got to shop at an awesome outlet mall. Since I was going to be gone for St. Pat's day I had to make the Leprechaun come early. Saturday night the boys had won two green glow sticks at the mall, I made shamrock cookies for my class, so they would have them Monday, and the boys went to bed as normal. When they woke on St.Patrick's eve as I called it, they made the Leprechaun come early because they were playing with those green lights and because I made those yummy cookies which they think the leprechaun ate all of because I took them to my class before the boys woke up. Also, on the letter the leprechaun left it said " I ate all of your cookies and tasted your milk" I put green food coloring in the milk, the boys loved it. The letter led them on a hunt to to find a few treats from the leprechaun. It was cute and I was glad I could make it seem real for them. I was so happy to be home Tuesday evening and the boys were grinning ear to ear when they picked me up. Hopefully, I will not have to go out of town for quite some time again. The next day I got to spend the day with the boys because of the 13 inches of rain that fell. So, that was nice.
