The Harrelson Gang: April 2009

Where have I been? You must be wondering. Well, I've been here, just not blogging. So much is going on! Where to begin..

Firstly...I GOT A NEW CAR!!! Well, it's new to me. Russell came home from a poker game a couple of weeks ago and said that he thought it would be a good idea to get a Tahoe or Trailblazer. No, he didn't win THAT big, but his guy friends convinced him in one night that I needed a new car when I've been trying to convince him for 2 years! Long story short, after much shopping and test driving, I am a proud new owner of a 2005 Tahoe and I LOVE IT!! It's so pretty!

Brendan and Aubrey are excited about Easter. I can't wait for them to wake up Sunday morning to see what the Easter Bunny brought them. However, I'm not looking forward to the screaming fit they are going to pitch when they have to leave their loot to go to church.

Every morning when Brendan wakes up he asks where Russell is. I tell him that he has gone to work to bring home the bacon. After about the 3rd day of this morning ritual, Brendan replied, "But he does that all the time!!" So yesterday, Aubrey was playing with her 4 purses that go everywhere she goes and she says to me, "Mommy, I'm going to work!" So I reply, "But, Why Aubrey?" She says, without missing a single beat, "I've got to bring home the milk!" We were out of milk that day. I laughed and laughed.

I feel so bad! My friend Staci started this mail program for our kids so that they would each receive a piece of mail each week. It was supposed start this past week and I totally forgot!! AND, what makes it worse was that I was supposed to mail something to her daughter this week! OOPPSS!! I mailed it this morning, so hopefully she'll get it tomorrow. I'm sorry Mallory!

I feel like I need to create holiday traditions for my little family. I decided this past Christmas that no matter what I was going to make a big Christmas, Thanksgiving and any other holiday meal for the 4 of us since we have no extended family here. My brother's family is here, but they usually spend holidays with my sister-in-law's family. So, the dilemma is that Easter is Sunday. Isn't ham the traditions meal for Easter? Russell HATES ham. I don't know what to do! I guess I'll have to get creative.

Russell and I rented two really good movies this week. Marley and Me and Slumdog Millionaire. I recommend each of those. They were so good. Of course I have my Twilight DVD, which I watched twice...yesterday. I'm terrible.

Until next post...
