Busy Times

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. It has been very busy this past month. The biggest things was Addy turned 3!! We had her birthday party on March 5th at Chuck-e-Cheese. Let me say that it was a birthday we won't ever forget. It all started with the cookie cake incident. I had bought her a cookie cake for her party and picked it up that Friday afternoon. Well, Dave, Lisa, Jonas, and Caleb spent the weekend with us to celebrate Addy's birthday so they came down on Friday night. Addy was WAY too excited about Jonas being here. As we were all talking in the living room, Addy comes in and has icing all over her hands and says something about her cake. Tim and I go in there to find that she had taken the cake off the stove and flipped it over and it was now in several giant pieces. Lucky for us, it still landed in the box and not on the floor. We assume she was trying to show Jonas when the cake was a little too heavy for her and she dropped it. Needless to say I was a little distraught! We pieced it back together and took it to the party anyway! All the kids had a blast as Chuck-E-Cheese for the birthday party. At the end of the party, Addy and I were trying to spend her tokens so we could get ready to leave. All of the sudden (right in the middle of the floor), Addy begins to throw up! Now this is the 1st time we have had to deal with throw up from our child! I lost it! Tim had to take her to get her cleaned up and I went to the bathroom to get myself cleaned up. It was way too stressful for me that day. Of course after Addy comes out of the bathroom, she asks for some cotton candy! Kids! She enjoyed the whole weekend because she got to have a pajama party with Jonas, even though they didn't sleep very well at all!

The next weekend we had our family birthday party at my mom and dad's (GiGi and Grandaddy). We had a princess party and the girls had a ball! She spent most of the next week in Lexington because we were having rooms painted.

We got Addy's "new room" painted and the furniture moved over. Her room was our guest bedroom/office. She now has a pink princess room! We also got Stone's room painted cream, blue, and a stripe of brown. Right now his room is nothing but junk and her toys we haven't moved. Over our Easter break I plan on getting the nursery completely finished. I will have pictures of their rooms when I get everything done this next weekend.

I have being doing well. Stone's really been hurting while he is moving around here lately. I've also become very tired. I have to keep reminding myself the reason I'm tired this time is that I have to chase a 3 year old around too! He seems to being doing great though. I'm a little worried about the schedule he keeps though. He is awake alot from 8 to 11 pm and he always wakes up when I wake up during the middle of the night. Usually during the day I hardly feel him, especially when I'm walking around at school. The only thing I can thing of is the walking puts him to sleep!

Tim has been busy with school and grad school. And I've been busy with school. We have TCAP coming up in two weeks. I know both of us will be glad when its over! I will try to keep everyone update with the Strickland's a little better during the month of April. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!
