Bears and Sand

Megan and Seth had both been given a new bear by a lady from the motel where we stayed at. One was blue and the other was brown. Well on the way home Megan wanted us to go back and get a brown bear. I told her that she had several brown bears and that we would find her a brown bear. I didn't look very hard. I just picked up the few that I came upon. As you can tell, the O'Donnell cubs are in good shape when it comes to brown bears.

Are those sun glasses or sand goggles?
Cheese it up!

Happy Anniversary

Greg and I had a great time last night at the Colingsworth Concert. Mom came by and picked up the kids and Greg and I headed to Florance to Cracker Barrell. Everything was good. We left there and went to Meijers to pick up some sand box toys for the kids. We had just got the cover for the sand box on the kids new play area and so Greg got sand and put into it. They had a few toys for it but we wanted to get them a few more. After that we had thought about going to the mall for a little bit but was afraid that we would run short on time so we just headed toward the concert. We arrived in plenty of time. In fact, the doors weren't open yet when we got there. The weather was nice so it was no big deal to wait outside. While we were waiting outside a squirrel came running down the steps and scarred me half to death. All I could think of was Ray Stevens and his, "Mississippi Squirrel." The concert was great. They were actually filming so it was kind of neat to see them stop and say, "We need to do that again." It made you view them as plain old people like us. I'm sure the Salary is a little different. Anyway, we had a great time and it was great to spend an evening with this wonderful man that the Lord blessed me with. Love you Greg!

IHC

I went to IHC on Thursday. Mom, Dad, Megan, Seth and I went. I had a good time. It was a little different not having Greg with me. Actually, it was a lot different. Again, I don't realize how much he helps out until I go by myself. I was talking to my sister in law and when I got ready to leave I told Megan to get back in the stroller and she did. Well, my brother stopped to talk to me and after that I took off again. I got over to my mom and she said, "Where's Megan?" She wasn't in the stroller. I STRESSED OUT!!!! I gave mom the stroller and told her to watch Seth. I went back to where I had been with Paul and Dorine and she wasn't there. I thought, "do I have security lock the doors, what do I do?" Then I pick up the good old cell phone. I called Dorine and the first thing she said was, "Megan's with me." It was then that I started crying. That was the worst that that had happened to me in a while.

5 years

This weekend is our Anniversary. As Grannie would say, "5 beautiful years and never a cross word." I am really happy that Greg and I are together. I has been a great 5 years. We are going to dinner(first Anniversary Dinner without kids) and then we have tickets to see The Colingsworth Family in Cincinnati. We actually thought about taking the kids but it sounds like it's going to be a long concert and I don't think the kids are ready for that yet. Greg I want you to know that your a super husband and a great father to our kids. Love you and looking forward to our date!

Laundry

Sometimes Greg will help me with the laundry. (A task that I hate.) I had mentioned to him that Megan's Easter dress could be washed but you couldn't put it in the dryer. I was very impressed when I went into the master bathroom and found the dress hanging here drying. Am I lucky or what? Greg, your the best! Love ya.

Whoop it up

When we got home this evening from the grocery it was almost 10:30. I was getting ready to get Megan out of her car seat and she said, "I want to have a party and whoop it up!" I about cracked up. So here is the Coke party that we had. She has been wanting to drink out of a glass coke bottle and tonight was the big night to "Whoop it Up!"
Here is Seth at the "Whoop it up" party.
