Birdie in the BBQ!

So Graydon loves to BBQ and today he wanted to BBQ.  Well he went outside to start the grill and when he opened the top a bird flew out and scared him to death!  This is what he found.  A huge nest!  there were even five little blue eggs in there.  The poor bird didn't know what to do and just kept coming over to look.  We left it open and hopefully they will move soon.  Kayla loved looking at the eggs and the birdie.  She was watching out the window for the longest time.

Nervous!

Okay so I have been working for KinderCare Learning Centers for two years now and I have been working towards becoming management.  Well I am currently interviewing for an Assistant Directors position and I couldn't be more thrilled.  This would help us out so much because then I would get a discount in the infant room for when the new baby comes on the scene plus then i would be progressing and achieving a long term goal of mine.  The second interview is tomorrow and I feel prepared but I still get nervous.  But there is another little thing that is making me even more nervous.  There is two of us interviewing and the other girl is one of my good friends at the center I am currently at.  We both would benefit from this greatly and I can see how we both would do a good job so it is pulling me in two directions.  I really REALLY want the job but I don't want to feel bad if she gets the job.  So all of this is compounding into great nerves!  So I'm am really trying to put everything into the Lord's hands and to just do my best.  So here I go and I will let you all know what happens. 

Easter

Well first off we started with dying Easter Eggs!  This was Kayla's first time and she did wonderfully!  She loved every egg and wouldn't let me do any of them!  The only thing we had a problem with was that she didn't put the eggs in the dye very gently and all the eggs ended up being cracked.  But she had a great time so it was well worth it! 

The next morning the Easter bunny hid Kayla an extra special gift!  Yep a tricycle!  She loved it!  We are still working on peddling and she prefers to just scoot around pushing off the ground with her feet but she loves it.  She will get it someday but she loves her new bike.  

Speaking of new stuff we are getting ready for a big trip to Florida with my family.  Well I took Kayla to a store called Kid to Kid.  It's all gentle used clothing.  Well I found this swimsuit for her for $3!  I love it and she does too if you can't tell by the pose!  2 weeks and counting until Florida and a much needed vacation!

The chair incident...

So I have gotten a beautiful new glider rocker and love it.  Well so does Kayla and has labeled it as Mommy and Kayla's chair.  The other day I went to the bathroom and came back to this.

Yes that is pen all over my new chair.  Well luck for me and Kayla with some carpet cleaner it came off really easily and looks just like new.  Well lets just say we had a big talk about coloring only on paper after this.

There's a baby in there!!!

This is Kayla's new shirt to announce that she is going to be a big sister.  The front says "I have a secret..."  the back says "I'm going to be a big sister."  She had to come with me to my first appointment and it really hit home that there is a baby growing in my tummy.  She always asks me about the baby in my tummy and tells me that she is going to hold the baby.  Then she will sing rock a bye baby to show me how she will hold the baby.  It's very cute!

 

Next is my new favorite thing!  I got a Glider chair!!  I never had a rocking chair with Kayla and I really wanted on and this was on sale and it's the one I wanted so I got it!!  It's nice because we have most of the big expensive stuff already so we can get the few things that I really wanted to have and weren't able to.    It's very comfy and Kayla thinks the ottoman is her chair.

 

Next is ultrasound pictures! Sorry they aren't very good but I took a picture of the ultrasound pictures.  But if you can see the little peanut in the middle is the baby.  The heart beat is good and everything is looking good.
