11 Years

3 minutes left before we pick up the kids...
There was a day last week when Nils went to work, I mopped the floor, went to some kids' Easter parties at school, met at a doctor's office with the whole crew, ate dinner at Costco, dropped the kids off at the neighbor's house for our Friday night neighbor 2.5 hour babysitting swap, and spent our time alone doing Easter shopping.

It was hot. It was hot because it was our anniversary. We seriously debated between going Easter shopping and going home and taking a nap. We're wild.

Nils gave me an electric griddle and it's almost the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love it. We felt sorta lame all day because we didn't have big plans, but it just seemed like running around was the right way to spend the day. Because that's life, and we love it and we're happy to be spending it togetha. We were asleep by 10:00.

Seriously, I can cook 6 pancakes and like 3 slices of bacon at the same time on that thing. I'm in love.

What are these pictures of which you speak?

We were camera-less there for a while, since we sold the big camera, and lost the little one. The little one was a replacement of the old little one that we also lost. Then last week, someone showed up at the door with the old little lost one and said they had found it about a year ago and didn't know whose it was until they looked through the pictures. Confused? We have a camera! Maybe someone will show up in a year with the new little lost one. Dude. That would rock.
 I gave Anders a black eye this morning with eyeliner so he could play an April Fool's trick on his class. He wanted to keep his eye closed all day to make it more realistic- I'll be curious to see how long that lasted. Silly boy. He also rode his bike to school today, since the weather has decided to give us a lovely little spring tease. 

This is a sight we behold every Sunday morning: Ava as Nacho Libre. Nils loves to pull those tights up as high as they'll go. We laugh, and she laughs, but she doesn't know why. It's funny.

Aani ate nearly an entire carton of strawberries- or took at least a bite out of every strawberry in the carton. She did this smallest to biggest lineup herself, which just added to the hilarity of it. Then she kept holding her tummy, saying how full she was. She's such a funny kid.

Cuteness.

Things are busy 'round here. We've had meetings and appointments every night this week, and the schedule doesn't seem to be clearing up anytime soon. Nils has spent a couple of nights this week at work, since they're launching a new website today and he's sort of the only one that does that there. It's been nutty and I miss him. I think I'll call the Waaaambulance, and plug. Plug, plug along. All is well.
