Easter Packages

The kiddos got some packages from their Grandparents and I let them open them in the hotel.

And here’s Ayla surrounded by her goodies, but more interested in reading the comics her Grandma used to line the bottom of the box.

Easter Baskets!

Evren never had a doubt and just knew the Easter Bunny would be able to find us at the hotel.  And what do you know?  He was right!

Watching

Whale Rider

Reviews

Ayla:  Uh, I didn’t really like it.  (But she did watch it all the way through and she makes really good popcorn.)

Evren:  (I can’t ask him because he fell asleep 30 minutes into it.)

Jenn:  It was okay.  I actually didn’t get up from the couch or attempt to work on my laptop, or fold laundry or something while it was on, so that says something I guess, it had my attention.  Slow, but interesting.

Love Birthday Parties

This party didn’t have a piñata, but the kids had a blast anyway.  It was a party Evren was invited for his friend Kevin to at a gymnastics gym, and Ayla was lucky enough to be invited to join the fun also.

Evren in the Pit
I only had my phone with me, and the camera isn’t good with action shots, so I had to get him to sit still somewhere so I could take his picture.


This is the first ever video I am taking with my phone and uploading to the internet. Ta-da!

ayla-swung-out-of-the-picture
This is Ayla on a rope swing.  Well, by the time the camera on my phone snapped the photo, she had swung out of the shot.  She’s to the far right where you can’t see her.

Here’s a video instead:

Then she was very sweet and pushed all the little kids on the rope swing after that.

And then Kevin’s mom fed us all pizza and cake, and we got full, and I didn’t have to cook dinner.  I love Kevin’s mom.

From My Inbox

WARNING!

 The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.

This virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK).  If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever – DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!  This virus will wipe out your private life entirely.

If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.  Take two good friends to the nearest liquor store and purchase one or both of the antidotes – Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER).  Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends.  If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is, sadly, controlling your life.  Get help immediately!

(Thanks M!)

You Are a Sub


You are casual but a bit picky. You know what you like, and you know what you hate.If you’re able to do things your way, then you can relax. You like to have a say.You love variety and adventure. You get bored easily if nothing changes.

You’re always looking for the next new thing. You tend to get creative and think outside the box.

My Nightmare Job

The kids had a fun time at the children’s museum. I’m sorry I don’t have any pictures of Ayla, she ditched us as soon as we walked in. I followed Evren around with the camera because I didn’t know what else to do.
