More sickness, PJ's, and the Terrible 2's

This week kind of went by as a blur while JB was working in "the big city." After Kinsley's Easter pink eye, I took her back to the doctor and found out she had an ear infection and a nasty cough. So then she gave that hacking cough to me. Colby has been the only one not to succumb to our germs. Maybe it's his diet of saltines and Sunny D. Who knew? 

Kinsley was well enough to make it to school on Thursday for Pizza, PJ, and Popcorn day (can you guess what letter they have been studying?). She also went to swimming lessons and is totally rocking. I am shocked at how much she has learned in such a little time.

On Friday, my mom and I went to the Holly Springs Annual Pilgrimage and toured all the beautiful homes (pics to soon follow). It was a gorgeous day and I loved seeing all the old homes and hearing about their past. It was also nice to get to hang out with my mom without being interrupted every 30 seconds by, "Hey Mimi can we..."

On a sad note, my sweet, sweet little Colby has hit the terrible two's. He's only 20 months, but what can I say he's advanced. He's still sweet and cuddly but now can throw a temper tantrum that rivals only his big sister's. Pray for us all.

It's Finally Official

We're moving to Texas! After months and months of waiting, negotiating, waiting some more, Justin finally signed the papers today for the transfer/promotion to a new territory in Texas. While we are really sad to leave our wonderful family and friends, Justin and I both feel that in the current economy and time in our lives that this is where God is leading us to go. Now we are in the midst of all the chaos that goes into moving.  Let the craziness begin. Oh and by the way, I know absolutely nothing about the great state of Texas except questionable attire of the locals i.e. belt buckles and cowboy hats. The boots are okay. Pray you never see me in Wranglers.

Happy Easter!

So our Easter weekend didn't quite go as planned. Friday night Justin and I went to a special event at our church called "A Walk with the Word." It's the 2nd year we've gone and is a very powerful and moving account of Jesus' last words.  When we go to pick up the kids at Mimi's, Kinsley's eye is red and swollen. Saturday morning her eye is worse. I take her to the doctor and the diagnosis is pink eye and a cold. Gross. We miss the church egg hunt but we have our own in the backyard since it was such a beautiful day. On Easter Sunday the boys head to church in their finest and the girls stay home.  Boo.

Colby was more into playing ball.
Apparently he gets that from his dad.

How cute are these bunnies?
Looking sharp!
They even coordinate!
Poor baby!

Egg Hunts, Agent Oso, and More

This morning was Kinsley's school egg hunt. All the 3 year olds hunted together. It was so much fun. All 30 seconds of it.

Kinsley ran out to the back part away from the masses.

Both of my kids are obsessed with the new Disney show Agent Oso. Kinsley saw that you could go online and sign up for him to call you. She was all kinds of pumped when he finally called.
My two little helpers made my bed for me today. I think they did a pretty good job!

Redbirds Game

This weekend a friend of ours scored us some great seats to the Redbirds/Cardinals game. The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun!

Busy Week

This week was a busy one for the Brennan household. Justin was gone for 7 days straight and that is a long stretch even for us. Luckily we had lots going on to keep us busy. Kinsley had her first t-ball practice this week. She also had her first 2 swimming lessons, had a dentist appointment, and had her school program. Colby and I basically shuttled K around all week. We also had a play date with the Curran girls... so much fun. Here a few pics from the week.

The best pillow fort...ever.

Kinsley's program was hilarious. Thirty 3 year olds can't help but be funny. Kinsley was very serious the first part of the program. Then came "He's got the Whole World in His Hands." My child could be heard over all of the others. Love it!
Colby was mesmerized the whole time.
Who needs baby gates when you have a bathtub? 
I am so ready for spring. We are getting ready to do our spring planting this weekend. While the kids were playing, I took a few snaps of our yard.

Since I rarely (and I mean rarely) drink, I like to do in style. Check out my new wine stopper. Did I mention JB was gone for a whole week?
