I recently discovered peeps, you know the sugar covered marshmallows that come in the shapes of chicks and bunnies at Easter. I say recently because I have never been a fan of marshmallows so I did not think that I would like them. Turns out that I am a fan of SUGAR coated marshmallows in the shape of cuddly little animals. I bought some peeps at Wal-Mart Saturday night while we were grocery shopping. When we got home Mason and I had one, turns out Mason is a huge fan of peeps. Sunday afternoon after church, we had lunch and the boys were supposed to clean their rooms before taking their naps. Ross and I were in the kitchen talking and Mason (the stealth bomber) snuck into the kitchen and grabbed the peeps of the counter and RAN. The whole time stuffing as many peeps as he could into his mouth!!!
Saturday, Cole, Drake's BFF, came to spend the day with us. They played inside and out and in and out all day. We also had T-ball practice, Cole and Drake are on the same team which seems great but they are an unstoppable force when they are together. Coach Jerry figured this out on Saturday and they now play on opposite sides of the field.
While at practice, Mason learned to climb a chain linked fence. He was going up pretty high and then fell and busted his bottom. I thought that would be the end of the climbing but it turns out that Mason is only afraid of things that he will probably never incounter, like bears, and not those that really could hurt him, like climbing fences. Because of this Mason had a near death experience later Saturday. We have 2 dogs and the boys like for Mack, the boxer, to be put in his kennel, 7 feet high chain linked fence, when they are playing outside. But since the boys had been in and out all day I had told them that I was not going to put Mack up anymore and they would have to play with him out. So Drake and Cole decided to play inside the kennel and lock Mason out, see where this is going. Mason then decided to climb over the fence. I was doing laundry and heard "Miss Amanda and MOMMA" coming from outside. I ran because they sounded scared, when I got outside I saw Mason teetering at the top of the fence, he couldn't figure out how to flip over. He finally did and thankfully he is strong and could hold himself until I could get him down. HE IS STILL NOT AFRAID!!!
Sunday, we had a great Easter musical at church. There was an Easter egg hunt after church but it was freezing, really freezing so we went home. Valorie (Ross' mom) and Taylor (Ross' youngest sister) came over for dinner. Great food and family, can't beat it.
Later, Heather and I went to the gym. Good arms workout (hard, really hard, not easy) and a 20 minute run walk on the treadmill. Heather and I are going to do the Poultry Festival 5K in June so we are training for it. More on that later!!
One more note, the pictures published of Drake, Mason and Lane were all taken by one of Melissa and my good friend, Brooke Allison. Brooke is a nurse and an awesome photographer who lives in Rison. She does great work. All you girls in South Arkansas should check out her work and use her is you can.
