Choices, Choices

Talk about a busy week. This morning started off earlier than usual for me and the girls. Several of our family members have left to Arizona for Easter. We are the only family on my Hubby's side that is staying home because it's just not that easy to take two small kids on an eight hour car ride. Besides that, we are so spoiled to have such great weather here on the Central Coast of California, so when we travel anywhere else that has even slightly higher temperatures, we just can't seem to function:) Well, since we're not doing any traveling, we're house/dog sitting for two sets of my in-laws. This morning the girls and I headed off to the first house in our jammies to let out the dog, bring in the paper, etc. Then it was off to the second house to check on things. The girls liked our little morning adventure, since it's pretty unusual for us to just get up and go in our jammies first thing in the morning. They especially enjoyed our trip to McDonald's on the way back home!

So, since I've been so caught up in hatland this week, I haven't given much thought to getting ready for Easter. Since we hadn't been attending church up until just recently, I haven't had to think about planning for traditional Easter outfits for us for the last two years. Well, this year is different. I found this dress for Alyssa at Target the other day. I think it will be really cute.


As for Audrey, I have several choices considering that she got about 10 new dresses for her Birthday! I have narrowed it down to three, but I am still not sure which one I like best. Here are my choices ( in no particular order).

Dress #1

Dress #2


Dress #3

As for my outfit, I totally hadn't given that any thought at all. I hate shopping for clothes for myself. Clothes for the girls, that's a different story. I am not exactly a small girl, so shopping really isn't all that much fun to me. I especially can't stand what's happenened in the tummy area after having two kids. I even laugh when I think about that because one time recently Alyssa and I were getting ready to take our shower and she saw me looking at my "rolls" in the mirror. She asked me what was wrong. I told her that after I had her and her sister, my whole tummy just went, "blehh," and I made this motion with my hands to emphasize how I felt about the sagging going on doing in my tummy area. She thought that was hysterical! At bedtime that same night, she repeated the whole story back to me and said, "Mommy, after you had me and sis, did everything just go "blehh?" It was practically on the floor laughing so hard, I almost thought I was going to pee my pants.

Well, I am still trying to figure out what I'm going to wear. That's one of the things on my To-Do List. As for Audrey's dress, maybe a few of you out there can lend a hand and suggest which dress you like best. We've already had the discussion about my trouble with being indecisive, so any help is appreciated! I have lots more posting to do today to catch up on the other days I didn't blog this week, so I will be back later! Hope everyone is having a great day so far!

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, SYLVIA. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Also...Don't you just love the new song playing? It totally speaks to me and I can feel the Lord's presence every single time I listen to it!

SATURDAY 4/11 UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who left me a comment with which dress you liked the best for Audrey to wear for Easter. I think it's safe to say that we all agree that dress #1 was the favorite. I've decided to go with that one, so now today's mission is to find what I will be wearing! Happy Easter everybody!!!
