Is anyone else's spring of 2014 looking absolutely crazy beans?  It seems like things are beginning to steamroll and won't slow down until about mid-July.  On our calendar for the next 3 months we have:

5 weddings
1 brother's high school graduation
Randy's 30th
Our 5th anniversary
Our annual garage sale
Charlotte's 2nd birthday
1 (possibly 2) out-of-state trips

   Not to mention Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, countless birthdays and church activities, etc.etc.  And I thought December was busy??!  Speaking of busy-ness, one of the blessings of having at least one of our families close by is getting to share in all of the birthday celebrations.  Recently we went to my sister-in-law's to celebrate Kevin's and Madison's birthday, which fall within one day of each other.

   I'm not sure what Randy and Kevin are talking about here?  The effects of the decibel level achieved by 4 small girls in one house on one's eardrums, perhaps?




 And of course no party is complete without a few cupcake faces.  Adorable ones at that, I might add.

Well that's all for now.

   Brief, but that's just all I have in me today. If you refer back to my "parenting is awesome and the hardest thing ever" post, I received a first-hand lesson in that today as Jocelyn escaped out of her bed during nap time, out the front door, and went over to the neighbor's house to play while I was here, in the office, oblivious, working on this post and other things online. Sigh.

So like I said, that's all I have in me today.

How's your Monday going?  Hopefully better than mine.
