there is a lid for every pot

I was watching a movie at work this past month and someone said the line 'there is a lid for every pot' in reference to people and thier mates.
I like the concept. But I am not sure I agree with it.

**********************************
Easter is just around the corner. I have done maybe 2% of all the things I wanted to do leading up to Easter with the boys. I hope to fit in a couple of things tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow morning we are due at the dentist bright and early. CO is getting a 'robot' put in. (story behind the robot: a couple of weeks ago, CO was WAILING because he had a piece of carrot stuck between his molars, I flossed it out and the wailing con't. After 3 days of putting a teething gel on it, we made it to the dentist only to discover that the tooth was broken and a chunk missing. SO, we ended up having to get it pulled as it wasn't worth saving. And tomorrow they are putting a spacer in to keep the space open for when his new molar is due to grow in sometime around age 11...sigh). The robot's name is 'spacer' and it's job is to not let his teeth be lonely and try to grow closer together because if they do, there will be no room for his new tooth. When you are four, calling it a robot is WAY cooler and less scary than a bunch of wire and brackets.

Here is CO with his bubblegum smelling nose just before the tooth got pulled.

After the dentist, we are due to swing by the dr. so J can get his needle that he didn't have to get because he had a cold the last time he was at the doctors. (cute story for that day...we were in the truck driving the the app't and CO says to J 'you are going to get a needle J, but just be brave like Daniel and it will be ok because God is with you!'. It made this mama's heart swell with pride.)

After the doctor, we need to run a bunch of errands to pick up a few last minute things needed for our trip to the nation's capital. We leave Tuesday morning and will be gone just over one week. I am SO excited to get away. I am hoping the travel with the two little ones goes smoothly.  We will travel in the morning. Travelling at night with CO doesn't seem to work as he doesn't sleep in the truck when I want him to, only when it is just before nap time and I am rushing to get home so he can go to sleep :)
The plan is to take our time, stop lots, bring lots of snacky foods and try to not go insane. It would have been nice to have a new 'adventures in odessey' but I didn't get it ordered in time. Luckily the boys love to listen to the first two of the series that we have over and over again.

Our family has grown!!!

meet

chicky stew (black) and chicky soup (white)

CO was very excited about our recent addition. He even temporarily changed his name to 'chicken farmer'.

 It is his job to let the in and out of the house each day, and to make sure they have food and water. The added bonus is that we have gotten two eggs already!
