I got a scolding tonight and it was no April Fools!

Cris talked to his mom tonight and then passed the phone to me and I was informed it has been way too long since there has been a post. I have to agree. It has been way too long. I have reclaimed my life now it is post Spelling Bee. Spelling Bee??? Yes, I took on the assignment of planning the Spelling Bee for the boys school. It pretty much consumed my life since January. I used to use the excuse that when I wanted to blog someone else was hogging the computer but now I have my own laptop so I have no excuses. I just need to put my pictures on the laptop so I can blog them too.

So since it is a new month and my "spare" time is not consumed with Spelling Bee stuff I vow to blog more regularly. There will be some serious catching up to do since this is the only journal/scrap booking happening at the Richardson home. Currently, we are enjoying Spring Break with late nights watching movies, play dates with friends and sleeping in. We just watched the Discovery Life series. The kids LOVE it and it is rather fascinating. And then Zach asked what sex is because the whales were a little frisky with each other and the narration mentioned s-e-x. Not ready to go there with Zach yet!

We did have some April fool's fun today tricking Zach by telling him he had dirt on his food. It was Alex's idea to put crushed Oreo on it. He fell for it hook line and sinker. Just as he did last year when we told him there were little rocks in his pancakes - really they were chocolate chips.
Tonight, we egged our neighbors. Not with real eggs, but rather plastic eggs filled with candy. The boys loved it. Unfortunately, Syd drifted off to sleep on the couch and missed the fun.

We have one more day of fun and a lovely General Conference/Easter weekend to look forward to. Then its back to our crazy but normal routine of school, scouts, piano lessons, soccer practice, flag football practice, Syd's playgroup and preschool, Cris traveling here there and everywhere, baby Teagan (mine and Syd's real life baby doll during the day), coupon shopping, tackling the projects in my craft room that have been piling up and embracing change (our ward split last Sunday). Oh and Zach asked if I would plan a Math Hornet. "You know, like the Spelling Bee but with math." Great idea and very creative. I will get someone on it. Just not me! Any takers??? Having said that, I like routine and I like my crazy life and I'm grateful to have a wonderful family and friends to share it with.
