It has been quite awhile since I have posted. I am trying to limit my computer time, and spend more time playing with my kids I moved the computer out of the kitchen and into the bedroom. Now in order to use it, I have to turn it on every time. Just not seeing it helps me to not “jump on just for a minute” which turns into an hour

The weather has been so nice lately! Yesterday we took the kids over to Jeremy Ranch Elementary and they rode their bikes and played on the playground. I took Nora in my new Ball Baby Overall Mei Tai It is the Galaxy black reversible to black waves. It might be the prettiest carrier I have ever seen It was super comfortable too. I think that may be our summer carrier The kids had a great time. Emma was so funny. When we got there she was scared and didn’t want to ride her bike. But by the end, she was riding all around and doing great. Her bike is really too small for her, but I don’t think we are going to get her a new one this year. It should work until she is ready to learn to ride a bike without training wheels. It is too bad we bought the pink Barbie one, or we could pass it down to Ian. Oh well, at least Nora will be able to use it

We also talked about buying a minivan again yesterday. I really want to buy one so badly! I keep thinking about it, but I know that I should just stick with my Pilot. We will lose so much money on the new van, because we are so upside down on the Pilot loan. I was thinking maybe we could get them to pay off the Pilot without rolling over the negative equity, but I looked to see how much I owe, and I just don’t see that happening. I think that I need to make the right financial decision, and not the emotional one Maybe in a another year or so!

We had our annual St. Patrick’s Day party on Saturday. It was a lot of fun, and we had a huge turn out! I made corned beef and cabbage, as usual. It was delicious!

We are loving the warm weather and can’t wait for summer. North Carolina is going to feel great!
