A bunch of randomness, just like you like it...

Turns out, Ashley also has puking problems just like Audrey. Where Audrey cries so hard she throws up, Ashley eats to many sweets, and gets sick. This has happened twice in the past week (and yes, the second time was on Easter, good fun). She eats too many sweets and her stomach decides it no longer wants the sugar in her stomach. She even got shaky yesterday when trying to throw up. So she is on detox and not allowed anything sugary for a week. After that, we will obviously limit her candy intact.

Myrtle Beach was great. The weather was fabulous, the kids had a great time. We wish my parents had been there, but we did get to see my Stepdad for a few hours on Sunday before we headed home. When we go, we stay at their house. My Mom and Stepdad have an apartment in Arlington, VA and are waiting for my Mom to retire so that they can permanently move to Myrtle. I will post some pictures on Friday.

Ray has some sort of stomach thing right now and is at home. You know it's bad when he asks me to send emails out for him. He is normally very connected to his computer. Now he is very connected to the toilet bowl.

We have since found out why we did not get into the magnet school. It is not a true lottery as I first thought...you get in based on certain criteria of your base school like percentage of capacity. There is a woman who blogs about it (see how important blogs are???) and posted all the details on her site. We will apply for a transfer and see where that gets us. In the meantime, we received our track assignment for our base school. Ashley will start kindergarten on July 7th, two weeks before turning 5.

And I almost forgot...I had my first (and probably only) famous blogger sighting this weekend. We were at Myrtle Beach State park and had gone to the playground. Prior to moving to NC, I had been reading A Trixie Update, a blogger who blogged about his daughter and who at the time lived in Durham. He was written about in either Parents or Parenting magazine, which is how I discovered him. Well, lo and behold, there he and his daughter were at the playground. He was super nice even if I was somewhat psycho about it all. He doesn't keep his blog updated much anymore, but he said he would check mine out (Hi Ben!!).

It's a new week, I just finished a pretty intensive class and have a week off until my next class starts, and this is the weather forecast. Bring on spring, I am in desperate need of some good weather...
