Easter and Alzheimer's....

Easter is an annual event at the Theobald household. You may think that Diana is well versed in preparation for the big event...has shopped for candy (check), shopped for small gifts (check), got the stupid Easter grass that clogs the vacuum for weeks (check), remembers her husband is diabetic (check), puts back HIS candy (check), gets the eggs...check! Makes sure the "Ten Commandments" or "The Robe" is on TV...humpf! What did last years winner of the coveted, "Blonde Mom of the Year Award" forget?..Ummm..just.. Dye for the eggs! We had white eggs this Easter....many may think we are racist...we are not. Actually...let's think about the white egg for a minute. No one accepts it for what it is. It has got to be suffering from an identity crisis ! Poor eggs...well, Easter started with a shout from Bretty Steve...then breakfast...chocolate bunny ears...and paws...and torso. Trading of the candy...then church! More candy....then ham...more candy...then the Easter Egg hunt....Todd aka "Mr. Obvious" hid the eggs this year...it was over in 10 minutes...HEAVY SIGH! :( The kids opened the golden and silver eggs (These have cash or fun coupons) I think Vanessa got $1.00 off of Publix orange juice!!! It was great even though Mom forgot the dye....yeah, I know I could have used food coloring, but Moses was parting the sea, and I did NOT wanna miss that!

And the boy named "Most likely to succeed" by the 8th grade Neptune Middle School class of 2009.....is.."

Not Adrien. He was actually given a better honor in the eyes of his step dad and his peers....the title of "The Biggest Flirt." I know you are thinking, "Adrien? a flirt? C'Mon, Diana! He is so shy and innocent." Yes, I too am proud that my son is a "great communicator"... (he is following in the footsteps of Reagan). I found a church member or two actually upset about it...Pshaw! I am sure they are just jealous because they have never won anything themselves in school...;) Adrien also won class clown, but was not allowed to win in two categories...(8th grade equivalent to affirmative action..)Reagan is in the Celestial Kingdom shaking his head...I know it! Take a look at the picture of Reagan .....now look at Adrien...uh huh...I see it too! ;)

We are grandparents!

No, silly! It is not a real baby!It is Adrien's homework in "Life Choices" class. Adrien had to take care of the baby overnight. The baby is monitored with a electronic device that his teacher set to go off at different times that afternoon and through the night. The baby burps, needs to be fed, held, and needs diaper changes. It also is sensitive to any shaking, yelling, etc. Adrien was very diligent, but was caught muttering some phrases under his breath through clenched teeth! Todd and I laughed a lot! Adrien is convinced that this was an exaggerated version of what a baby does... It was an interesting night...I wonder if Adrien has changed his mind about wanting several kids? Nahhh he hasn't!
