What a week!

It's finally the end of the week. However, I must admit that today finds me a little nervous about tomorrow. For tomorrow, we go on Day Light Savings Time. Yikes! At our house, the time change typically means that one or both girls choose to change their sleep habits and someone always has trouble staying asleep! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this time change won't be that bad. It's also a struggle to get Miss Ellie to go to bed when it's still light outside! Fortunately though, this battle will only be important for the next 11 weeks (as Mrs. Laws reminded us this week in her weekly update on Ellie's class). Summer is right around the corner! Slightly frightening! This means there is LESS than 11 weeks until Annie arrives! So much to do!

We had a pretty good week here at the Bennett House. Brian had to work two nights this week which is always an adventure. Monday night, he had to wait until midnight to begin his work (Verizon policy). I tried to be the good wife and stay up with him. However, I only made it to 11:15 pm. I was a little tired.

Tuesday, Ellie had casual spring pictures at school. I have to admit that everyone around here was holding his/her breath in anticipation as to whether or not she would actually let them take her pic. She looked so cute. Mama bought her the cutest black and white dress at Target. It has huge flowers with yellow centers. We completed the outfit with black leggin's and a white headband. Yes! According to Mrs. Laws, we finally got a good picture of Ellie! She was very cooperative and let them take her pic. I think she felt really good about herself on Tuesday b/c she prissed around everywhere. :)

Thursday after FKDO and E got out of school, we headed to Mimi's for lunch with Mandy and Noah. The kids had fun playing until it became quite evident that the Bennett angels were in desperate need of a nap! That afternoon, Nannie and PawPaw came by to see the girls updated rooms complete with new furniture. The girls haven't had much time with them lately, so everyone was very excited! They even stayed for dinner. The kids loved having them here. Ellie put on a little show for PawPaw. She said all of her pledges (to the American Flag, Christian Flag and Bible) complete with the songs they sing with each. We even got her to read for us. Yes, she reads! It is so awesome but a little scary! :)

Yesterday was errand day at our house. Mama and I took Mollie to get some new tennis shoes. Turns out, her size 5 Keds were WAY too small. She needs like a 6 1/2. Yeah! I'm mom of the year. Oh, well. After Ellie got out of school, we ran to Kohl's. For some reason, Ellie has begged all week to go to Kohl's. Who knows!??! She is my shopper! We finished our day with dinner at Mimi and Papa Jim's with Mandy, Josh and Noah.

Brian went to Searcy with his dad (aka PawPaw) to watch the AB Eagles defeat LaFayette County in the State Basketball Tournament. Tonight, the guys play Earle.

Not a very exciting week, but it was definitely busy! So, happy Day Light Savings Time from the Bennetts! May you all find a way to make up the hour we lose.
