We've had a very fun, excited, busy, crazy week at the England household.  We made the move over to our new place, forgot to pick Sam up from school on short day, had Carter's 2nd birthday, and Mother's Day.
We are very happy and excited to be in our new place.  We are loving the extra room.  The kids love having a basement to go play in, and I love that the mess stays down there!  We are slowly getting more and more settled.  Hopefully by the end of next week we will be all settled in.  Our kitchen is getting redone this week, so I'll be able to get all my kitchen boxes unpacked.
I've had to start driving our kids to school, because they don't bus where we are at now, and 
Friday I forgot to pick up Sam.  Half hour after school got out, my friend, Ashley Boyle, calls and tells me she is at the school with Sam.  I was trying to figure out why she was telling me that, and I dawned on me that it was short day.  I felt so bad.  Ashley was sweet and brought him home for me.  Both Sam and I were grateful.  I have now set my cell phone to go off 15 mins before I need to pick up Ellie and Sam everyday.  Hopefully, I won't forget again!

Yesterday was Carter's 2nd birthday.  He enjoyed every minuet of it.  We had a little party with family that night at our house.  He got spoiled with lots of nice gifts and fun cousins to play with. It was fun to see everyone and visit.

Mother's Day started off with a bang at our house.  I was spoiled with lots of cute cards and a yummy breakfast prepared by my hubby and kids!  They made me feel like a queen.  I'm pretty sure I have the best kids and husband ever!  I feel very blessed to be a wife and a mother.

I am trying to figure out the logic behind your picture choice from Carter's party..... Just wanted to show all the grandparents sitting around with their mouths open?

ps I'm glad i'm not the only one that forgot to pick up their child on short day...it's a nice little dose of "deadbeat mother" syndrome :)
