Catch up
It's been awhile, but nothing too major has been going on. Tyler just got done with Spring Break. His first day out of school was March 24th. That day he spent the day with Mike's auntie Anne. Tyler LOVES her! He calls her the funny lady and whenever he is around her he laughs and laughs! Friday he was with Elizabeth and we got off work early to drive to Jacksonville for Easter! Too bad we got stuck in the mother of all traffic jams and sat in traffic forever! Tyler watched his Spiderman 2 movie in his DVD player he got for Christmas from Papa. He was loving it. Normally when we drive to Jax he sleeps the entire time, but this time he was up about half way, so it worked out perfectly that he watched the movie. Saturday we colored eggs with Vicky's neighbors. So far, we have only ever colored eggs with family and Tyler is always the center of the whole event, so this was new. I am not sure he was thrilled. My mom boiled eggs for him and they were out with all the other kids so every time someone would take one of his eggs he would just look at them. It was a pretty funny and actually a fun time. Easter morning when Tyler woke up he went into the living room to watch some TV like he normally does, but then he saw some eggs the Easter Bunny had hid for him and he ran into the room to wake me up! He was so excited, "mom, look! Look what I found! And there is more!" I grabbed the camera and followed him out. He was running everywhere getting the eggs and then he saw the trail of bunny prints and followed it to his basket. He seemed really surprised and happy! He looked all through his basket and then went on hunting for eggs. After all that we went to Vicky's house for an egg hunt and then later Tyler went with the neighbor Samuel to another egg hunt and then my mom had a hunt for Tyler and Samuel at her house. There was seriously like 200 eggs! This woman doesn't do anything small! Tyler was in heaven! He was having a contest with Samuel to see who could get the most eggs. Of course he won, but at the end he said, "It doesn't matter who won, we both got a lot." I love it when he is sweet. So for the rest of the week he stayed in Jax with my mom and David. I guess he was having fun, he only called me one time to tell me he "got blood." He skinned his knee or something and trust me when I tell you he is just a tad dramatic when it comes to blood! Sunday in church we sat down and he realized his leg was bleeding, so he pointed it out to me and I was looking all through my purse trying to find something to wipe it on, but I could not find anything so we had to go to the bathroom, later he told my dad that he almost died in church because I made him lose all his blood! Nice!
On Friday my mom brought Tyler back and she wouldn't be my mother if she didn't tell Tyler that Toys R Us was opening at midnight for the release of the Star Wars toys! Guess who was there at midnight? You guessed it. There was the strangest crew of people there. Tyler was so excited. There was no way in the world I was going to be able to talk him out of going. We didn't go to bed that night until 1:30 in the morning! Tyler got the light saber that turns from Anakin into Darth Vader. Must be a hit because all the neighborhood children are jealous!
After church on Sunday we went over to my dad and Lilly's house and he took us over to Tarpon Springs for lunch. At the restaurant our waitress was taking forever to bring us our drinks, so of course we commented on it and Tyler said, "Maybe she is going number 2!" Poor lady. We walked around the sponge docks for awhile, but not for too long because Tyler said he was bored "to death!" Can you say drama?
