Happy (early) Easter
I don't get much done on time around the "We Are Reilly" house anymore -- chasing a 1 year old, pulling out whatever he's put in the garbage can that doesn't belong there, pulling out whatever he's put in his mouth that doesn't belong there, kissing lots of boo boos, spelling words for the almost-5 year old so that she can write stories -- or text on mommy's new cell phone -- and the inevitable weekly laundry, dishes, dust and dirt -- I don't have much time left for.....ME!
It's starting to take it's toll on me, I've told daddy that I'm going to run away one of these days and he can come with if he wants, but he must find babysitting......
Anyway, I've got 2 minutes before I must go get little brother up from nap -- he's starting to cry as I type, but I wanted to give this blog a little attention.....
Big sister with some of her friends.....and a rather large peep.
HAPPY EASTER!

Nature, nature, nature?
I love living in the 'country' (per city kids) and LOVE the little critters (for the most part) that live out here...
Poor squirrel....as if we don't feed him enough -- he has to shimmy up the pole to invade the bird's feeder!

Ready for Kindergarten
Big sister is all ready for Kindergarten:
But, we still don't know where she'll be going -- the 2.5 hours to the public school, with lots of running around and being bused back and forth to a daycare center? Or the 7 hour full-day program at the local private school? We went to an open house to the private school and I fell in LOVE with the school and program -- very old building, you could just feel the history when you walked in the doors. It's a small 'community-type', family feeling there. AND -- the good news: it's only about $50 extra a week than what we'd be paying to have her carted back and forth to a not-so-good daycare program outside of the 2.5 hours she'd be at the public school.....seems like a pretty easy answer to me, but we aren't 100% decided yet. We'll know soon...

New Friends
So, my husband has decided to feed the stray cats that roam outside our back door. He's been feeding them all winter, against my wishes. I don't mind feeding the stray cats, but I grew up in the country....I know what comes along with stray cats:
We are currently feeding 3 stray cats, an opossum and a raccoon...
The opossum and the raccoon aren't afraid of the cats and the cats aren't afraid of the 'wild' life either. The sad this is that the opossum and the raccoon aren't afraid of humans either!

Some randomness...
We went to Target today to run some errands and we decided to eat a little lunch at the 'cafe'....we like taking random pictures...doesn't everyone?
We couldn't get Little Brother to look at the camera, let alone fit in the picture!
Big Sister has decided that she now likes, in fact, LOVES princesses! If you know anything about my daughter, you know that this is CRAZY-talk. My Disney Cars loving tom-boy daughter is turning into Disney Princess loving girly-girl. I can't say that I am enjoying this transition....I know that once the princesses hit, then there will be requests for skirts, bikini swimsuits, short-shorts, low-cut tops, make-up, boyfriends and the list goes on and on.....
