  He is happy that the hair dresser got his mullet how he wanted it.  This week, and probably the next two, has been a little crazy. Police Officers have CRAZY amounts of training to do EVERY year, which is why it is SO ANNOYING when you hear "oh, the police need more training". No, they don't. More than likely the training that is being whined about is already being done. They just sound ignorant for suggesting it. It just shows that very little research goes into seeing what training is already required. Anyways, thanks to D being ill the first part of the year, he has tons of training to make up. I am not kidding when I say they have at least 2 weeks worth of all day training that they do every year! Thank God we only have 5 years left before he can retire! Basically, the next few weeks D doesn't get a day off. He has to go in on his off days to train all day.  My Aunt gave me a cookbook for Christmas by Brenda Gantt and we have been busy while D is at work trying

  First off, we had a wonderful, and more importantly relaxing, Easter. The kids still had their egg hunt and T was once again victorious on collecting the most eggs. He now has a three month supply of candy. The girls both collected about the same amount, with L pointing out that technically she had more than A had. L is always competitive with her sister. It must come from being the middle child. We had our traditional breakfast of egg gravy and toast/biscuits. I had some trouble finding a ham this year so we almost made Easter pork chops, but two days before Easter, Aldi came through and not only had a ham, but had it 60% off! I made a potato casserole and some green beans to go with it, but the best part was L made Memaw's chocolate pie for dessert. L made a homemade cinnamon sugar crust for the pie and the combo was just magnificent. It was a great day!  L likes to use shaving cream to dye her eggs. We were out of red dye (and so was the store) so only blues and greens. They s

 This year L's birthday fell on a day where both D and A would have to be at work so T and I set off to celebrate her fun day with her. Our first stop was the Tanger outlet mall. Our Aunt had somehow found out that Lululemon had a temporary pop up store there. L had wanted a new pair of workout pants for her birthday and had received a gift card. This pop up store had everything 60% off! L was able to get 3 things for the same price she would have paid for one thing online! She also found some fun stuff at forever 21. The Tanger outlet mall was really nice. There was a lot of nice outdoor seating and the weather was just beautiful. We plan to go walk around there again on another nice day this summer. After we finished at the mall, L wanted to go to a couple other stores back in Denton and get some Chick fil A. She has become addicted to their market salad. Later in the evening, she wanted to go to her church group to visit with her friends. She had a fun day and even though my fla
