busy busy.

I have come to the realization that life is never going to slow down... ever.  There is always something.  I try to find some quiet time for myself amidst the chaos each day.  It usually consists of folding laundry with the door closed, laying down on the couch doing some menu planning, or rocking Henry to sleep while Jayne plays on my phone and Petey takes a nap.  Menu planning is the worst.  Anybody have a delicious, easy, go-to meal they would like to share?
I am toying with the idea of opening an etsy shop.  I made these bowties for my boys to wear on Easter Sunday.  They were so simple and took me about ten minutes to make.  We'll see if I get brave and actually take the plunge.
We had the best Easter.  It was filled with lots of fun, lots of spiritual moments, and lots of friends!  I asked a few families over for dinner... I have a hard time knowing when to stop inviting... we ended up with four families.  It was so much fun.  I can't wait to do it again.  The food was delicious.  Easter ham and deviled eggs for days!
This guy loves his solids!  He is really beginning to chub-up.  I love his little legs!
I've been busy making Dance costumes for Natalie's dance class.  They have a recital coming up.  Jayne was lucky enough to model the proto-type.  All of the girls love them... except for one.  She's kind of a little fireball.
I have a new calling as the cub master.  Oh my goodness is it hard!  These little boys have so much energy.  I'm not sure I'm going to make it... but I'm sure going to try!  Any tips would be appreciated... I'm pretty sure 5 out of 7 of them have undiagnosed ADHD.  ;)
