Not Me Monday- Tuesday edition!

This weekend, NOT being Easter and all, was NOT a barrel full of monkeys. And by 'barrel', I mean household. Because all 7 of our kids are here this holiday, PLUS an additional (nephew) with Autism. Let me tell ya, it has NOT been one crazy set of days!

We did NOT take all the kids out to Waterton yesterday. We did NOT take our chances with the Autistic child and did NOT not give him his medication for the day. Lucky for us, he was NOT great. We did NOT take a hotdog picnic, where we ate salad and fresh fruit and hotdogs over the fire. (Okay, wait, for reals, we did NOT put fruit or salad on the fire. ew.)
(
We did NOT have the most perfect weather. We did not skip rocks, where my three kids exclaimed that Daddy Chris can skip rocks 100 TIMES!!! Will did NOT make sure to skip them 101, just to be on the safe side!
The kids did NOT find a few patches of snow, where a snowmen/snowbear did NOT erect. They did NOT also find a dead fish. ew. Notice said fish in the bottom of this picture.
We did NOT climb rocks, we did NOT see deer and elk, and we did NOT have fun. We then did NOT trek over to the golf course where we did NOT stealthily walk around the brush finding stray golf balls. Lemme assure you, we did NOT come home with nearly 150 balls, and Mimi is not the best ball-finder in the family. (which, I'm sure, is NOT because she's shorter and closer to the ground to see them! Unlike me, who is NOT mostly blind. That would have NOTHING to do with it at all!)

We did NOT reward the kids with hard ice-cream cones. That did NOT cost us over 25 dollars...because, seriously, I would NEVER spend that kind of cash on ice-cream! :)

And, in reno news: Will has NOT lovingly hooked up a make-shift sink in the middle of the 'kitchen' where I can now use the dishwasher. YAY!! My lazy butt My awesome self does NOT love that. He is also NOT amazingly finishing mudding the drywall, which makes us NOT that much closer to the next step of having cupboards up! eeeeeeee!!
