crazy

we've been super busy here. clay is getting huge, and walking and getting into lots of stuff. he likes to climb on the furniture now and jump up and down.

here he is sitting on the neighbor's cow in the milking barn. we stopped in to see her when we went out for a walk. i think he likes cows. don't look at me -- i am grinning like a dork, and look either mentally subnormal or slightly deranged.

we celebrated easter yesterday, because i have to work on sunday. yay. can you sense my excitement? my mom and dad and nieces came over and we had an easter egg hunt. my dad hid the eggs... and then forgot where he had put them, so that made things interesting. he kept trying to hide them from the dogs, because they were trying to take them.

eventually, we found eggs, and managed to keep the dogs away from them.

we had chicken for dinner, because nick hates ham. well, he hates alot of things, so cooking is interesting. when i met him, he said he would eat anything. now he won't eat anything.

but the chicken was a really good recipe -- sweet and sour chicken. yup. nick hated that too. it's like having a kid who's a picky eater.

so since he doesn't like my cooking, instead of finding stuff he does like, my new goal is to teach nick how to cook. i think that will be much easier. but then again, having the house burn down due to a cooking fire is not desirable. perhaps i should just stick to shepherds pie and steak and ale pie.

such are the joys of marriage.

speaking of cooking, i need to get going and make lunch before i go to work.
