Easter




Despite the fact that we had 6 inches of snow this weekend, we managed to have a happy Easter. We decorated a bunch of eggs, then I hid them outside (in the snow!) for the kids to find – which of course was a blast (but would have been better if it wasn’t freezing). Of course we had to take a bunch of pictures of the eggs before we devoured them (yum!)

My life

At the moment we are in the beginning stages of (hopefully) the last snowstorm for the season. We’re expecting 4-6 inches between now and tomorrow morning. Happy spring, have some snow. The kids are pretty psyched though. As I write this they’re getting bundled up to go out in it (even though there’s less than a half inch – minor details right?) So I’m guessing their “captain fever” is over…
In other news, school is going well. Alex has started doing some independent research projects – on his own time, just for fun type of thing. Right now he’s really interested in space so we made a rocket yesterday from an empty oatmeal container and some cardboard, and now he’s working on some planets. We picked up a book from the library with pictures of all the planets in the solar system, and he’s dutifully copying the pictures onto plastic lids that will hang from his ceiling. All we need are some “space raiders” (which I think are bad guy aliens like the ones on Star Wars) and his space theme will be complete. Maybe. I’m keeping all my empty food containers just in case.
Jory’s motorcycle is back from the shop. They had it for over a month. We’re glad to have Diego back. Even if it is snowing. Jory wants to take pictures of it in the snow. We’ll see.

Stuff

So life is insanely busy right now, but I wanted to take a moment for a quick post.
Despite the fact that it’s 40 degrees outside and we still have a decent layer of snow (after 2 snow storms last week!). My daughters have declared that it is spring, and they should be dressing accordingly. As in shorts and tee shirts. I believe they called it “captain fever”. Yesterday Louisa comes to me decked out in shorts and says “Mommy, why is it so cold in here? Good question kid.
In other news, life is good. Busy, but good. A crazy swirl of church stuff and school stuff all mashed together. Making tough choices about what is really important. I won’t bore you with the details. But I am very excited to be going to a scrapbook party this weekend. I leave on Friday and won’t be back until probably around midnight on Saturday night. Maybe I’ll make some progress on my sadly neglected album.

Celebrating

This weekend we celebrated my 29th birthday. My mom took the kids on Friday and Saturday so Jory and I could have some grown up time. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Red Lobster, and cruised the mall a little bit (ok, we hung out in the book store the whole time – I was trying not to sound like an old fart). On Saturday I woke up at the crack of 9:30 and we headed out again, this time to the huge down town library where we spent close to 4 hours finding various treasures (with out worrying what the kids were destroying). Saturday evening found us at a local pizza place enjoying the fact that the kids weren’t eating all of my pizza. We went and picked up the kids after dinner and took them home to get ready for Sunday. Sunday was a mixture of church and hanging out with my mom so that Jory could work on taxes. All in all, it was a wonderfully satisfying weekend.
