- I have not done well with my 3 posts a week, have I? It seems as though each time I sit down to blog I get interrupted with all the various things that go on around here.....someone peed on the bathroom floor, someone turned on the water hose outside, Henry's in the fridge...etc.etc. I wonder if anyone reads the blog much, but when I don't post I have so many people come up and tell me they miss reading posts.
- We are loving the springtime weather around here! It has been so nice to be outside pretty much all day and has definitely been a mood lifter around here!
- I have gotten back into hanging out laundry with this weather! Is there anything prettier than a line of clothes blowing in the breeze? The kids are all about helping me hang laundry and they check it a thousand times to see if it's dry yet. I love clothes fresh off the line. And why pay to dry them when the sun will do it for free? :-)
- We are starting a new thing tonight- tumbling. They've been asking forever to do it, so I was excited to try it. I thought it would be something they could all do together. I went to sign them up last week, and....well, no one wanted to do it but Emmy. My boys are such little home-bodies. We will see if they change their minds after we go tonight. I love that it is so casual and very inexpensive. You can go on Thursday and Saturday, or just one.....or both. You don't have to even say which you are doing, you just go with what suits that week.
Dustin looked at me like I was nuts when I said we were doing another activity. I admit it's a bit crazy. But, if it doesn't work we won't do it in May! He was just thankful I didn't want to do t-ball. We are both still traumatized from soccer. We are done with team sports for a while! I can't imagine getting my kids to stand on the field waiting for 10 others to bat. It sounds like torture for me-ha! - Dance is going to be wrapping up next month, so I guess we will have a big break from that, and just stick with swimming and tumbling if it goes well. I have no idea if Emmy will do it in the fall. I say she probably will want to, but right now she says no! I think she is ready for a break from it. She will get a trophy this year cause it's her third year, so I guess it would be a good stopping point if she chooses to stop.
- We are back in the egg business! We got 4 more laying girls on Sunday after church. Now, we are back up to 8 and yesterday we got 7 eggs! They are all in the coop until the new chickens get used to our place....for about a week. I hope the "old" girls will get back into the coop at night. It is crazy with chickens roosting everywhere! We have had some traditional egg hunts around here-trying to figure out where the chickens were laying. We had one that layed an egg in the back in Dustin's truck!
- I found the cutest backpacks for the kids and ordered them this morning. They are really excited about them! Carson's is a print with tractors, dump trucks, and all things that "go". Emmy's is a horse. It's like an actual horse (Stephen Joseph brand-they are the cutest ones!). I wanted something not too "trendy" for their first year.....I knew if we went to the store they would choose Disney princess and Cars or Toy Story. I don't know why, I just wanted something different! I am excited to see how they turn out with their names on them!
Well, I am off to do some cleaning......my most frequent past time! Ha! I read a quote somewhere that said something like...."Trying to clean while your kids are still growing is like trying to shovel the walk while it's still snowing." So true!!
