HAPPY THOUGHTS

As much as I dislike the whole time-change thing--

having more hours of daylight is so nice!

Yay for sunshine!

Spring is right around the corner!!

Even if it does snow another time or two, the end is in sight.

It is in the fifties today!

The kids are finishing up lunch and then heading outside!

To mud.

At least clothes and kids wash.

Now that Spring is right around the corner, we're in full swing wedding prep mode.

Two family members are getting married within the next 2 months.

We are also making painfully slow progress on the house.

Time and money.  Ya know?

Paint and carpet are coming soon.

Then we need to move the boys into their new room and swap all the other rooms around.

Oh, I never mentioned that did I?

Yes, instead of keeping the playroom a playroom..we decided to play switch.

The boys are going into the former playroom, the girls are going into our room, we are going into the closet girl's room, and the boy's room is going to be the new "playroom."  It is small, but at least an area to put the toys etc.  It is exciting and daunting at the same time.  It will likely be several more months until it is all done since we have to paint and re-paint and hopefully change some flooring in the process.  After the boys are moved into their new room, the girls have to be moved into the boy's old room so that Mike and I can vacate our room for them!  Oye!  I think it will be worth it in the end.  The bedrooms the kids have right now are really, really small for 2 and 3 people in them and this will allow them a bit more space.

I am feeling a lot better.

Last week, I did have a bit of a set-back, but thankfully we're back on track.

I see the doctor next week again at the 6 week mark.

I am thankful that we have been able to make a bunch of local homeschooling friends.

We try to meet every Friday morning at a local (literally 2 minutes away!) church to have an open play time so the kids can just run some energy off.

I can't WAIT to get outside!

On that note, baseball is right around the corner..

Batter Up!
