The first day of spring






Here are some pictures of our great day yesterday...


The day started pretty well. Josh was a great husband and let me sleep in until 8am because I had been sick most of the night. Let me just say that I can't remember the last time I slept that late, he actually kept the kids away from me until he had to leave to take the boys to school. He definitely won major points with that. After I finally got up, Eve and I walked down to the coffee shop and had a cup of coffee and got some more rocks. We saw our friends Kate and Ez. The kids had lots of fun seeing the fish in the TV. Eve and I then just took a walk around Norwood to the kids school, the library, a paint store, and then on Montgomery to our house. It was really nice and reminded me again why it's fun to live here. We then took the car to get vacuumed and let me say, I was repulsed at the things I found in my car to be vacuumed up. I found old rock hard donuts, suckers stuck to the floor, sprite that had been sitting in a cup holder in the back for weeks, polly pocket heads, and so on. It was really gross. We then decided to wash it too. Eve wanted to run around the car while I washed it, I thought sure and let her. I closed the door and started washing. During my rinse I realized that I should find my keys before Eve locks herself in the car, too late! She already had and didn't realize it. I had to talk her through how to unlock the door, she thought it was really funny. I was trying really hard not to panic. Eventually she unlocked it, I was totally relieved and she didn't even car. She just kept on playing.

When we picked up Josiah from school he and Eve ran to each other to hug, that's the picture up there. It was really sweet.

The afternoon was great, the kids played in the backyard. The girls played in the mud and thought it was really funny to splash each other. Josiah and his sweet servants heart decided to clean all the yard toys and our little house out there. It was really cute.

We had a great family dinner where Noah enlightened us on land forms, specifically volcanoes. He knows all about them. It was really cool to hear him, he really does retain information from school and he gets excited about it.

Today has been great too! Eve had swim lessons and she was swimming all by herself with a noodle and thought she was big stuff. At first she was yelling at me to hold her but then all of the older ladies who come in for water aerobics came in. She stopped yelling immediately and started performing. She had them clapping and cheering for her. It was really cute. The boys walked themselves today for school. I was really worried, not sure why. They were so excited about it, I just couldn't say no.

Now I have to go because Providence is wondering why I am taking so long typing and why am I typing. She wants to clean and has threatened to get the spray bottle and start spraying. I better run.
