TGIF!

I am so looking forward to the weekend. For the first time in a long time we have nothing planned, no running around for basketball or dance. Just a quiet relaxing weekend. Ok this is what my weekend should be like as long as it rains like it is suppose to for the entire weekend. If the weather clears I will have to participate in the Mother's Day baseball game with the church youth group. We will see what happens. Hubby works tomorrow night and again on Sunday (yep Mother's Day) but as long as the weekend stays quiet I will be happy. The kids already got me an outfit for the treadmill but I will have to wait until Sunday and I am thinking of making a chicken dinner for supper on Sunday. I will let the kids help then they will think that they made supper for me. I will be expecting a big mess LOL

Yesterday we got some more yard work done. Slowly but surely it will get done. We re planted another tree and came up with a great idea for a deck for the yard which would be a lot better for the pool so now do we go ahead with the new deck and fence or look into finishing the attic? Heck why not just get a second vehicle to make things a lot easier on us LOL Oh what to do and we can only do one and that will not happen right away. What would you do?

Next weekend is Trinity and Kohl's dance competition with tonight being there last rehearsal for hip hop. Kohl is so excited to be going to his first dance competition. Trinity still has another rehearsal next Thursday for Tap, Jazz and Ballet and will compete all 3 plus her hip hop with Kohl next Friday afternoon. I can't wait to get pictures of their costumes!

Even though it is raining today I still have lots planned. I got on the treadmill this morning for an hour while talking with my mother now I am going to change the curtains from my bedroom to the living room then will have to come up with something for my room. Now making the matching curtains for the from computer room won't happen. I need to be in the right mood to tackle something like that and if I have any motivation left over I will get some more cleaning done around here. I am going through things like crazy and throwing it out!

YARD WORK...

Finally we have a day with no running around that needs to be done and the sun is shinning so we are enjoying the day outside getting yard work done. Since last summer I have been wanting to replant one of the trees from the back yard to the side under the living room window and now it is done thanks to the boys. I have another tree to replant somewhere different but I''m not exactly sure where to put it? Anyway things are getting done around here and later on today we will focus on getting the winter clothes packed away and then take a look up in the attic to see how much space in up there. If it is big enough we will consider turning it into another bedroom but that will mean a lot more work to be done. Right now there isn't any stairs to get up there just a little whole in Trinity's bedroom closet.

Tomorrow the work on the window installation will be finished and I am looking forward to having my house put back together.

SPRING CLEANING

This morning we walked the kids to school and it was soooo beautiful, FINALLY! When we got back we didn't even come into the house, we stayed outside and did some yard work and move the kids basketball net off the house (thank God the thumping and bumping on the house was driving me crazy), it is now on the side of the driveway by the fence and they can still use the driveway to play on. So while we worked at that Blake decided to bring out quite a few of his toys and played and chalked in the driveway. I later remembered his bike and brought that out for him. He kept busy and was so happy to be able to get out to play.

Now for the cleaning inside....I wish! I did get quite a bit of cleaning done yesterday and started to pack some of the kids winter boots and mitts away and found some of the spring jackets and rubber boots hopefully later on today I will get some more work done around the house!

***CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ARE COMING DOWN...

It is always hard just getting back from visiting and getting the kids back on routine and the decorations put away but before the decorations can come down I have to get the house cleaned up and the boxes dug out from the storage room. Although things are pretty busy I am making some progress and I did get outside earlier this morning with the kids...more snow so lots to shovel. I am so thankful for our neighbors who cleared out our driveway while we were away and he came over again this morning and cleaned us out again. It was a great help. I have a couple hours left to clean before heading out to get groceries. I will see how much progress I can make till then. I am SO looking forward to getting things back to normal! :0)
