It's been about a month since I last blogged. Apparently, it's impossible for me to keep up on blogging right now. Honestly, I feel like there are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done. A lot of mornings I get up at 4:00 am, and pretty much go steady until 10:00pm, and still don't get everything done. But, we are getting into my favorite time of the year, and I plan to just keep chugging along until that dang CNOR test is over, only about 4 more weeks. Yikes!
In other news, the weather has been beautiful lately, and we are taking full advantage of that. John and I have been taking nightly walks while the kids stay at home and watch a movie. We are really enjoying our peaceful walks which give us a little exercise and some quiet time away from the kids. The kids have started running around the neighborhood playing with other kids, which is great for everybody. We are really excited for summer, and can't wait for summer evenings and bonfires.
We spent the past few weekends helping in the greenhouse. John and I worked, while the kids played in the mud and explored the farm. We really enjoyed our time in the greenhouses, and can't wait to get our garden going in a few weeks. My parents came to visit a couple weekends ago. We had a pretty quiet weekend, cooked some Indian good, played some card games, and just enjoyed a nice visit.
This past Friday was Good Friday. The kids didn't have school, so they stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house for the night. John and I took advantage of the situation, and had a date night. We decided to check out the Seafood Buffet at Grand Falls Casino. It was really good and we both ate too much. Then we walked around the casino and listened to some live country music. We didn't really feel like gambling, so we had a couple drinks and then headed home. It was a nice evening, but I can't say I really have missed the casino scene.
Yesterday was a gorgeous day that we spent most of the day outside. John fixed one of our fence posts, I raked 5 bags of leaves, and the kids got really dirty playing outside all day. We also played catch and ate supper outside, which the kids loved. It was a great day to spend outside.
Today was Easter. We started with a 6:30 sunrise church service at church. That was an early morning for the kids. John and I sang in the adult choir, and then enjoyed a nice Easter service. After church, we headed home for naps and getting ready for celebrating Easter. We headed to Jim and Barb's for the day. It was a gorgeous 81 degree day, and we spent the entire day outside. We had an Easter egg hunt, flew some kites, played some games, and just enjoyed being outside.
Jim and Barb bought the kids some bunnies to show for 4-H, so we had to play with the bunnies quite a bit during the day as well. Emma's bunny is black and named Bungie, and Elliott's bunny is gray/blue and is names Peek-a-blue. They are in love with their bunnies, and hopefully will be able to spend enough time with the bunnies to have some luck with them at the fair. I am just happy that they live out at the farm, I didn't really want to have bunnies to take care of.
It was a great Easter, but we are all pretty tuckered out. It has been a long day. The kids are finally in bed, I am blogging and watching Chicago Fire, and ready for bed in a little while. The kids have this next week off of school, and I actually took the week off as well, so I am looking forward to a nice week with the kids. Tomorrow is supposed to be another 80 degree day, so I am hoping we will get on the bike trail and spend some time in the park and enjoy another great day.
Happy Easter!!
