recap of the "sad" weekend

The little ones were disappointed in the 4-H swimming party being postponed. It will happen but not this Saturday - and their mom was dumb enough to tell them where we were going - had I been quiet about it no sadness would have occurred.

The older ones (including Jim and me) were disappointed in the Cats not showing up to play in their elite 8 game. Cam nearly lost his mind entirely over it! I am sure it will take us a long time to get over that loss!

The nursing home had an Easter egg hunt, which we attended, but Harper was sad because it was so cold and windy that I tried to keep her head covered with a blanket - she really hates that! The 4-H club helped decorate baskets for the residents and hide eggs for the kids...good for community service time that the girls still need to get in before Confirmation in the fall!

Overall, I would say that this was one disappointing weekend! I don't want to be a negative poster though, so we did have a few good things go on this weekend. No sports - none! That meant that we had a weekend at home to get caught up a little bit. That was nice. Also, Jim and Colin got a lot done on the basement, I am really starting to feel that we will be able to finish and get the kids moved around in the next few weeks. We found our upstairs hallway and unblocked the entrance to the upstairs bathroom (thank you Madison). We had stored some stuff to be sorted out up there and it was really out of control. We still have a ways to go, but it is looking lots better! And we will be getting our hands on some baby pigs this week, the kids are really excited about that! Jim is attending the last (that I know of) city clerk training class in Wichita this week. The kids are not any more excited this time than they were the last 2 times. However, I am hoping that with the forcast being for 70+ degree weather the time will go much faster. We got our garden tilled and ready to be planted. I say bring on the warm weather! I am looking forward to a busy Holy Week!
