We had a 4 day weekend for Easter break. It was a much enjoyed weekend. I don’t know if there is ever enough days off school for the kids or me. Doesn’t matter much- back to school we went. Summer is coming - 5 weeks left!
Jim and I went to work early yesterday morning. We both have board meetings and nonsense going on. When I got home, the kids helped me with a couple of projects. We got the turtle filter cleaned and I bought some live plants for their habitat, which came in the mail. I planted them, and within 2 minutes they were tearing them up. They are now planted in the fish tank. If you decide to get a pet turtle you should know upfront that they poop a lot, and they are very destructive to decorations and things in their habitat. Rocks, driftwood, water, and their heater is all they will be getting from me from now on! I am still amused with them. Preston and I have been feeding goats their lunch bottles and then watching the turtles until Madison comes to get Evie. Madison thinks we are losing it.
Speaking of losing it, I came in the living room and noticed that Harper had drawn eye brows on Carlos. Why? I’m not sure but I will admit that I laughed pretty hard. He looks ridiculous. Dang it kid. He also looked really adorable in the Easter shirt I found for him when Quincy forced me to go shoe shopping for prom.
I forgot to post these photos of the kids before mass on Easter. They hate when I make them take pictures, but they also know better than to argue with their mom.
Yesterday, we had a pretty significant amount of rain move through. When it quit, Preston and I went out to check over Quincy’s car, which she said was running weird. It was so sparkly and pretty that I snapped a few photos. I found it interesting that I caught orbs in most of the photos I took. Guess maybe we had a visitor yesterday!
I don’t mind the idea, as I always feel like it could be one of our grandparents coming to check in. At least I hope so. I am so proud of our kids, and I like to think they would be too. Mallory took a start off of a lilac bush that my grandpa planted in my parent’s yard. She has worked so hard to make her little house and yard into something amazing. I love how much she has learned. Also love that my kids honor their deceased relatives.
My meetings are over, Jim still isn’t home from his. I know he had to be dragging.
I’m hoping the rest of this week is a smooth kind of week. I am already looking forward to the weekend.
