2012 Blue Jeans Week 13

Spring is definitely here, and I was kind of worried that summer was already coming because we had two days in a row where the high was 90~  Way too early for that.  We survived the pink eye of last week.  I had kids home 4 of the 5 days last week with it, but all is clear now.  It is not fun, but if I had to choose between stomach flu and pink eye, I would choose pink eye :)  Soccer and track are in full swing now, and this month is going to be crazy!  People say that December is the craziest and busiest month of the year, but I think April/May top it easily.  Here is what we have been up to this past week. . .
Sunday:  3 of my kids stayed with my younger sister and her husband for part of spring break last week.  They had a wonderful time!!!  We met them and got the kids back today.  It was nice to have everyone home again.  The house had been too quiet :) 

Monday:  Lawn mowing season--let it begin.  I mowed the lawn for the first time this season.  I think this is the earliest I have ever started to mow.  My 6 year old took this picture for me :)

Tuesday:  Ben gave me some beautiful roses for my birthday last week, and they are so gorgeous!

Wednesday:  The youth in our church at practicing for a big regional cultural event with singing and dancing for the dedication of a new temple 2 hours from us.  Miss A and Miss O have been practicing a lot for it.  Tonight the local youth were practicing the dancing.  Miss A and her cute partner :) make sure they get the steps right.

Thursday:  Miss O and Ben practice their duet for their piano recital coming up in a few weeks.

Friday:  Miss E helped me decorate for Easter today and hang our Easter eggs in the front entry.

Saturday:  Soccer!  Miss E is the only one playing this year.  She had her first game today and did really well.  #10 is our girl!

Hope all is well with you!  Thanks for stopping by!

Mowing the Lawn

We have a fairly big yard--about 1 acre, and it takes Ben about 1 1/2 hours to mow (it takes me 2 hours because I am a little slower) on our riding lawn mower.  We have been in this house for almost 5 years, and the first time I moved the lawn was last year.  Ben didn't want me using his mower--wouldn't even let me touch it.  I offered several times, but he politely refused.  Finally the first time I got to mow it he was weed eating while I mowed, and when he was done he kept looking at me and motioning  "Get off"  and following me around and saying "My turn."  I just kept going and laughed.  I don't know what it is with guys and their lawn mowers.  This morning I was talking on the phone with him at work and said, "I am going to mow the lawn this afternoon."  "NO!" He says, "I will do it when I get home."  I said, 'When? We have this and this and this, there is no time." "No," he says, "I will do it."  I said, "What?  You don't like the way I mow the lawn?"  then he didn't really answer and I just laughed.  It must be a guy thing.  But I admit, I would be kind of leery of him using my Cricut, so I guess it goes both ways. :) But I'd better go, I have to get the lawn mowed before he gets home :)
