Another rainy (Mon)day!

Well here we are again with more rain.  I have noticed that it has been occurring lots on Monday mornings.  It really sticks with me as these are out art days.  The weather really hampers the activity of playing outdoors and running around on the lawns of the church.   But thankfully we go over to the library.  Love, love, love that we decided to do this.  What a nice place to hang out and get work done.  It is so open and airy.  And very very quiet.   You can hear some hustle and bustle but all-in-all a great place to work.

I actually think my Abs works harder here.  I had to go check to see if they had a book in for Joshua and while I was walking back I was thoroughly impressed that we was studiously working!!!  

Let's hope the weather changes soon as it does affect the baseball too!  There have already been changes to the schedule because of it!

Dragons, gardens, and treats!

We had another free Saturday morning, which is a rarity around here.  I made some pancakes!  Unfortunately I read the bag wrong and they were buckwheat not buttermilk (OOPS).   They just needed a lot of syrup.  Thankfully I had a mix that was pumpkin, and those went over better!!!    Thank you Trader Joe's!

After breakfast Bill asked if we wanted to go out to the movies.  Big yes!!  We saw "How to Train Your Dragon"  It was good.  We all enjoyed it.  It was our first movie with Daddy since Abi has her braces and he loves to buy popcorn so I made sure she had a treat.   She didn't even eat my treat!!!  

Since we were out and it was lunch time we decided to head out to Olive Garden for lunch.  We received gift cards for Christmas!!  What a big hug help those cards are for our family of 5.  We actually had two cards and were able to leave there paying zero dollars!!!!!   It helped that Stephen did not want to come along.  He stayed at home since he was not hungry.   Can't force someone to eat.

Later on, Bill, Josh, and I went out to Target for Easter shopping.  Daddy decided to treat us to Panera!  Yummy!   What a  great day. 

Lunch

I love eating out. It means I don't have to do anything. I especially like getting salads. Yummmy!!!
BBQ chicken salad.

Still House Hunting

Wow!   Is all I have to say about this house hunting.   I am flabbergasted that we have not found anything yet.  We were out again this evening and once again nothing doing.   I must say that things realllllly look so much better on "paper" than in person.

I am still hopeful though.  I am eagerly awaiting the spring sales that are supposed to come on!  I would really just like something but also don't want to settle for just anything.  

Please keep praying!

Schooling at the library

We finally made it to the library. Since we have art class for several hours, Stephen needed to come with us as he needed some help with math. It was raining sooooo hard that working in the car was not an option.  So we headed over to the library since a branch is right around the corner from where we take art.  I finally applied for a library card and boy was it ever so easy!!!

Sunshine, (Lollipops, and Rainbows)

Thanks to all the sunshine theses last 4 days, Joshua and I have been out walking every day.  Today I even took the opportunity to go and sit outside for 40 minutes and read!!  

I also think of Leslie Gore's song each time I say the word sunshine!!  (hence the title of the post)

If you don't know, I love, love, love the sunshine.  The warm weather and the sun just make a wonderful combination.  It even puts the kids in a better frame of mind to get school done.  They have been working pretty steady and good this week.  Still not on track to finish when I want to so we will need to buckle down and work hard next month.  I know they can do it and believe me they will.   I am taking a page from a friend who notified her kids that the teacher would be on vacation so they would need to ask someone else for help!!!  (I love talking to other Moms to find out how we get by.)
