I am trying to figure out where to even start it has been so long since I have done a post. Easter was very nice this year and the kids had a wonderful time at Grandma’s egg hunt. They both found out the woes of eating too much candy and sneaking candy into their bedrooms where we did not see it and then eat it. Unfortunately that also meant a few long nights on our end up with them when they were sick. Now the Easter candy is a great after school snack and is monitored and behind lock and key.
With the warmer weather outside the kids have enjoyed playing outside. They don’t understand why it is not time to run through the sprinklers and put on swim suites. I would like to find a way to just bottle an ounce of their energy to use each day to keep up with them. They are having fun and being kids and that is the best way to be.
We have spent a lot of times at the dental offices for the kids and Brian. Katelyn was such a big girl and her work done on a tooth and was not sedated. What a brave girl she was and made the choice on her own to finish the tooth without rescheduling. The dentist was very good with her and gave her stickers, bracelets, and a stuffed bear for being so brave. She now talks about how much she likes the gas and wants to go back. She sure takes after her daddy! Shawn goes in to finish his work next month. Brian’s work is a work in progress. A few more trips and he should be taken care of also.
Katelyn and Shawn are also finding an interest in gymnastics, which makes me smile since I loved it when I was growing up. I have been able to coach them a little bit on a few tricks on the trampoline and they are getting better all the time. This summer I would like to get them into a program at the recreation center for swimming lessons and a sport of some kind.
Brian and I are staying busy with work and keeping up with the kids. We are also gearing up to being yard work and have done little projects here and there to start. It feels like we just finished last fall and it is time to do it again. The time these days is flying by too fast!
We hope that all is well with your families and wish everyone a wonderful Spring and beginning of Summer.
