What a crazy few weeks. Company coming for four days leaving and then company four days later staying a week. Add to that working over time at one job and picking up shifts at the other. Then we have two different spring sports. Two different charities I am a part of and planning the elementary school carnival. I also started spring cleaning. I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff but there is still more to go.
And the kids want to be fed every single night ;).
Spring break started Friday. It is the first time in years we haven't gone anywhere. I am little depressed about it as I see friends posting pictures from Florida, Mexico and California. Some of it was because I was going to work the middle of the week and Easter Weekend. So we would have only had a few days last weekend when we had company. Camping was the original thought until we did a trial run in the backyard and realized it was just too cold (for Lee). In the end it was a good thing we didn't go because there was snow Sunday morning. So much Lee called a snow day from church and we stayed home and played in the snow and drank hot chocolate and ate cinnamon toast.
Due to "lay offs" at the hospital I ended up not working in the middle of the week. We could have gone to Utah and played but that costs money. Then I thought we could go visit the kid's grandparents but they had plans. So we are staying home. Yesterday Lee stayed home part of the day and the kids were left alone part of the day, I came home from work to a clean house and Lee saying we should eat out at Costco. :)!!! So we went to the park and then to Costco. Today we went to help my mom with some spring cleaning as well as picking up some material to wash and iron. Tomorrow the older kids will be gone half the day with my mom and the little boys and I will go to the park. Maybe a new one??? Plus the majority of the week is track practice in the afternoon.
I lost two library books. I have no idea where they could have gone. So part of the decluttering/spring cleaning is in hopes of finding the books. I haven't done as much as I thought we would but the house is improving.
Kids closets and dressers tomorrow. Andrew needs all new summer clothes so I am hoping to get a good idea of what he needs. Jake and Victoria are on their own for clothes I know she needs s whole bunch of new clothes as well. Never ending. There is always some child who needs something.
