Well, we got some more snow last night...not as much as expected, but enough to cover up all of the snow-free areas that the rain unveiled yesterday. There is absolutely no chance that we will have any sort of drought this year. There is so much snow everywhere!I looked ahead to the temps and am a bit happy to see that there are no single digit temps (highs or lows) in the forecast for the next 10 days, AND, the only precipitation is supposed to be rain. We're inching, very slowly, to spring!
It has been non-stop busy this week...Monday I had a 7am dentist appointment. What a way to kick off the week! Tuesday is Ava's baton class night, so that's always a full evening. Scott also said good-bye to his red truck, and we welcome this lovely new blue one to our family.
Wednesday night, Scott and I got our taxes done...things were going so well, even though we had to file our personal, Scott's business, and his deceased uncle's taxes. We had almost wrapped everything up and were going to head out for a quick dinner, and then, I pulled out a form that required us to amend our 2017 taxes. And that took a full hour to dig through how this situation needed to be handled. We didn't get dinner that night, and ended up having to pay in money for 2017. Needless to say, we were crabby by the end of the evening!
Thursday night I had PTO, and learned that Ava told her 1st grade teacher (and the one who I want G to have for Kindergarten) that G is NOT ready for Kindergarten, and that he's basically a stinker. So, now G has a reputation preceding him in Red Pine! Mrs. M was totally ok with that comment and loved Ava's delivery of her analysis of G. Plus, Mrs M. has 3 boys of her own, so she knows how to handle little boys!
I also had my first big production release for my job, late on Thursday night. I've been working on the team to implement the new look to the dental site, and the first phase was released on Thursday night. It was a great success, and leadership and sales are very pleased with how it came together. I told my manager that I am so happy that I am working there, and she shared that she is very pleased that I'm there, as well. As much as I miss my old co-workers, making this job change was the best decision for me!
Friday was a quick happy hour to celebrate the release, and then we had family pizza/movie night at home. So, that means the kids watched a movie and Scott and I slept on the couches. We were exhausted!
Saturday was a pretty fun day...Ava had her final baton competition/performance for the year. Her class usually has six girls, but only three were able to make it yesterday, Regardless, they did great! And, since they are a performance team, and not a competitive team, they never get awards - but yesterday, they got pins, so it was nice for them to be included and recognized at the end!
Ava also had her spring picture day this past Wednesday, and because I opted in to receive a digital version of the photo, I had early access to see what her photo turned out like. It's a great pic of her, but when I saw her pose, I wasn't too happy. I asked why she did that, and she told me that they got to choose their own pose. It took me a bit, but I do like it now. It's exactly who she is, and will be a great memory of her time in elementary school!
We're all looking forward to a slightly less busy, and less snowy week ahead!
