If we could just get rid of the cold and the rain, we could actually move into the next season. I'm not sure we had spring at all this year...maybe a few nice days, and then it reverted back to chilly temps and gray skies. BUT, we did just come out of an amazing weekend, so I think summer is right around the corner. Granted, it's 56 and rainy right now, but yesterday was great...sunny blue skies, and warm enough that we were able to plant all of the flowers and enjoy some nice time outside with my parents.
Scott and my dad made a good effort to get the boat out on the water yesterday afternoon but every lake was packed. It was a perfect day to be out on the water!
This past week wasn't quite as scheduled as it's been lately, so we had a bit of a break to spend some time at home and recover from the last few crazy busy weeks. My work let us out early on Friday afternoon, so we were able to head out of town at a decent time, so we could kick off the long weekend early! We spent Friday and Saturday nights with our good friends in a small town, in south-central Minnesota. We grilled, we went to a few parks, a zoo, the kids played outside, chilled in the hot tub, watched movies, and just enjoyed being out of the cities. The city park that we spent some time at reminded me very much of the park down the street from my grandparent's house in Kansas. The small town Midwestern feel...I love it!
My friend Tiff and I were able to sneak away for a few hours and do some shopping in Rochester, and indulge in 90-minute massages. This is a tradition that we do every year to celebrate our April birthdays...and it guarantees that we get a chance to hang out without the hubbies and kids. We thoroughly enjoy spending time with the entire family, and look forward to getting together, whenever we can!
We have a fun week coming up...Tuesday night is Ava's last Performance Team baton class for the season. On Wednesday, I'm going to watch Ava do a presentation during the school day, and at night we're going to Ava's open house for her summer program, and then G's k-prep graduation is on Thursday night. It's hard to believe the school year is coming to a close and that we'll have a Kindergartner and a middle schooler next year!
Ava got 3rd overall in the district for the 50m dash - we're so proud of her! AND, her team won 3rd for tug-o-war. :)
Since it's so rainy outside, I think it's a good day to take it easy and read some more books and play games! We watched Captain America last night, so we're continuing to make good progress on our Marvel CU adventure...only 17 more movies to go. Ha!

Ava's final project for the year...a string art piece!

This is what happens when you continually slap your dad with a flyswatter...you get a cupcake in the face! (Scott warned her many times!)
