I am knee deep into week two out of four weeks of Spring Break. Daughter had a glorious week last week with weather and having fun with her friends. Week two has started out well with the boys: started painting the white trim (total pain in the butt but boy oh boy it looks great!), got the back forty mowed (thanks to hubby and middle child) and I took the boys to see The Lorax today. Nice afternoon with my two favorite boys. I work again tomorrow, more laundry and more painting, but that's ok. It is progress.
Next week is MY week off. And guess what?? My folks will be here the whole EIGHT days I am off. I was really looking forward to sleeping, working out and painting: at my leisure. My parents are pretty low key, but 8 days gets a little high maintenance. They are going to help me paint, take me to lunch, and we will spend some time doing stuff we don't get to do when the kids are home. I know it will be ok, but I was really looking forward to some time to myself. I suppose that's what summer is for??
Speaking of projects: We have a wooden playset in our backyard that looks like
Or I would like to tear the whole thing down and be done with it.
Husband wants to keep the unsafe shelter. Hoarder.
My kids have spent the last couple years in the court playing but I see them taking a turn to a more enclosed space. Any ideas on fun stuff to put in the back yard for 8-14 year olds? It is nice to have them enclosed and easy to watch.
I have been doing well with my 10 week/10 lb challenge. It is down to 9 weeks/9lbs and I am on track. I do find I do NOT move as much when I am home as I do at work. Summer will be a challenge.
I have some fun things coming up and I can't wait to tell you about them.
Thanks for reading!
