Phew! After enduring a horrendous week-long February vacation w/the 3 kids, I was skeptical about making through the April week off in a pleasant frame of mind. Thankfully, my worst fears were never realized & the week went by quickly & w/no drama or horrible behavior! Phew!
The weather was wonderful, sunny & cool. Perfect spring weather for New England! Both girls, A & E, rode their bikes & played in the sandbox. They needed very little interaction from me. What wonderful imaginations these 2 girls have when playing!
The oldest boy N, is in AAA Little League so I played catch w/him. He really enjoyed the "1 on 1" time w/o having to share w/his sisters. He is a very happy boy when a grown up is paying exclusive attention to him! I love the sound, "thwap" when the ball hits the leather glove! His aim & his power are good enough to make this activity FUN!
Oh, I have missed playing catch! My girls were never into the whole sports thing & when they did try to play catch, their aim wasn't very good so it was more like... chasing ball instead of catching! Oh well! I love my girls anyway!
I learned how to make N laugh! My senior moments gave him the giggles, big time! Like when I couldn't find my keys & leaving my phone at Burger King! Yeah, he laughed a lot this week! I am also very sick of the soundtrack to Frozen, the Disney movie! N sat in the front seat & controlled our music on my touch screen in the car. He hit the songs w/mens voices in it, over & over! All last night, "Fixer Upper" & "Frozen Heart" were in my mind on a loop track! Ugh!
The week is done! Now I am in full "Carlotta preparation!" She, T & M will be here during Mothers Day weekend to help celebrate Cs COLLEGE GRADUATION! Yep, C is graduating from SNHU! Too much excitement for this old lady in the upcoming weeks! Bring it on!
I should also mention that B applied for a promotion several months ago. Having done a similar move a while back & not getting promoted, he was skeptical yet hopeful as was I. On Thursday, he got the promotion! Came w the expected increase in workload as well as a sizable raise. Congratulations to B & his hard, much appreciated work ethic for supporting his family! Thank you!
