Happenings

I'm up listening to the birds singing outside my window. I can feel change approaching. The days are longer, the kids don't want to go to bed. Summer will soon be here.

I think I've enjoyed hiding out in my house the last few months. Not feeling like I have to be social but I can be when an opportunity presents its self. With the sun out, so are the neighbors and all the kids, which means I have to be at least near the window if not outside to monitor all the happenings. Patch can't handle being with a cluster of boys that live near us, and that's what summer brings. A cluster of boys. He also wants someone to walk him to ever neighbors house to see if they can play. The sun is out but he still can't go by himself. I think I'd rather it snow.

We gave Alexa an early birthday present. A later bed time. She is so excited and uses every opportunity to remind us that she doesn't go to bed until 8:30pm now.

The Mayo's are moving back. I swear that's making the days longer. Can't they just get here already? My brother and I have decided they need to buy the house next to him. Too bad it's not up to us.

Chris ran 10 miles with me and Emily N. yesterday. He continues to amaze me and frustrate me all at once. I think it's awesome he can just pull that out but at the same time it seems unfair, all the days I spent running and being sore and exhausted.
After we ran 10 miles he then had me doing pull-ups and chin-ups. He then did push-ups and who knows what else. He also cleaned the garage with the kids and sharpened skates. I just wanted to lay on the couch.

I have the painting bug. I really want to redo my kids bathroom and the boys room. I really need to just pick a color and get the bathroom done. That one's bugging me the most. It's just so hard to pick when there are so many great options out there. That's my goal for this week. Get 'her done.

Yep, lots of random thoughts and happenings. That's how we roll.
