Shelves

Allan spent the weekend putting some much-needed shelves in our basement. I can't wait for him to load them up next weekend!

Dogurt

Adding a spoonful of plain yogurt to Nugget's food every day has done wonders for his gas!

Spinning

I wanted to try something new at the gym so I took a spinning class on Tuesday. I loved it! It was a killer workout. I've already taken another, longer class and am trying to figure out how I can squeeze in more and keep running at least 8-10 miles per week.

Do I see a triathlon in my future? Maybe!

Ooops!

I noticed a note on our door from a garden center asking me to call about an erroneous plant delivery. I called and the man apologized profusely and explained that the driver lost the card and then delivered it to Overlook instead of Overhill and now he's completely out of peace lilies but if we'll let his driver pick it up he'll be glad to give us a smaller plant in thanks.

I laughed and told him that I'm relieved to know someone isn't expecting my thank you note!

Energy Audit

We had an interesting morning. Allan spent four hours with an energy auditing company going through our house. I see added insulation in our future.

Tom

Thomas made this hat at the Y yesterday. He wore it all morning, including a trip to Sam's Club. I'm going to recycle it when he's not looking!

Alexes

In the first picture Alex looks like David and in the second he looks like Tom.

Ooops!

This gorgeous plant was delivered this morning. By the time I realized there was no card the delivery van was gone and my assumption that it was from Allan was wrong. I'm pretty sure it was a mistake. But I don't even know where it came from to right the wrong. I guess I'll just enjoy it!

Syrup

I served leftover mashed potatoes with dinner last night. David said, "I don't like potatoes without the syrup!" Gravy? I hope he meant gravy.

Moaning Helps

I had to pick Alex up from school yesterday morning. He was feeling ill during his state standardized testing but could not leave the room so he finished his test and then threw up in the trash can.

He laid on the couch and vomited many more times yesterday. At one point he told me, "moaning helps."

Today after laying on the couch and keeping liquids down he asked if he could go on the computer, "because Dad said I should get up and get moving."

So far so good.

Candy

Of all the holidays, Easter has the best candy!

How's the Weather Up There?

So my friend told me there's a former UCONN women's basketball player who is 6'8" with kids that go to her son's preschool. I'm oddly tempted to sit in the parking lot at drop off and watch for her, find her and stand next to her and make tall jokes. She'd make my 6'1" frame look petite! But then she'd probably challenge me to a free throw competition and the joke would be on me.

Thomas

Daddy got the picture you were trying to get, David!
