An Update!

It seems as though nothing is going on, but really there is a ton going on. HA!

First, Meghan has officially sold 371 boxes of girl scout cookies and I look forward to logging in all the cookie orders this weekend and getting them ordered. She is thrilled because she beat her goal 3 times. 200/300 and then 350. We are so happy for her. She will be a member of the 350 club and get invited to the district pizza party - which I pray is in Fargo so she can go, she gets to vote on next year's prizes or recognitions and she gets a special pin. Yeah! Meghan!

Katie is having issues these days and she seems very stressed out about life. I hope it will pass soon as I hate seeing her so sad. She doesn't want to play piano any more but we can't let her quit when she only has two more months left before lessons are done. I just think she has a lot on her plate and she is the one that likes to just sit and vegged and all these things are cutting into her vegging time. But DI will be done in 3 weeks, dance after that, and then Faith Formation will also be done. She is truly talented we feel at the piano and we hate to see her not have the opportunity. So to help, for the next three weeks we are only having her practice 20 minutes a day instead of 30. I know once DI is done, things will lighten up for her, AND us.

Ryan is a barrel of fun as usual. If you ask what is in his mouth he will proudly tell you "CROWNS" and then show you his crowns. Yesterday I caught him and he had shoved toy animals down the back of his pants. No idea why. Just thought he should. He does like to play with his brother at times, but hates when Aaron gets into his stuff. For us it's just deja vu with the girls.

Aaron is walking so much faster these days. He is hard to catch. He steals my keys and goes and hides, spins around in circles, turns off my computer and dances every time there is music on. He loves to dance and he has some good moves to boot. It's very cute. He only has 6 more weeks left to wear his helmet which kind of makes me sad but I know it will be fine.

Chris is training for the half marathon in May. We are probably going to go up to a friends house to see him run. Hope we will be able to get back to watch the marathoners come by our house, but if not that will be ok. The girls are going to run the 1.2 mile with the neighbor girls and Ryan will run the 1/2 mile. Should be a fun day.

I am busy trying to do some spring cleaning around the house and plan the projects for the summer. Next weekend we plan on painting the front entry way. I know it's Easter, but unfortunately it's the only open weekend we have had and will have. Very sad I know. I am also over halfway done treating the wood in our house. There is a lot of wood. UGH! It's fun to see it all clean and shiny.

I enjoyed my weekend in the cities and hope to go again this summer to catch up with some other friends. Chris and I need to get away too but I have no idea where we would go. We'll figure something out I am sure.

Well that's it from here.
