Hmmm ... according to the calendar spring has sprung ... unfortunately our weather isn't exactly resembling "spring!" I can not wait for warmer temp's and the snow to melt!! What a cold, snowy winter we've had ... I'm scared it's going to take until June for the snow to melt and our summer will be short :S Hopefully not!! I can't wait to be able to play outside in the back yard, go to the park to play and have a picnic lunch, go for bike rides, walks (in shorts!), hit the beach, plant my flowers, etc, etc! We're all really looking forward to the activities of summer :) Blake looks out into the backyard every day and gets excited if he can see the ground!! Sometimes he says, "I can see a leaf!! Yay! Spring is here!!" lol! Blake and Emerson both have their rubber boots out and are anxious to wear them :) Blake went against his norm this year and picked out Batman rubber boots instead of Thomas rubber boots ... lol!!! He's had Thomas rubber boots for as long as he's been walking ;)
Not too much is new around here. This week is Spring Break, so all the kid's activities are cancelled this week. It's nice not to have to rush out of the house to preschool! We usually need to leave here around 8:30 am and with getting 3 kids dressed and ready and nursing Reese it can be a bit "crazy!!!" Most preschool days I have good intentions to get ready early and hit Timmie's, but what most often happens is we're running late and I can't get a coffee!!! Or I drive by 3 Tim Horton's and the drive through line ups are so backed up, Preschool would be over by the time I got through them!! We don't have any plans for our week off, originally Cal was going to take a day off and we were thinking of doing something fun, such as visiting the WEM Waterpark and Galaxyland or something "different" that we don't usually do, but then we realized all those attractions would be jam packed and decided no thanks!!!! We might try the Servus Place play gym one day or the drop in Toddler Time, which I've heard is great.
We've been tossing around the idea of a few home reno's and have decided to do 2 things this year! We're going to paint the main living areas of the house (not the bedrooms as they've all been recently painted) and replace the kitchen appliances. I've very excited about this :) The painting part might throw a bit of a kink into our everyday, but maybe the kids and I will go to Stony Plain for a few nights while the painters do their magic! We have someone coming over to give us a quote this week. Now to pick a color/colors!?
Cal and I have both been putting a few miles on our new treadmill! Cal more then me ... but he's training for the 1/2 marathon in May and I'm doing the couch to 5 K program, so he naturally is running MUCH farther then me!!!
We hope everyone is doing well and keeping their chin up, in regards to this loooonnnggg winter!!! Spring and then summer will soon be here ... right?!?
