Six. Two Months

 6.2 Months

• We celebrated Easter this month. You were given the book, Purrmaids. You mentioned it a couple weeks ago, so you were really excited to get the next one in the series. The weather was really nice so we were able to have our egg hunt outside. We invited the McKnights over for dinner and it was fun for you to play with both Megan and Ezra. 
• Dad had been in charge a lot this month while I was gone for Grandma Peggy's funeral and for my Florida trips. While I was in CA, you got to go to Mable's house after school. You thought it was so cool to walk home to their house, feeling pretty old. On Friday, Dad helped you guys with your chores, but after Sam's soccer practice he took you guys go to the Pizza Factory for dinner. On Saturday, you guys ran out to Lewiston for Sam's soccer game. I know you missed me, but you loved how dad spoiled you with more treats and screen time than I give you guys. 
• We had a windy day and the snow has finally melted, so we snuck outside to fly the kite. It was fun to see you guys get all excited about it. Plus, we played soccer and jumped on the trampoline. It has been so good to see the ground again.
• Just kidding, it snowed again. I had taken the snow tires off the van and the city couldn't plow the road before school. I couldn't get the van out of the driveway.We had to hand shovel it and go back and forth about 100 times. I finally got out and got you kids to school 30 minutes late. 
• I headed out to FL and you had another week with Dad. This was a hit more juggling. A few days, Maggie and you were home by yourselves after school making dinner. You were able to go to friends houses and ate more pizza at Lewiston for soccer games. You weren't sad, but you were so excited when I came home and mentioned how that felt really long for you. You are blessed to have such a great dad to do it all for you guys. 
• The weather is finally feeling like spring, I think for reals this time. We had a s'mores night where we tried Oreo s'mores and cookie butter s'mores. The winner was Oreos. We are hoping to try the different flavors throughout the summer and have a championship round with friends. 
• You needed new running shoes but when the ones that I ordered arrived with laces (didn't realize that), I guess it was time to teach you how to tie your shoes. Maggie sat down with you and I nailed it after a few tries. Way to go.
