A Good Sense of Humor Will Get You Through

This is a van that Wile spotted in the Lowe's Parking lot!! Awesome!

Man...time just flies by, doesn't it?

Here it is Friday afternoon again...another week gone by.
It's been raining and raining for the past couple of days, but the weekend
is supposed to be 70 degrees and sunny!
Sounds good to me...Good for opening the windows and wearing shorts.

I can't believe it's almost May already.
This really is my favorite time of year.
We've been talking about camping a lot.
I am so itchy to get out jogging.
So far, this spring has been really cold and wet...
I'm eager to get out and stretch my legs.

I'm trying to have a good sense of humor about things -
Like looking at months with joy instead of worrying
that it's almost May and I have a bunch of new bills due...
It's easier for me to be optimistic in the spring
and summer when the promise of new life

makes you feel good.

So, kind of a boring post, but at least there

is the NINJA BEAVER to fall back on!!

Colored Eggs

We had a nice Easter Weekend.

The kids loved their new bunkbeds

that their dad built.

We rushed around painting them half of the night

on Wednesday in anticipation

of the kids arrival on Thursday.

They were so excited about their new room

that Kaya jumped under her new

Monkey quilt and said

"I'm going to bed with a smile on my face!"

And with a toothless grin

she pulled the covers up to her chin.

On Saturday we had a birthday party for Ian

He turned 3!

Wile took him out by himself and spent

some Dad/Ian time together.

In the meantime, Kaya and Caleb and I

went to the store and got cake stuff and ice cream.

I let the kids crack the eggs and stir the batter for the cake.

When Wile and Ian got back,

we had a cook out and cake and ice cream.

Wile colored eggs when the kids went to bed that night

and I assembled Easter Baskets.

In the morning, we had an egg hunt and breakfast.

Followed by too much candy and rushing around

to get to Amy's house for the Easter "Preston" Clan

Get together.

We had a really fun time

and

I sent all of the kids' candy home with them

so I wouldn't eat it! ;)

Back to a quiet house until next time.

Whatever shall I do?

Fred Meijer Gardens

Wile took the kids to Fred Meijer Gardens on

Good Friday.

It's their spring break tradition.

Of course I had to work...

Poop.
