Happy Spring?!??!??

....or is it Merry Christmas? 2 days ago it officially became spring. This was the view of our backyard this morning. We had some lovely pre-spring days last week- beautiful sunshine, birds chirping, grass greening, virtually no snow left on the ground. This week it's snowed 4 times-today being the worst. The other 3 times the snow was gone by mid-morning. It's 1:15 PM, and there is about 4 inches of snow on the ground here. And it's still coming down..... Seriously, it's a little much. I'm not complaining, I'm just.... disappointed. It's supposed to be spring, after all.
There is an Easter Egg hunt at the RLM tomorrow that we were going to take the kids to-I'm assuming that if the snow isn't gone by then, they will be canceling it.
Oh well...

A few nights ago we went to Anne and Carl's for a Happy Spring Dinner. It was a fun night, and... drum roll please.... I actually WON a game. I NEVER win at games. Especially when there is money at stake- I won $20 bucks! The Couser's play this game called Squiggle- you basically have to predict how many tricks you're going to take based upon the cards in your hand and the trump card on the table. I've played it before but we called it something else- I can't remember what- if anyone knows, let me know 'cause it's driving me crazy. Anyone, the point is that I won, to my great surprise, as I have already pointed out that I never win games. So woo-hoo for me!

This week, I actually met with another success. I managed to get up on time, do school Tuesday through Thursday-completing 2 lessons per day, keep the house clean and catch up on laundry. I feel so accomplished! It helps to fit more into three days, and give myself a little leeway the rest of the week.
Next week is an exciting week for me. Janelle has offered to have the kids over for 2 overnighters and a Kid's Spring Camp next week! They are so looking forward to all the fun- and getting to spend time at Grandma's house and I have a huge list of things that are much more easily accomplished with only a baby in tow, Including getting a library card and going to the DMV to take the written test so I can finally change my driver's license. (Yes, I know that you are supposed to do so within 90 days, but come on people, I'm a busy women!)

Lilah is officially 1 month old today! She's so very sweet, and a really good baby. She's finally started to get herself on a bit of a schedule this past week- waking around the same time in the mornings and eating on more of a schedule. She's been doing really well sleeping at night too. She's on about a 4 hour schedule at night, so I really can't complain too much. I'm still exhausted though, and can't wait to get more than 3 hours of sleep at a time.

Okay, well I'm off to feed the baby and start some laundry. Cheers!
