Come on Spring....

Come on Spring...You can do it!!! Let's put all of those harsh winter temperatures into storage for another year and bring on the 50's and 60's and a lot more sun!! The last few days have been absolutely beautiful and even though it's raining today...it's melting all the snow in our yard which is what I've been waiting for....am I naive in thinking that we won't get any more...probably...but even if we do it won't stick around too long...I'm hoping that we don't dip below 30 degrees again this year....I'm ready for spring planting and opening windows and going to the park and going on bike rides and well....just about anything springy.
This last week was fairly uneventful seeing as though the family was sick. Lucy and I scraped out alive and are knocking on wood that since it's been 8 days since someone got sick that we are in the clear especially since Keith leaves for China for 6 days and I want to stay active and try and have fun while he's gone. That shouldn't be too hard this time. Thursday we have PT in the morning and then I work the auction in the evening. On Friday it's clean up the house and get ready for the Dykstra family to spend the weekend with us!....well they really arn't coming up just for us....but it will be awesome to see them while they are here!! Sat. is moving day for Jean and Doug and maybe for us too :) We get to "donate" some stuff to their new humble abode and I must say, in this little house, it feels really good to get rid of clutterage. We also have Andrews 6th b-day party on Sat which should be a lot of fun. Sunday and Monday I'm hoping to have my wonderful mother-in-love as a house guest to help with the survival without another adult.
I am hoping sometime while Keith's gone....maybe even Sat morning...the furniture people will deliver and put in place our new mattress and the girls new mattress sets.....then we are just one more step toward getting their rooms done!! WOOHOO!! We got the paint last weekend..."satin doll" is what it's called...really it's just pink but I have to do some major prep work before we can paint the walls...seeing as though there is a dark red stripe that runs the entire room....
Anyway so that's the scoop on our lives. We would appreciate anyone's prayers as we enter into this week without daddy...it's always really hard ....mostly on mommy!
