No Foolin'

I could sit here and pretend that, oh, I was pregnant, or that we were moving, or that I had gotten a job as a runway model, since today IS April Fool's Day......but let's face it......I'm not good at practical jokes, and I'm not sure I even have the requisite sense of humor. ;) So I'll just give it to ya straight today.

And with that, not much new to report around these parts. A birthday party here.....

A baseball game there......

A little bit of crashing afterwards......

And a whole lot of silliness.


That's a good summary of our life lately. Now that Brian is done with school, we have a lot more time during our weekends to do stuff, so we plan on taking advantage of the next 15 months that we are here, crossing all the things off our list that we've missed.

We DID just get hit with a nasty round of sickness, and unfortunately, nobody was spared. Charley had it the mildest, with a sore throat a couple weeks ago. Then it hit poor Zander, with a fever, sore throat, and mild cough. Brian was next, with body aches, fever, and sore throat. And last but not least, Mom's turn, and I had it all......fever, body aches, head ached, sore throat, and stomach issues.....and it knocked me on my bum for a good four days. So, now that we've gotten THAT out of the way, we are hoping that the germs stay away from our house for awhile.

Both kids just started swimming lessons again (Zander in Level 1, Charley in Level 2), and both are loving it. I also just signed both kiddos up for a mini-soccer league, which starts in just a few weeks....and once again, both are bursting at the seams with enthusiasm. As it looks, April will be a pretty normal month for us, with all the usual extra-curricular activities, school stuff, birthday parties, etc.

And we are totally cool with a mundane April, which will get us prepared for the craziness that is May. Brian will be gone almost the entire month, aside from one week, and during this one week we get to hang out with our awesome friends, the Smiths, from Oregon (woooo hoooo, can't wait guys!). So we will be busy, but what's new, right?

That's about it in this neck of the woods......what's going on in yours?
