Even though I didn't have a spring break (o.k....I left work an hour early one day) I still hate to have it over. Back to busy mornings, checking on homework and nagging them to get to bed ontime. And having the weather suddenly change, from warm and sunny to cool and almost seasonal, just reinforces it the feeling of back to reality....
It was a pretty lazy weekend but I say that a lot, don't I? Yesterday I spend a chunk of the morning making lists, uploading pictures, updating software....little busy computery things that always make me feel good...and seem to be Sunday morning tasks for me. Then we did some measuring of the patio and figured out what we will need in terms of lumber for the raised beds. I made the boys clear off all the dead morning glory vines along our ramshackle fence. I didn't boss them around too much though as they kept keening about it being the last day of spring break. Ernie and Owen shot baskets for awhile and Owen obsessed over his loose tooth. According to him it's been loose almost an entire YEAR! He wouldn't let me just pull the damn thing....he tried eating an apple with it...didn't help....Ernie even took him to the store and let him buy some of his beloved Laffy Taffy...it got it a bit looser but still no go. In the afternoon Ernie and I sat in our yard and read and crossword puzzled respectively. Finally dragged ourselves inside and got dinner and boys into the shower, etc.
Oh, and you'll be happy to know that Toothwatch 2012 is now over. Last night in the middle of the night Owen showed up by our bed, proudly holding a tooth.
Busy week ahead....a work thing Wednesday evening and Justin Townes Earle at the Castle on Thursday....the next few weeks are going to be very busy. It's all good but I am a homebody at heart so I always have to steel myself for these periods of time. For now I'm off to see how few cherry blossoms are left at work....
O.k. Onward to the week.....
