Thank you God!
We finally got some sunshine!! The ENTIRE weekend was warm and sunny! It's supposed to cool off a little now, but with April coming to a close I know it's just a matter of time before it's warm and sunny every single day.
I almost can't believe that the school year is wrapping up already. I have finals next week and the girls only have 5 weeks left to go before summer break. I'm beyond excited.
I want to plan a Memorial Weekend trip - probably to Brainerd.
I want to meet my Mom in Tampa in June.
I want to take the family to Lake Ida once or twice this summer.
I want to have a Valleyfair weekend vacation.
I want to camp a few times on our own, with friends, and with family.
I am really looking forward to biking with the family more this summer and, of course, lots and lots and lots of swimming.
The Spring cleaning has begun and I look forward to a nice, clean, organized, fresh start to summer.
Feel free to stop by to BBQ any time :)

For Those of Us With Picky Eaters
I found this interesting and helpful.
I also felt supported in how I feed my picky eater - multiple exposures and the 'no thank you bite' as we call it in our house is a good way to get her to try (and maybe even LIKE) new foods!

Let's just complain about the weather, shall we?
(On an unrelated note, both my brothers are on a Disney Cruise right now. Guess I screwed the pooch on that one.)
Okay, so anyway.
It's April and we have snow. The temps aren't too bad, which is the thing I despise the most about winter, so that's good. My seasonal affective disorder is at it's worst when you go outside and literally can't breath because it's so cold.
For me, I hate this year's Spring weather because I can't start my heavy-duty Spring cleaning. I want to clean out my garage, and my shed, and my entire house. I plan on having a garage sale (donation only...just get the stuff out of here!). But, when it's dark and rainy and snowy for days and days on end it makes it hard to do anything.
I want to start getting the pool ready and the yard ready. I want the kids to be able to go in and out of the house to play without having to still put their boots and jackets on every time.
I know that April showers bring May flowers so I'm trying to be patient. The fact that we're getting more snow isn't really depressing, just crappy.
As Minnesotans some people say we're stupid for complaining because we know where we live. I agree with that, but I never wanted to be a permanent Minnesotan so I get a pass.
