It’s been a long two weeks, between Doug being in Hastings for sniper training and me being at home with the kids… but it went really well, I must say! I even got to go to the zoo with Val and his kindergarten class on Tuesday. It was one of those perfect spring days with sun, clouds, and a light breeze. I got to hold Val and Lucy’s hands as we walked from school to the park, to the zoo, and back to school. 84 kindergarteners and several parents… it was a hoot.
I brought the kids to the hardware store on Sunday morning and we picked out annuals together. Then Val and Connor helped me plant them while Ava napped. She was so excited to see flowers in the front of the house when we got her up. My tulips didn’t bloom at all this spring, so I won’t be able to get the annual tulip-with-each-child picture. Argh. Maybe my annuals will look pretty in June… or maybe my peonies. We’ll see!
It’s Memorial weekend, but we are just hanging around here. I think I will sort toys for Finn and for the garage sale. The kids do have way too much, but it’s funny how they go through stages with the toys… so you don’t always want to get rid of them too soon.
I’ll be taking my seniors to Gelato on Tuesday… my annual contribution to them sticking with French for 4 years! The gal at the coffee shop is nice and makes a bunch of flavors ahead of time.
I’ve been catching up with old friends on Facebook lately. It’s been fun to see what everyone’s been up to for 20 years! Yes, 20!!!
More later if I have time.
Facebook. I just don’t get it. I realize that this makes me old, but I already knew that as I bought a new furnace this morning, called to get an estimate on a new garage door, and read my letter from the city concerning the assessment for a new sidewalk. I want to be cool enough for Facebook, but I think it’s too late. I do have a blog, which I last updated 6 months ago… does that make me cool?
