Spring break is coming to an end and I have to say I'm pretty sad about it. I have loved having the kids home, doing things we don't always do and having no routines or schedules to follow. I really just don't want it to end. But I guess summer will be here in just 5 short weeks. The girls painted new birdhouses for the trees one morning. I love it because it is a project that lasts a full hour or more and everyone is happy and quiet just working on their own house. We found a bird nest in one of our light lanterns under the deck. Good thing I hadn't torn them down like I had planned. I also gave the girls a project to paint the little picnic table. Which also took a good portion of the day. They had been begging all week to go to the Rec Center and so finally when I thought Kasen and Lexi were in the clear we went on Friday. When Tj got home he took the kids to see Nut Job at Spanish 8 and I stayed home with Kasen and worked on primary stuff for the next 2 hours. And now I'm feeling good about being caught up. I ran 13 miles yesterday and it was rough towards the end and my knees are pretty achey but I'm not as sore as I thought I would be. Tessa ran her first 15 and said her knees swelled up so HUGE. But totally awesome she went that far. I am almost done staining the swing set. Worst project ever and the kids keep telling me it looks like crap because the stain is so dark. Plus I think I forgot to get waterproof stain. We would have finished grouting the backsplash last night had we not run out of grout at the very end. And this week I hope to get my island painted in my kitchen. Hopefully I don't make that look like crap.
