April - Trips, New Jobs, and Coffee

Ok, holy crap. April was a MONTH. I started a new job, went on two weekends away, and felt quite productive and happy (as well as sad and nervous and excited...)

What We Did - 

The girls and I met up with my mom in Ogden to go to the Treehouse Museum followed by ice-cream. We had a lot of outside playtime. I had my last day at SLCC. I went to Park City for the weekend with Hailey and Elise where we ate and shopped and sat in the hot tub nightly. I started my new job. We dyed easter eggs, and had an egg hunt with friends. Then we had our postponed weekend in Eden with friends where we snacked and cooked and relaxed and did NOT get cursed by the haunted neighbor cabin. Everything was great and fun and felt like normal life again.

Watching -

Finished Minx. Love Life (S1), Starstruck (S1) MY NEW FAVORITE SHOW OF ALL TIME??, The Ultimatum, finished Abbot Elementary

Reading - 

In a New York Minute, God Spare the Girls, Fiona and Jane

Thinking about - 

Just new work things. Too much new information!

Listening to - 

The Newcomers podcast. At least one of my kids yelling at all times. The landscape people on Mondays. Oskar meowing to go outside.

Researching - 

New work bags. A laptop sleeve (to fit in the new work bag). Art for my office. Black shoes. Something to contain my kid's stuffed animal collection.

Organizing - 

I had three days of alone time between jobs and used it to firstly, nap and watch tv, and secondly wrap up some organizing projects. This included the kids hand me down bins which now live in my bedroom, my dresser, the linen closet, and dropping off the donation bags.

Cooking + Eating + Drinking - 

Eating out so much! Partly because of trips, but partly also because I'm just too lazy lately? Or, maybe not lazy. But exhausted? Yeah, that seems like the right word choice.

Grateful for - 

New opportunities. Time with friends. Getting some rain. My cordless vacuum. 

What the girls are into - 

Norah - reading, always. Wearing shorts again. All the Easter activities. All the Easter candy.

June - playing preschool, and being the teacher. Drawing. Playing with the LOL dolls. 

They are both recently into The Fairly Oddparents and Calvin & Hobbes comics.

What Everett is doing - 

Wearing sunglasses. Practicing the steps and hills outside. Saying TWO new words. (Uh-Oh and Hiiii). Being cheerful always.

Magic - 

Laughing till I cried with friends I've had since 1st grade. Finding ONE unlocked door at the cabin in Eden so we weren't all trapped in the hot tub for the night. 

Looking forward to - 

NOTHING now that all my trips are done. Juuuust kidding. Now it's time to start planning a 10-year anniversary trip for September and hopefully a small family weekend getaway for the summer.
