happy spring!

things here have been busy. we've had birthdays, garden planting, business auctions, visits from papa bruce, trips to DE. and more!

end of march J turned 3 :) such a big girl! we spent the weekend in DE and went to 2 birthday parties. we visited with old college friends and had a really nice time. it made me want to move back. :)

easter weekend we were at home. it was very low key. church and that was about it.

this past weekend my dad has been here. we went to the air and space museum, and then spent saturday shopping. we need a new fridge and we needed a new mailbox. so, we bought a new mailbox at lowes and a new fridge/ freezer at best buy. a scratch and dent for 500.00 off the reg price. it has a scratch, but EH, we have kids it's going to get scratches i'm sure LOL.

my dad leaves tomorrow. B turns 5 tomorrow :) i can't believe she will be 5. time sure does fly. we have friends coming over in the morning and then again in the afternoon. there is a dragon cake in our fridge, but i am not sure if it's any good. i bought it a couple of days ago, thinking we'd eat it with my dad this weekend. that never ended up happening though.

my biz, The Cushie Tushie, participated in the Fluff Factory Auctions again this year. www.flufffactory.com we raised money for St. Jude's Research Hospital. the totals are not in yet, but we raised a great deal of money i'm sure. i won some really cool stuff for the kids. i can't wait to get it to them. the baby got some cool diapering/ clothing items also.

B got an ant farm and bug book for her birthday, from daddy! and harold and the purple crayon movie and book from gma and gpa. the movie mariposa from mom mom, and a scooter and ball from papa. we got her a scooter, cause the other one is cheap and J can take it apart all on her own. and i'll take the girls to target so they can shop for her on tuesday, while she is in school.

the cherry blossoms are in bloom, and we are trying to get the house ready to sell. would you expect anything less :) we don't need to move, but we're going to see if we can. we are painting, and having the front yard fixed up. today we bought a pallet of flagstone to place around the trees in our front yard. we are having a guy come pour stained concrete and having it stamped for the front walk, and stair. we're getting stuff ready to go into the garden. so, if we do sell this summer someone will get an entire veggies garden for free basically.

we have to clean up our two store rooms in the basement too. one has food storage and goodwill donations. the other is more of an office, but still is full of boxes that have been opened but never unpacked. all of my TCT biz is in there and i really do need to organize it. ALL of steve's stuff is in there and it's mostly all in boxes still. we have to organize our garage work area too. i really would love to get the house on the market by june, we want to do a beach visit and i'd love to have the house for sale by then. so, lots going on.

we're keeping busy! wishing for constant warm weather. trying to decide where we would go IF we did sell LOL.

till later!
