April 8, Week in Review

Buz was off on spring break this week and we had plans to get a lot done in the week to prepare for Maddie coming.  We cleaned out the toy room once again, we had cleaned it out this past summer but toys seem to multiply over Christmas and birthday's so it was on the priority list.  I started to clean our laundry room/back enclosed patio area, this is where everything that doesn't have a home goes (goodwill items, broken toys that need to be thrown out but there isn't enough room in the garbage can, anything that needs to go to the un-organized basement, etc. I am sure you get the picture).  I was able to clean the laundry half and wash the windows but I am still working on the other half.  Buz and our friend Chad thatched and aerated our lawn.  Buz replaced the door to our girl's room and we made Josie's crib into a daybed.  Buz and the girls planted seedlings.  I was able to complete the top of a t-shirt quilt and make a car seat cover.  As a family we were able to go to Riverfront Park with the cousins and have a ton of fun.  Ellie also took a week of swim lessons.  We enjoyed Easter with the cousins and Nana Kook celebrating that Jesus had risen!

I hope you all enjoyed a great Easter weekend also!
