Yikes! The end of April? Already?
Had another good week at school. This one actually flew by, (which is great) considering how crazy and mixed up it was. My class celebrated Earth Day lots of simple ways- they loved it... making posters, recycling, cleaning garbage, making a model of Earth, only natural light all day, planting new plants-- small things that really get ME thinking about the little changes I could/should/will be making. I showed them my reusable grocery bag that is so tiny, and clipped onto my car keys, and they thought it was the coolest thing ever! We also had our annual tornado drill this week- something else they (oddly) look forward to. Of course we ended our week with a dance party-- another fave of the kids (and mine too!).
My goal for this weekend is to go and see both of my grandpas. I did make it to see grandpa A. on Saturday, but haven't seen gramps P. in a couple of weeks. I am just so lucky to have had such close relationships with my grandparents... and now I think of how lucky Sawyer and Kate are that they are able to grow up with their grandparents so close to home. I think of how much they are going to learn and grow-- and how much fun they are going to have! They are already getting polka lessons from their grandma, and have been on several outdoor adventures with their grandpa. And someday, they'll be able to say "my other grandma lets me stand and dance on her table!"... I also look forward to watching the babies swing on the swing with their grandpa~ one of my favorite memories of growing up at the lake. We would sit between gram and gramps when we were younger (and older) and my gram would ALWAYS start monkeying with my hair.
Auntie "Trixie" watched Sawyer today. They spent the day with grandma Katie and went to visit grandpa Earl. Sawyer is lucky to have such wonderful people taking care of him! Then we grilled with the Brysons, Trish, Lo and Miss Kate-- who, btw, celebrated her 11 month birthday this week!! She's walking all over the place (and trying to avoid allergic reactions!). She has also learned to scream~ lots of fun! :)
Oh- we are in the middle of planning a quick trip to MPLS in May. We'll go and see Jesse's family, and then spend the weekend with the Iowans-- as it's been wayyy too long since we've seen them!
Anyways- I am tired- and could ramble on for hours. Instead, Jesse and I are going to watch Sherlock Holmes. OK- Jesse is going to watch Sherlock, and I will fall asleep on the couch until he wakes me up...
