It’s a good thing Jarrod and I had a chance to get-away for a couple of days this past weekend! We needed it! We just went to Memphis Friday night and stayed a couple of nights, did a little shopping, a lot of eating and I got to rest! I slept till 11am on Saturday!
The kids have been swapped around this week! Friday Arden stayed with my grandma in Hickory Ridge till my mom got home from work then she stayed with my mom and dad the rest of the weekend. Stratton went to school Friday and stayed with Dillon and Brandye Friday night so he could go to his swim lessons. Dillon was of course working Saturday, so Brandye took Stratton to Hickory Ridge Saturday afternoon. It was really nice on Saturday so he got to play outside and had a big time climbing trees.
Sunday we stopped in HR on our way home from Memphis and had lunch at grandma and grandpas. I was so ready to see my babies!! It’s funny how they can drive me absolutely nuts but being away from them for more than 24 hours is almost unbearable!
Sunday afternoon, Jarrod’s parents came to HR and picked the kids up to take them to Searcy for a few days since Jarrod’s mom is off work for spring break!
Monday was SO busy at work! Trying to get everything ready for Tuesday night!! It always is crazy before any meeting or event and Tuesday was our annual Ag For Autism, Bracket Bonanza event, so I was overwhelmed with trying to get all the things done by the deadlines! Tuesday we spent the day loading up stuff, taking stuff to the Convocation center and setting it all up. There are always issues that arise, but it all turned out ok. We raised over $30,000.00! And there were about 250 people at the event! But I’m glad it’s over. . . till next year!
Wednesday I spent the day getting organized after the event. It’s like a vacation, when you have to come home and unpack everything. I hate that part! Jarrod’s parents brought the kids back Wednesday evening. I think they were ready to come home! Especially Stratton! He was so clingy that night! Turns out Jarrod had to work late, so we met him at Fat City and had a late supper before his parents went home.
I didn’t go to work on Thursday, which was good because both of the kids slept in! I took them to school and then I met my friend Amy and we got mani-pedis and had lunch and did some shopping (well, she shopped I browsed). It was so nice to have a “Me” day. Even though it was freezing! Nothing like shopping for spring and easter clothes on such a dreary cold day when there’s a chance of snow. We also went to Andy’s – shhhh! I picked the kids up at 5pm and we headed home cooked supper and got ready for bed. . . .then it started to SNOW!! Here’s what our backyard looked like this morning, as you can see it had already started to melt.
Craziness!! Snow on Spring break and a week away from Easter. . .
We don’t have anything major planned for the weekend! WooHoo! But don’t worry about me getting bored. The Easter Egg hunt at church is Saturday and I have plenty to do around the house.
In other news Arden is back waking up every 4 hours at night. Ugh! But she has mastered sitting up over the last week! And I know I’ve said this like three times before, but I am certain she is getting a front tooth! Stratton is excited about the Easter Bunny and hiding eggs. He is also getting very detailed in telling us all about his day- EXACTLY what they talked about, what the letter, number and color of the day was and who got in trouble (which is rarely himself) I love hearing him talk about his teachers and friends.
