Busy!

Well, I have to say...I must be completely back in the swing of things since my return from the US. Because...I'm busy! Why? I don't know exactly! But, I suspect that with the blossom of spring, everyone's days seem to be getting busier.

We have had several birthdays to attend, spring semester classes to start, ongoing school commitments and with the nicer weather...lunch with friends - definitely. However, also with the temperature fluctuations, MANY people around town are getting sick. Both of the boys have been sick almost all week long! Ryan started "his" wheeze again directly following a small head cold and Brandon got pink eye - again. So, unfortunately, they have missed some neat activities at school this week. That is never fun. :(

Being active on the parent association board at the boys' school is keeping me pretty busy these days. Since warmer days are on the horizon, there are many activities being planned before school ends in June.

It seems like ALL of Brandon's friends have birthdays in March! He has been happily entertained at the homes of many of his friends, eating cake, getting goodie bags and playing games with his friends!

Brandon has a couple of extra-curricular activities this spring. He has a Reading for Meaning class on Sundays and T-Ball on Saturdays. So, he will be plenty active throughout the spring semester. Ryan is just happy to tag along. :-) There aren't too many activities for his current age group, unfortunately.

The weather! It can be bitter bold for a few days and then warm up to shorts weather for a few days and then rain for several days and then warm up again...and so on and so on. The fluctuation seems to have a devastating effect on the kiddos...and then, of course, the parents get what their kids have. Ugh...it's annoying. And since the air pollution is so bad, the days that we get cold, overcast or rainy days, it just seems to "cap" the pollution closer to the ground...and, of course, Ryan gets sick. Poor little guy. :-(

Today, however, was one of those warmer days. So much so, that I actually put on shorts and a tank top and got some rays in the backyard...and started to sweat! It's supposed to start raining again on Sunday. Ugh.

We have a busy weekend, so I hope the weather can hold! Brandon has T-Ball, a playdate, his reading class AND another birthday party to attend! Whew! The rest of us can just hope to keep up! haha

In addition to all these spring activities, I'm still trying to get some projects done both for myself and around the house. I think a big spring cleaning is in our future as well. Oh joy.

HAPPY SPRING!!!
