A WINNER!

I know this post is way overdue. Life is busy right now, but Kenneth got 3rd place in our Pinewood Derby last week. I, of course, forgot my camera, but I'm trying to track down a picture. In this picture, Kenneth's car is on the far right. He designed it himself, and that night he came home and designed his next car. He gets to compete in district, and he's very excited about that.

Brrrrr

It is really cold today...and rainy. I don't mind the rain today, though, because it has been lovely this week, and I'm watching my dafodils come up and I can almost hear them guzzling down the rain. I'm sure it's making them very happy. I can't wait to see them bloom. I think I have some tulips trying to come up, too, but I can't remember exactly what I planted where. :) I made a pot with mini-irises and hyasinths (sp?) and the irises are blooming. When I get some more blossoms, I'll have Steve take a few photos. Last year my sister and I drew a diagram of my mom & dad's circle in front of their house and we helped them order a bunch of bulbs so they don't spend so much on annuals each year. I wish I could see their bulbs bloom - I'm so eager to see how it turns out. I love spring!

Daniel had his first indoor soccer game today - they won 12 - 0 and Daniel scored at least 5 of the goals. He loves soccer.

Feeling better

Well, I'm feeling better, but Steve, unfortunately, got my nasty cold. Caitlin did, too. Caitlin actually has 2 raging ear infections and pink eye as well. Poor little girl. She was SO miserable yesterday. It makes me feel bad. She is now on antibiotics and eye drops, so hopefully the worst is behind her. We have 4 extra boys hanging around this weekend, and my kids are LOVING it. Their parents are on a much-needed get away. They have been very helpful around the house (well, not the 1 year old) and they're fun to have around. (Even the 1 year old) :)

Sick and Busy

Well, those two words sum up my week. I feel crappy, and I'm wondering why I ever went to college.
