Break for Spring

This past week has been out spring break and the kids and I were able to get out and enjoy some beautiful days outside. I have started an exercise regime of walking at least a mile a day and didn't break the stride this week. Helpful to know we can walk to the library and back and that is exactly a mile. That is a healthy walk. The one that isn't so helpful to know is the bakery is 1.15 miles one way, and Dairy Queen is 1.25 miles one way. The girls rode in the wagon and Payton rode his bike.

You look like a monkey

Happy 5th birthday Ashleigh!

I want to buy the world a Coke

Best laid plans... My weekend was supposed to be a trip out to the Rockford area to meet friends for lunch and then get two kids haircuts by another friend. Ashleigh had cut a chunk out of Adi's hair that others would tell me was not noticeable but as mommy it bothered me. The day started out well enough. I went with a teacher friend for coffee in the morning and then planned to head out. Well, as it turns out, that coffee run told me I wasn't going to go anywhere. Including all the way back home. On my way to Starbucks the radio turned off. I knew I wasn't going anywhere else. I headed back toward home and about a mile away from home my gauges flat lined and I pulled into the nearest parking lot and called the hubby for a rescue hr came and got the kids and I and jumped the van to get it home. Long story short, after 5 hours of wrestling with Dodge engine small spaces, 2 trips to Auto Zone to test the alternator (fine) and then the battery (fine), turns out all the can needed was a drink of Coke and an old toothbrush to clean off the corrosion on the terminals. I love my husband and how handy (and patient!) he is!
