No really?

Wouldn't you know it, I fought with a queen size mattress and box spring while trying to clean out the play room and it turns out they won.  A visit to my favorite chiropractor (hi Dr. Darrin) and some painful pressure therapy later I am now feeling great.  Ben get the task of removing them for a second time.  On a lighter note, I had the most fabulous 2 hour nap after my adjustment today.  

Happy spring, oh wait, that's right the forecast calls for frost tonight!!!  What the heck?  And some say we are in global warming.  Maybe they should come to North Dakota. 

Birthdays

Who says you are supposed to relax on your birthday?  Yesterday morning we woke up and Ben cooked some bacon and eggs.  My day consisted of cleaning out both our coat closets, finishing the laundry, washing the floor and vacuuming both floors of our house.  We made it to dinner at Mexican Village and caught the movie "What Happens In Vegas" before ending the day.

This morning when a normal person would relax after a crazy day of cleaning, the kids and I decided to convert our guest/toy/storage room into a toy room.  We cleaned out the entire room, vacuumed and dusted and then one by one, box by box put the toys away.  Our guest bed is now in an empty room and the closet is full of bedding.  The rest of the room is toys, toys, toys.  I am just happy we got it done and Madison and Reagan have somewhere to play in the basement.  After we head to a housewarming party, we will go through their rooms and move some more toys to the toy room.  

And Grandma Karen, I have called every auction within an hour's radius of your house and told them they are not to sell you any more toys!!!!  

Sunshine!

What a fabulous day!  Madison, Reagan and I took a little road trip to North Fargo to our friend Darrin's house for some great food and some fun checking out the koi pond.  Reagan actually preferred tormenting the poor fish and causing a typhoon or whatever you would call an earthquake and tornado in the water!  Fortunately all of the fish survived his torment.  Madison had a great time playing in the dirt and planing flowers.  I have definitely become less stressed when my kids get dirty.  I realize that is when they have the most fun.  

Anyway, it was a lot of fun visiting and eating and needless to say I didn't need to eat supper!  Ben had surprised me at work with Taco Johns and didn't realize I had lunch plans.  Of course I can't pass up food so I had to eat two lunches, darn.  I must say that the second was much better than Taco Johns!  

Looking forward to what is looking to be a nice weekend.  I am hoping to catch some sun and maybe get our patio furniture set up.  Oh yeah, and it's the big 28 on Saturday, officially in my upper 20s I guess.  Hoping to catch a good meal at Mexican Village and maybe a nap or two.  Then it's on to planning for a June birthday for Madison (6) and an August birthday for Reagan (2) - they are getting so big so fast.  I love watching them play together.

And in the middle of all that I am helping plan our 10 year high school reunion.  It is all taking shape and we are hoping for a good turnout  There is also a July 4 bbq in Wisconsin and a week at the lakes with Ben's family in August.  January promises a trip to Las Vegas for the International Builders show - I LOVE LAS VEGAS!  And speaking of Vegas, the movie Mama Mia premiers in mid-July.  Can't wait.
