Five Things Friday | March 2024

1. We got a ton of snow this week. Maybe not as much as previous years, but enough to be disruptive. It was heavy, wet snow too. It almost feels silly to snow blow it since it is going to melt so quickly, but it was tough to get up the driveway. Our snow blower was definitely chugging. The news says we got about 12 inches of snow between Sunday evening and Wednesday.

2. We are moving Hailey up to the Ripple 201 class for swimming lessons so that she can go at the same time as Miles. It will be challenging for her. The class she is joining is on the brink of moving on to their next class. It will be nice to have them both done swimming at the same time though.

3. It’s a busy weekend for us, Easter weekend! Joel has pickleball scheduled, I am planning to run both days. We are going to have a date night tomorrow night while the kids color eggs with Joel’s parents. We are having Easter brunch over there on Sunday and my sister in law is able to come up too! It should be busy, and fun!

4. April is busy! I leave for Berlin next week and then we are off to Florida. I am trying to plan out more meals for the month of April because we went out to eat quite a bit this month, especially with family being in town.

5. Mile has pink eye (or as he has been calling it, “purple eye”). He had to stay home from school today, so I am basically taking the day off with some email checking here and there. I was still able to get a run in with him yesterday and today, pushing in the stroller. The sidewalks are pretty clear, for the most part.

Side note: right outside of our daycare, close by the police department across the street, there were two people found shot to death in a car on Wednesday! Sounds like a murder/suicide.. but yikes, so sad.
