And so it's here....

Well the pool owners in the Tri-Cities have decided it is time to open their pools. Sunday was nice, mid 70's slight breeze but today was gorgeous!! The store has been busy since Friday. A fabulous kick-off weekend.

Yesterday Rick woke up early and we started on house projects. The back deck is all repaired with new posts and is ready for paint. The kitchen got the spring cleaning it was BEGGING for. I was able to get all of our gravel out back and the alley all sprayed for weeds. It doesn't sound too exciting but it was actually a very nice relaxing day. If the weather holds all week Rick is planning on taking Thursday off to get a jump on painting because the goal is to have painting done by the end of the weekend. Oh Happy Mother's Day to me :-)

Don't forget it is Teacher Appreciation Week. The other room mom and myself sent flowers this morning to Kaitlyn's class. The way her school works is when the whistle blows the quietest class gets to go in... well we were a little late this morning so I was passing out a carnation for each child to take in to Mrs. Peterson so Kaity's class was the last one in. Kaitlyn said Mrs. Peterson started to ask, "just how loud were you guys this morning...." when she noticed all the flowers coming in for her. What a happy start to the day!

Here's to a sunny Tuesday...and Wednesday and Thursday.... :-)

Thanks for the teacher shout-out - we always appreciate the support :). Have fun with all the home improvement projects - it always feels so good to check a few more off the list. Have a great, productive week at work too!

I almost forgot about Teacher Appreciation week. When you stay home you fall out of the loop of things. Trenton's school is out in 2 weeks so we are working on an end of the year gift. Hopefully all the parents pull through. Good luck this week and weekend on getting things done. Remember to post pics so we can see the pretty paint job.
