Late last week and over the weekend we had some snow come in. Today the temps went into the 60’s and all the snow melted and the ground was nice and soft. The older boys went outside to play after 8yo got his homework done. The dogs went out as well and made a major mess of themselves. I had to give both baths and the Puppy was by far the worst. The older guy Frodo a whopping 16 pounds was easy enough to tend to in the was tub, but the “Puppy” (Read Full Grow Body, Puppy Mind) Gandalf the Border Collie was tough in the tub. He behavied really well, but had so much dirt and sand I had to rise and drain 3 times just to get the sand off. Now we have to very clean dogs and a very worn out me. I can’t wait until summer when I can use the hose on them.
The Baby
The baby is still suffering from a cold/teething and had a miserable day. He had some good times, but his afternoon nap was a struggle. He was overtired and did not want to settle. Hopefully he will feel better soon.
The Bike
Rode the bike again today. I was able to make it to 20 minutes again, but at 16 minutes I was a little uncomfortable. It will take some time to get used to being on the saddle again. A little at a time.
Channeling Laurie Berkner
The baby really likes her songs and after borrowing a couple CD’s form the library I have been singing even more songs to him. “Under the Shady Tree You and Me” I have to say I like he so much better then the Wiggles and Barney.
Ready To Paint
I have been getting things ready so I can paint my office this weekend. I really like the end results, but painting walls is just such a blah chore. I plan to take some before and after pictures. Hopefully the new colors will look nice.
The 5
- Spring is Almost Here – With another warm day melting all the snow again we are one step closer to spring. Oh the joys of Mud!
- Job Help – The wife helped her younger brother tonight apply for jobs online. He has a colorful history and tends to not focus when applying. She kept him in line.
- Madagascar 2 - Arrived at the Library today while I was there. So the boys will be watching that tomorrow I suspect. I will have to make sure I watch as well.
- Daily Show – Makes me Laugh!
- TV in General – Rather boring lately.
