May!

May already? Seriously?

We have been blessed with a cold front here in the valley :) We were in the mid to upper 90's and boom, a little cold front moves through and we're down to the upper 60's for a day, 75 yesterday, 80 today. Those pesky 90's will be back next week but for now, we're enjoying what we've got!

The kids are doing well. School gets out May 27th and I CAN'T WAIT! This coming week is very busy with teacher appreciation week.  PTO is doing a lot for our teachers every day so I'll be busy with that. I also have 2 doctor appts and it's "family movie night" on Friday night. Those are so fun!

Everyone is doing great in school, all A's for all 3 kiddos. Cassandra met her 4th quarter AR goal in the first week of the quarter so her teacher doubled her goal and she's been a reading fool ever since.

Alyssa is good, she is still our PTO mascot of sorts. She is having fun doing big girl stuff :) She loves riding her trike outside. When it's too hot I bring it inside for her to ride too. She has a birthday coming up in June. She wants to do a Toy Story theme. She loves the 2 Toy Story movies and Bolt. We watch those...A LOT! She is also very into reading and being read to right now. THat has been fun! Cassandra grabs a big pile of books and reads to her. Savannah plays school with her. It's  nice to see them doing stuff together despite the age differences.

Allergies have been bad here this spring. I guess that's the price you pay for all the rain we got in February and parts of March. Savannah has had 2 sinus infections in the past 2 months. Griffin has had one. Savannah actually has a ruptured ear drum right now. She's been out of school for a week and 3 days. We have a follow up appt with the ENT on Friday. I hope all is clear. She was an absolute mess. Her allergies were so bad that her eyelids swelled almost shut. Pitiful!

Shane is good, he is has been doing a lot of yard work. We had more rock delivered and spruced up the front yard. Now he's onto the backyard. I am so hoping we end up with some grass planted this summer. It's been 4.5 years in this house. I'm ready to have a completed backyard. We've tried grass seed 3 times and it is just so sparse. One half of the yard seems to be cursed. Grass won't grow, the trees won't grow. Maybe I need to have Father John come out and do an exorcism? We'll see.

So that's it for now, I'll try to do better on updates! Good grief, time sure does slip by me fast!
