Sidewalk Chalk

Matthew loves to write & draw with sidewalk chalk. Our backyard patio is his canvas. He enjoys writing words, especially his name, and drawing handicapped parking spots, or "owie spots" as he calls them.

Signs of Spring

I have daffodils & tulips coming up in the flower bed in my backyard! These pictures were taken on Saturday, so they are even bigger now. This flower bed gets the most sun, so plants generally start coming up there first. I am SO ready for spring!

Restless in Red Wing

I've managed to catch a doozy of a cold. I slept well for a few hours, but now I just can't get back to sleep. I didn't want to disturb Dave, so I decided to "play" on my computer for a bit, and then I will go downstairs & try to get some rest down there. Connor has the same crud, so he's been cranky, but thankfully he is sleeping. I hope we're feeling better soon - spring colds are NO fun!

Spring Fever!

We have spent a lot of time outside over the past few days. Here are a couple of pictures of Connor from Saturday.

My temp job ended on Friday. I had an interview for a permanent, part-time position yesterday, and I should hear by the end of the week if I got the job or not. I'll keep you posted! At least the weather has been gorgeous while I've been off so far!

No More Speech Therapy!

Today was Matthew's last day at one of his two preschools. It was determined last week that he no longer qualifies for help with his speech, so today was his chance to say goodbye to his classmates there. We are so proud of how far he has come! He will still go to his other preschool three days a week for the rest of the school year. And we will be registering him for kindergarten this week. Matthew is growing up way too fast! I will soon be the mother of a normal kindergartner!

Cars!!!

Connor LOVES to play with Matthew's cars! Matthew was very protective of his cars at first, but he is letting Connor play with them more and more. Connor really looks up to his big brother, and I can tell he gets frustrated when Matthew won't let him play. Matthew is slowly coming around and playing with Connor more. Their favorite thing to do together is to chase each other around on all fours. Goofy boys!

Interview Tomorrow!

I have an interview tomorrow for an HR Assistant position in Red Wing. I'm so excited, yet I'm getting more and more nervous as the day wears on. HR is the field I studied in college, and this job would also be really close to home. Wish me luck, and keep your fingers crossed!
