Easter Monday

It was a normal work day for me and Gary went back to school (he was out sick on Thursday and Friday).

We didn't do much today, egg salad sandwiches for dinner and then we got donuts (at King Soopers) as Gary did all of his homework (with help as he was not concentrating very well.

Jennifer's voice is coming and going.  She rested most of the day and will hopefully be felling better tomorrow.

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everybody.  I hope you all had a great day.


Saturday was a busy day for all of us.  We went to a "Lunch Bunch" Easter Egg hunt at the rec center.  Gary played with his friends, colored eggs, hunted for eggs, and ate lunch.  Gary had a blast.  Jennifer had to leave early to go volunteer at The Wildlife Experience.


After the party we went to see the Easter Bunny at US Toys.  The bunny was pretty lame and Gary did not want to stay and get his picture taken (or get a balloon animal).


Gary and I then just spent the rest of the day hanging out at home.


Sunday found Jennifer not feeling well, so she spent most of the day in bed.  Jennifer's brother Tom was supposed to come over for lunch but he also was not felling well.  That left Gary and I to eat a spaghetti lunch, play with his Legos, eat his Easter candy, and just hanging out.  We also went to Walmart where he used some of his birthday money to buy a Lego base plate and container to hold some of his Legos.


Hopefully will find everyone well again.  And Gary back in school.

Gary is seven in six days

It's the end of another week here and this time next week Gary will have had birthday number 8.  The time seems to have flown so fast.  He is growing and doing well.  he is also developing an independent streak where he likes to make his own sandwiches (when he is not taking the sandwich I made myself for lunch).  He is getting pretty good getting around on the computer and made a Lego house on it Wednesday night.

We do not have anything planned yet for the weekend.  Tom may come over for a bit this weekend and we will start wrapping birthday presents for Thursday.  We also have to get ready for a visit from the Easter bunny.

Sunday in April

Gary and I are hanging out together while Jennifer plays tour guide with some of her new friends.

Yesterday Gary and I went to see Hop.  Gary really liked and and got up and danced to the music in the show.  Luckily we sat were we had room and in a place where he would not bother anybody.  I also liked the movie and we stayed through all the closing credits which was good as they had one last scene which was pretty funny.

After the move we went to Pasquini's for lunch.  They have a great lunchtime pizza buffet making this one of our favorite places to eat Saturday lunch.

Saturday night all three of us went down the street to eat dinner at a neighbor's house with Jennifer's friends.

Sunday has been quiet.  The tree of us went to Cici's pizza for lunch and Jennifer is out again with her friends while I am home with Gary.  Marko from down the street is over to play with Gary so he is having a good time.

Tomorrow is Monday and I am pack to work and Gary is back to school.  Only 11 days until Gary's 8th birthday.

Wednesday

It is hump day and so far this week has had temperatures in the 70s, snow, wind, rain, and freezing temperatures.  I wonder what weather we will get next week.

We are all doing fine here.  Gary's first three days back to school have gone pretty well.  He misbehaved a little at lunch but apologized.

Jennifer went to her first school board committee meeting today.  She is on the committee that will help create the school schedule for thing like teacher work days, fall break, and spring break.  She enjoyed the meeting.

Gary and I ate lunch at Chik Fil-A.

Tonight we put out for charity pickup a bunch of VHS tapes that we have not watched in ten or more years.  I am slowly getting the basement organized so that I can then move stuff from Jennifer's office downstairs so she will have room to paint.

Snow in April

Well the weather in Colorado is definitely not like other parts of the country.  Yesterday at this time it was close to 80 and sunny (with a lot of wind).  Today it is 30 and snowing (with a lot of wind).  SO at least the breeze is consistent.

It is a sleepy Sunday afternoon as we are all digesting a big spaghetti lunch.  Gary's Grandpa Rhino and Grandma came over for lunch along with Uncle Tom.  We had spaghetti, salad, sausage, and garlic bread.  We didn't get a chance to eat dessert yet (cheese cake).

Gary goes back to school tomorrow.  He has been on Spring Break for the last two weeks.  It's hard to believe that my little boy will be 8 this month.

Friday Night

It's Friday night here and we are just winding down with a little TV.  I decided to take the day off since it is the last day of Gary's Spring break.  Gary and I went to lunch at Chik Fil-A while Jennifer went to Dance.  Gary and then went to Target to get some bread and cheese to go with my onion soup.

After playing at home for a while and some dinner we went to Falcon Park and then Park Meadows (to get Gary some ice cream and look at the place where the Logo's store is going.

We then watch the new Phineas and Ferb.  Now it is a Tom and Jerry DVD before bed.
