My kids are fish!!

I think I failed to mention that Myles was in Belgium for work for the second week of April. He had fun, but spent a lot of time in a conference learning new software that we will soon be teaching to clients.

I've been taking the kids to the YMCA to go swimming 2 or 3 times a wee, on top of their swim lessons. So they've been getting really good. Last week, Aaron graduated to the "big" kids class, in the big pool. He'll probably be one of the youngest kids in there, but I'm pretty sure he's ready for it.

Emma got a hair cut. She's not a long hair type of girl. It took some getting used to, mostly for Myles and me, but it's much better this way.

I've been getting the kids outfits for David and Lisa's wedding. It's coming up really quick. This weekend, it was gorgeous outside! We spent all and Saturday and Sunday in the backyard. Myles is working on a project, re-seeding in spots and moving some paver stones.

Hopefully, next week will be calm.

Have a good week!!!!!

The Bro is getting Hitched!

Well, the countdown has begun. My brother will be getting married in less than a month. Myles and I got them the plane tickets for their honeymoon to Vegas. They are getting married at the same place that I did, my parent's house! The kids will be flower girl and ring bearer, sorta, so I can't wait to see them all dressed up. I'm sure I'll take a million pictures, so you'll be seeeing them, too.

Where to start......

Whew, it's been a while, huh? On to the round-up.

We went to Frankenmuth for Easter. Always a blast. The kids loved it!

We left around lunchtime on Friday and went shopping in the Riverfront Shoppes. The popcorn place is there. Aaron's favorite. They have a gazillion flavors of popcorn. We got a big tub. Yummy. Then we checked into the hotel, The Bavarian Inn, and immediately went to the pool. After a couple of pruney hours we got out and headed to dinner. But first, I talked Myles into going for a hose-drawn carriage ride. Big mistake. Not that is wasn't fun, but the kids were very tired. So much so, that they slept for the whole ride. It was an expensive nap. Then walked around town for a little while, hit the Cheese Haus, my favorite, and then went back to the hotel to....can you guess??? Go swimming. We kept the kids up a little late, but, they loved it. Are you seeing a theme?? They are very happy chillin' right now.

The Cheese Haus

On Saturday the kids got up bright and early, so early, in fact, we had to wait for the restaurant to open for breakfast. Then, wait for it............we went swimming! LOL Pizza, which was surprisingly good, then a rest, then more of the pool. Then, we went to the Bavarian Inn for some candy making and some sopft pretzel making. SO much fun. Then we went to Zehnder's for dinner. Much better food than the Bavarian Inn. Chicken. Mmmmmm.

Pretzel making

Sunday, we waited for another restaurant to open, lol, and then went for a quick swim, packed up and headed home. Then at 2, we went to Mystic Creek Golf Course for an Easter Brunch. We saw my friend Jill and her fam, since I stole the idea from her, I wasn't too surprised. We had fun. Then lots of laundry and chillin at the homestead.

Monday Myles left for Belgium. He'll be gone until Saturday.

Have a good week! Believe it or not, I told the kids I'd take them to the pool today!! I think I'm raising fish!

More to come.....

I'll detail the week later, but I wanted to get some pics up now.

Crocuses are up!

Cool dude on his scooter.

Emma's ready for spring. I love those dimples.
