Friday Five

This was a short week for us all due to President's Day. We all welcomed the respite from the daily grind, but man, we were still exhausted come Friday. It's funny how four day weeks end up being crazier than a five day weeks. Maybe it is just the same amount of crazy gets crammed into a smaller number of days? I don't know, but crazy it was, and we are SO happy the weekend is here.

Speaking of weekend, it seems that we get to go to a district wide Spelling Bee tomorrow. I shall dub this event as "Spelling Bee Part Deux." Jason will, as runner-up in his school's spelling bee, get another chance to win a spot at the county level spelling bee. Fingers crossed for him!

It has been super cold for some time now; it's been cold enough, in fact, to actually have the school hold PE inside this week. I'll tell you what I have learned from this cold spell. We would not make good snow/cold weather people. There is a reason we live in the climate we do! lol

Why oh why do these boys of ours go out of their way to pester each other? It is their mission in life, right now, to bug their brothers, and they are all guilty. Boys.

It's Shawn's favorite time of the year -- chocolate Easter egg time! The boy absolutely LOVES chocolate eggs (and Cadbury eggs, for that matter) and would eat them year round if it was possible. lol. He almost died from delight when he saw those eggs on the shelf at Target this afternoon. lol. Any guess as to what he chose for his dessert this evening? Ha!
