Thursday Thoughts

• Not too much going on around here, except for baseball, basketball x2, girl scouts, and boy scouts.  That's all.
• I waited until the last minute to file our taxes, and now I want the refund ASAP.  Can't remember why I waited so long. Hmm.
• The weather is finally changing to more nice days and fewer not nice days (knock on wood) but it's still freaking FREEZING sitting through a 2+ hour baseball game at 6pm.  It's windy as all get out, and Annalise has little ice cube hands.
• It feels like Friday.  Hate it when I'm off by a day.
• Jury duty on Monday.  Wonder if I'll actually get called in?  Either way it kind of sucks, beacuse I block my schedule at work.  If I don't get called in, I still have to come to work, and then I'll have nothing to do.
• Earth day is on Monday, so we're going to do some street cleaning on Saturday.  It happens to be right during a baseball game, but I'll somehow make it work.
• Last weekend I tried some new recipes.  This weekend I think I'm sticking with more classics.  I do want to try some variations though.  I'll be sure to link pinterest recipes I use.
• First the bombing, then the fertilizer plant explosion.  The funny thing is, the bombing will get and got MUCH more press, but which was more deadly and which was actually more likely?  It's like car accidents vs. plane crashes....
• I think Tom and I are going out this weekend.  I should probably try to find a babysitter.  We'll have to go to our favorite bar, but I think we're going to try a new resturant.

Feel free to post your own Thursday thoughts, just link back to Jen @ Ramblings of a Suburban Mom!

Hmm

Didn't get even close to everything finished that was on my list. I did start a new book, Freedom by Jonathan Franzen, but no one ever lets me read around here :-/

Did get lots of laundry done, as wells some spring cleaning in the kitchen, but I did not purge the cupboards.

Sweet potato tot things I made were not great...but the hash made out of the leftovers was good!

Not ready for the week to begin, so I'm going to read for a bit before bed.

Some of last week

Just hanging out

Watching Jake play baseball in the wind

Birthday party for a friend.  Annalise stayed home sick, but the big kids had fun!

Stache AND unibrow

High fashion for baseball.  Cold and Windy once again

Hanging on my lap.  Ignore the neon yellow stain on the carpet.  Damn neon silly putty/flubber shit.

Self explanatory 

Killian and Annalise each playing some music

Almost the middle of April

Once again, time is just flying on by.

This weekend we only have 1 baseball game tomorrow.  That's it.  Next Saturday I'm fucked.  Tom works, Jake has a baseball game, Clara and Jake both have basketball games, and I'm organizing a road clean up session.  WTF--stupid me.

This weekend I plan on cleaning the kitchen to include organizing the dishes and pots and pans cupboards and drawers.  I plan on baking at least 1 loaf of bread, probably zucchini bread (Clara's favorite).  Not sure what I'll be cooking.  The last few things I've made were meh, so I'm not feeling really motivated :(  I have a chicken thighs.  Probably going to BBQ them.  Super exciting.

Annalise had her 15 month appointment today.  She is 31" long, 21lbs 4oz, and doing really well.  She had 2 shots (we are doing an odd shot schedule so she never has to have more than 2), and didn't cry for either.  And managed to peel her bandaids off shortly after they were placed.  She likes coming to visit me at work, and when we go visit everyone, I hear 100 times "She is such a doll/she looks exactly like you/holy crap she's 15 months already!"  Crazy ;-)  She still isn't talking much, but she's starting to imitate conversations more so I have a feeling actual words will commence soon!

My sister brought my nephew up to visit yesterday.  So fun to see Annalise and Killian playing together--they are 8 weeks apart.  Killian is a big fan of patting Annalise's head and hugging her.  They fall over a lot.  Luckily they're only an hour away so we see them fairly regularly :)  This was from the end of January.  I haven't uploaded pics from yesterday--the camera is in the car (please don't steal it!) and it just started pouring.  Not going out right now...

Saturday

Baby girl is sick, and it makes me sad. That is all.
