Spring, oh how I love and hate this time of year! I am taking a break from my giant load of dishes and laundry to blog. We will see how long I hold up with a five year old at my hip asking tons of questions. Days like this, I would give anything for five minutes alone. Ahh, he's going to nana's to look a baby kittens, but will be right back. Type like the wind!!! LOL. Yeah, I know hardly anyone is reading this anymore, but its still good for me. I can't say everything random I want to say on FB and now that I'm on twitter, I can barely figure out how to follow it. It's almost seizure inducing.

We are knee deep in tball/softball/baseball right now. Tony is playing out of guilt because there weren't enough kids to make a team for Zac. He actually didn't do too bad yesterday and its good for him to get outside once in a while. Zac hit 9 out of 10 balls thrown to him. Aiden's tball team is.....interesting. There are 18 kids on the field. I asked the person in charge of the league, and she said that she only had forms and money for 11. Hmmm. I guess I will stay out of it and grin and bear. Angie had an off game in softball last week, but overall, her team is doing pretty well. There is one team that they never beat, and I'd like to see it happen. They aren't better, but the girls end of letting them into their heads, and end up beating themselves. Their coach argues every point, every play, and the girls in the dug out are just rude sometimes. One girl got hit with a ball, and they yelled "take that, you deserve it." I just don't understand people. But, each year our girls are a little better, and have just a little more self confidence.

This time of year, is the fun stuff at school. Field trips, etc. Friday Angie and her friend are going to the movies with their principal because of AR points. Angie and Tony will have a music recital next week. Today is Emi's last day of Tuesday school, so there's a program tonight. Not sure if she is going to pre-k, we are on the waiting list because the school is now requiring kids to qualify. Ugh. I really want her to go, but she will be ok if she doesn't. We will do another year of Tuesday school.

I've been trying to put together a summer reading list. Taking suggestions. I haven't found a single list on the internet that I like. I'm looking for "smart" books. Books that an adult won't mind reading, but geared toward children. Books that aren't just great stories, but teach kids about something, a period of time, science, how we relate to others. I've found several "gifted kids" lists, but usually the main character is gifted in some way and these books are about how its ok to be different. Well, we (including me) already know what thats like.

Well, unfortunately the laundry isn't going to fold itself.

Happy Easter
