4. Outdoors...
Mike was in Chicago a week or so ago and Jake took over dinner and other duties one night. He really loves to use the grill which is fantastic because I really do not. He grilled us burgers which was happy for Maddie because burgers are not her favorite food and she was a track meet...
After dinner he and I also quickly planted some grass plants that our neighbors gave us when they split their large ones up. Thank you! They will hopefully grow big and block some of the ugly view under the deck! We were working quickly because the sun was going down.
5. Planning...
Neither Mike nor I are in love with our kitchen. The refrigerator has been steadily making louder noises for the past few months to the point that we've started to look at new appliances. While doing that we realized other things that needed to be updated. We did the whole "taping off" trick to decide if moving some cabinets would help with flow and layout. We decided in the end that what we would lose wasn't worth the extra work or cost. So, we'll do some aesthetic things and make a list for new ideas when we have a different house someday.
6. Rain...
The week that Mike was in Chicago this was our view Sunday through Thursday...
Every morning I texted him with, "Still. Raining." There have only been a couple of sunny days in the last couple weeks and we are treasuring those!
7. More Music...
Maddie had her last choir concert for Junior High! It was a Pops Concert and they did an amazing job on their songs; I truly think it was the best concert I had heard from them.
Her select choir sung the theme song from "Bond" movies complete with actions...
I also got to debut my mad African drum skillz.
And there you have it. Our spring in a nutshell.
