Spring Weeeee

You know that feeling when you first start to slip down a tall slide? I mean, I know it's not like you have done this recently... but it's exhilarating enough to not forget. Better yet, coming down on a roller coaster. It's fun in your future! A an immediate rush!
(or sushi up your throat)
Spring is doing that to me this year. I think the weather change is the cause for this new motivation and inspiration. I love it!
One fun thing we recently did is start Elliet in Soccer. I must confess that by the time I signed her up, we missed the deadline so our coach friend fit her on his all boy team. Is that weird? I hope she won't stand out too much in her bright pink shorts...She had a great time though and knew some of the boys from her class. I think Scott was a little more excited than she was...

We are heading to Newport this weekend. My list keeps growing of things I want to do with the "down time" that is a probably a pipe dream. Is it too ambitious to decide in two days what embroidery machine I want to get and buy it so I can learn how to use it down there? And do some Pysanky Easter eggs while the kids do their Paas? And read a book? And watercolor? And ride my bike? AND try some new recipes because my cookbook came!? Hello coconut cupcakes! Oooh goodness, here comes the spicy tuna.... slow down, sister.

But I am still going down the slide....
We return home, I face Enrichment night and THEN.... I am heading to Utah for a noble and virtuous purpose. Elliet will miss two school days for this purpose.... to see my family, who I love dearly, but alas- it is a deeper conviction of devotion in my reason for travel. Vampire Weekend play Monday, the 31st. Happy FHE! Rich and I are going to hop like happy Easter bunnies. Oh, such great music coming forth this Spring from some awesome bands. I can tell this year is going to be a good one.
