It IS April, right?

I think someone forgot to give Mother Nature the memo announcing April! We've been blessed with near 60 degree weather recently, but it's been below normal lately - in the 30s! We had a nasty snow storm Thursday, and were without power for 12 hours. We're one of the lucky ones though, there are still a lot that are without power even now! There's a chance we may be getting another storm in the near future, hopefully it will pass by!

We're all battling colds right now. Nate has the sniffles, and had a sore throat yesterday. I've got a sore throat, congested nose, and my sinuses feel like they're going to explode! Kaiden has his first "real" cold, thankfully it's not horrible, but he does feel yucky. Hopefully we're feeling better for Easter!

Easter day, I'm going to Mom's with K, and Nate will be cooking dinner here. Once it's ready, he's bringing it to Mom's, and we're doing Easter dinner there. Trish will be coming, and possibly Grampy and my Gram. I guess we'll see when Sunday comes! We're also doing an egg hunt for the twins, and Nate will be doing a scavenger hunt for his birthday present, since his birthday is Monday.

Kaiden's Easter basket is all ready to go, though I'm not sure if we'll do it here or at Mom's. He's getting Goodnight Moon, a bunny plush toy, and a bunch of wooden toys from Oompa. I can't wait to give them to him! The "filling" is green shredded paper, and the basket itself is a wicker basket - all recyclable!

Hope everyone is doing well, and I'll do my best to update more often!

Is March over yet...?

Dear Weatherman,

It has recently come to my attention that you've been the root of a rather cruel joke. You've been a wonderful man to us all winter, giving us mild temperatures and sparing us from blizzards. Earlier this month, someone must have really pissed you off... We were frozen stiff with record cold temperatures, colder even than we'd seen all winter. It was very cruel, and unappreciated!

Thankfully, you relaxed and warmed us back up. Things were a typical March here, until this week. Did someone bribe you for us to receive such nice weather? I've been loving the near 60 temperatures, and the rapidly disappearing snow. I was all set to deliver an amazing gift of chocolates and a new weather pointer stick to your office.

Then I saw the forecast... Why oh WHY are you being so cruel? SNOW? A FOOT of snow?! You do realize it's almost April, right? I can only hope you're seeking the proper medical help. Perhaps they've diagnosed you with multiple personality disorder? I really do think medication is in order, or perhaps a public flogging. In the meantime, I'll be here, waiting for your next mood swing and some warm weather.

Signed...
Anxiously Awaiting April!
