Destructor

once again, this week has been cloudy, cool, rainy, blegh. the sun has come out for minutes at a time today and when it's out, my mood instantly lifts. it's the wildest thing. and then, as soon as it's cloudy again, i'm mopey. since we had virtually no winter this year, i remember hearing theories that we'd have a wet spring. guess someone was right.

the girls are sleeping (!!!!), and i only had to sit in their room for 10 minutes to make sure no one (ahem, nola) was sneaking out of their bed or trying to be a stand up comedian. yesterday, i took her out of the room twice (once at naptime, once at bedtime) with her mattress and she didn't like it one bit. hopefully that'll be a reminder for her to stay put and to stay quiet. we'll see.

the steps that i painted last week are already ruined. well, not really ruined, we can paint them again, but that's a pain and a time committment that we don't have right now. i don't think i even need to hint at who is responsible. 

 in other news, we're so excited for summer! i've been seeing some "summer bucket lists" around the internet, so we made ours yesterday. i might make another one too, because i've been thinking of lots of little things to do during the days that it isn't nice enough to go to the res beach, etc. avery and nola were using watercolors with me, and wanted me to make a "paper with letters and numbers and boxes, big and small" for them to color. avery did an awesome job with hers! if i had known how cute it was going to turn out, i would have taken more time to make my part neater, and maybe would have tried harder to remember nola's birthday, and my married name. (note: put this on the next summer list)

on that same note, i got an email from one of my summer class professors yesterday with the syllabus and assignment schedule. it was more a "here's what's coming up, so you can plan accordingly and get everything you need before it's too late", but my reaction to it was "NOOOOOO! i haven't had enough time off! i don't want to do more work! it's almost summer, but that means that it's almost class time!" at least this isn't the class i'm looking forward to. just one that i have to take to graduate. i can't wait to get my other class info! children's lit? very excited about it :)

told ya we were excited.
