Thank God...

it's the weekend! This week was never ending for sooo many reasons. First, I haven't really worked a full week since the end of February due to my vacation, Easter break, snow days, etc. so it dragged on and on. Second, Steve was supposed to come home from Alabama on Monday night and was delayed (and delayed and delayed...) and finally arrived Wed. afternoon sans luggage. Brutal! One piece arrived today but his beloved golf clubs are still M.I.A.

Although the weather wasn't great this week, me and my outdoorsy children were out and about every day...rain or shine (or major wind!!!) ! I took a few pictures of Abbey and Michael playing (using the school's camera...yes, mine is still NOT fixed but that's a whole other rant!!!)

This picture was taken Tuesday... I think?!? Abbey and Michael jumping in the puddles at the end of the driveway. The three of us walked to the mailbox with our umbrellas. Quite a cute sight! They were able to avoid the puddles for the most part but by the time we made it back home, the temptation proved too great and with me cheering them on, they jumped and splashed as hard as they could. Fun to watch (but even more fun to do I'm sure!!)

Here's Abbey and Michael on their two-wheelers. They are so good on them now! I had them stop long enough to take this picture. Most of the time I see this....

and they're off! It's so nice to live on such a quiet street! I can't wait to go on family bike rides...that's a far way off but it's something to look forward to! For now I'm happy jogging behind them yelling "Arrete au coin!!!" (that's "stop at the corner" for you Angie E. hee!hee!)
