Catching Up!!

I know it has been a really long time since I have posted. I had a really fun and long Easter/Spring Break. The girls and I went to MN for Easter. We stayed up there for three days then went to my sister-in-law, Ellen's, house (Ben's sister). We stayed with her for two days. Then we drove back to WI with my other sister-in-law, Lori, and her two girls. They stayed with us for four days and five nights with Ben's brother joining us for the weekend. It was so much fun to see family and I had a great time with Ellen and Lori.

I am still trying to catch up on life though. It seems no matter how many loads of wash I do there is always three more. We used every towel in the house when Lori was here. I actually had to wash two loads of towels.

I will upload some pictures tomorrow of our Easter, Spring Break, visit with Ellen, visit with Lori, and Audrey in her new ballet outfit. She started a ballet class today. She was so excited to wear her outfit and go to class that she wouldn't eat any lunch. She was pretty good too.

Alexis is so happy to be back at school. Yesterday she told her favorite part of school was the whole day and then with more prodding, math. She is still adjusting to getting back on schedule though. Both girls had to be woken up this morning at 7:45am so Daddy could get to work! (I went to a friends house at 5am to watch her four girls while she went for a procedure at the hospital so Ben had to bring the girls to me once they woke up.) At any rate, I am tired tonight. I almost left the rice all over the floor from dinner but I just couldn't do it. :)

Pictures will be forthcoming tomorrow and then everybody can see how much fun we had the last week and a half.

I have my 5K race this Saturday. I'm excited. It should be fun. It certainly keeps me focused on exercising when I know I have to keep up with my friends for 3.1 miles! I'll try to get some pictures of that too. Ben's other sister, Janet, and I are going to try and run a 10K in May. That should be grueling considering Janet is a serious runner and runs six days a week! If I don't look amazing after training for that there is something seriously wrong with my body!

Bed is calling. More tomorrow.
