On the Cusp of Summer

Despite snow/sleet/rain all this past week
and into this weekend,
AND
despite the proclamations of a few wingnuts
that the world was going to end,

the yahoos had a mighty-fine weekend.

The Caboose managed to have a late-night with a friend,
set-up a lemonade stand
and dog-sit some neighbors' dogs.

The Boofus also had a late-night,
spent alot of time wettin' a fishin' line
at the little pond,
participated in a neighborhood boys' airsoft battle,
and riding his bike every which way,
aside from helping his dad mow the yard,
dig a trench--
in which he proclaimed was
"great father-son bonding time".

Daisie babysat afterschool
and
had a date Friday,
got her hair cut into a chin-length bob
on Saturday,
and worked on Seminary make-up after church today.

Dani and Mr. Idaho arrived safely in Baytown, Texas
yesterday,
where they've been overwhelmed by the kindness,
in true Southern style.
As well as humidity.

Diana was called to be in her ward's Relief Society presidency
as a counsellor and is thrilled with the opportunity.

Mr W and I have been waiting to hear
if our offer on the new house was accepted.
It was.
I'm grateful.

I was also asked to teach Gospel Doctrine in two weeks.
I know, right?!
Ack!
Don't tell the teacher who asked me to do this,
but as soon as she turned away,
I whispered to Mr. W's ear,
"I hope I die before then."
true story.

We've gotten alot of much-needed rain lately,
which thrills me--selfishly so,
because the new house is empty
and I want the grass to get watered!
So everytime it rains,
we all smile our biggest smiles
and think of our new yard.

It's good to have things to look forward to...
School is out at the end of this week,
and all I can think of is
SUMMER!!!

What are you looking forward to this summer?
