May 13

It's May 13 and this should be a Friday not a Tuesday, because you would only think this would happen on a Friday the 13th. "What is happening?" you ask. Well, it is May 13th and it's SNOWING. Yes, it's snowing, again. Granted, it's not sticking to the ground because yesterday it was 75 degrees! But, this is definitely getting old.

Now that that is off my chest, let's do a quick update for you all.

On Thursday we went to Campbell's school for a program. The third graders were all doing a shadow play of Asop's Fables. It turned out to be really cute. We were easily able to tell which shadow was our daughter. Besides the fact that she was a foot shorter than the other kid in the skit, she was the most dramatic. While other kids just sort of stood still during their parts, Campbell had the drama arms, neck, and mouth. She was definitely playing up her bunny part. It was really cute. We are suppose to all get a dvd of the skit showing both what the audience sees and what is going on behind the shade. I will share when we get those.

Friday after school, the kids and I headed down to the new house. We took a carload of stuff. Aaron had picked up a "new" bedroom set that day and we were going to help him offload that at the new house. Aaron and I decided that it was time to get a King size bed and we found a decent set on Craigslist so we took the plunge. While at the house we got to meet some of our new neighbors. Campbell was very excited to meet the two little girls next door to us.

Saturday, we did a lot of cleaning and packing here at the house. Aaron took the kids out to try to get my Mother's Day gift. They had no luck. He had something specific in mind. He wanted to get me a new leather jacket. He is apparently tired of seeing the old one that has definitely seen better days. They came home empty handed. We all went later and still came up empty handed so we decided to go out to dinner. It seems that although it is still snowing here in May, all the stores have sent all of their jackets back to the warehouses.

Sunday morning, I got to sleep in. It was very much needed. I woke up to my favorite coffee drink, breakfast in bed, and tulips. Campbell also gave me a little plant that she planted at school for me. It was all very sweet. After breakfast we all got up and got ourselves showered and dressed. We had lunch with Aaron's former co-worker, Sabash, and his wife, Pad Man Jah. It was a lot of fun. We had some delicious authentic Indian cuisine. Pad Man Jah is in love with our kids and gave them each a board game. We had a wonderful time with them.

After lunch we took another load of stuff down to the new house and left Aaron there. He is staying down there during the week so that he doesn't have to commute so far. With the gas prices the way they are, anything more than 10 miles is completely unaffordable.
