April

Mikayla takes after me in her thought process. I am known to have some of the weirdest random thoughts and get lost in my thoughts. Last week Mikayla said something like, "I'm so frustrated, I can't remember some of my earliest memories. I should be able to because it's me, I should know me. It's not like someone else can't remember the early me, it's me thinking of me."

Yesterday Ellie came up to me very wide eyed, "Mom, do you know what trees grow?! STICKS! Trees grow the sticks!"

Very cute. They keep me on my toes. Well, my triathlon start time this Sunday is 9:15 and our flight to Orlando is at 1:00. I'm still a little nervous leaving the kids, but they'll be fine and will be in good hands.

Here's a picture of what Ellie does sometimes with her imagination. The laundry basket is her boat and the blue bath rug is the river. Ellie is trying to scoop up the bathtub fish toys with her net.


We are in the process of tearing down our old deck. I got started a little yesterday and Nate will work on more tonight. The first week of May we'll get a new deck on. It should be an interesting month. That same week is my carpel tunnel surgery!

Here's some pics of our deck before we demolish it:


You can see how it's already coming apart. Hopefully it will be an easy demolish!
