Well, I am typing to you on another rainy day in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I so need to change the background of my blog to rain if I can find one. I hope this finds everyone well.
Our fun news is we went to see Thomas the Train and friends live on stage last night. I didn't really know what to expect, but I am so happy that we went. Our first surprise was walking up the stairs to go into the Mcleod center (our UNI basketball area) our friend Katy yelled down at us. Katy and her son Dylan were there and they live in Marion and one more crazy thing they are coming to our house on Saturday. What are the odds? Anyway...we got our tickets and we went into see the show. The boys were just excited to see the sign. Well, we settled in and the show started....It was so loud, so I kinda think Kai was freaked out. He ended up sitting on my lap for the 1st part. Yeah I love how you have to pay for 4 seats because you really only use 2 oh well. So, we all loved the show. It was about 1.5 hours long and they took an intermission 1/2 way through (with little kids you really don't need an intermission). Finally Kai started to understand the whole thing and get used to it and really loved the show. Oh Kade had a couple of moments where he wanted down, but he was so very tired. All in all we are so happy we went. What a fun experience.
Any plans for the weekend? Well, we are hosting a Cinco De Mayo party for 2 other couples and there will be 2 other boys here. We are very excited! We are so lucky to have good friends and now be able to have more of them over at once. Now if it were just nice out this Saturday.....that would be even better. Our next goal is to get our garden started. I need to buy the plants and I think my in-laws are going to come and help us with that, but I am growing a lot of weeds out there, so I at least know that something will grow. I also need to plant some flowers and plants this year...lord have mercy....I have never done this before, so any advice would be helpful. Well, PK needs to get up and off to work (long hours lately) and I need to get my boys up and moving.
