Hippity-Hoppity

Not sure why it didn't - but this was supposed to go live last Friday!!  Guess today's post will have to wait...

April is almost over.  Spring is fighting to stick around.  Some days are warm and the air is still, and others are chilly, windy and cold.  Easter was here.  The bunny did a half-assed prep job this year, but it's done and over and no one really knew the difference.  We saw family, ate too many carbs and sugars, felt like crap (Happy Easter!) and had a car full of sleeping children by 5pm.  

My perennial garden plants are out in full, growing by the hour it seems.  We held off on starting our inside seeds this year as every year we get excited and jump the gun and have plants that don't fare well.  We hit 31 degrees overnight 4 days ago, but the forecast is looking better every day.  

Nature hates me, as usual. I sneeze 1,476 times a day and curse my sinuses.  

Chase had his 5th grade band concert last night, not only did he do awesome (it's pretty easy to tell when the trombones are on it since they carry the bass) but he was awarded the Community of Caring Award of Excellence.  We are so, so, so proud of him and the fact that he was publicly recognized for his achievement, positive attitude, kindness towards others and abilities.  The band instructor even gave a small speech about just how important the trombone section is - the anchors of the band, she called them.  Way to go, Chaser!!
