Um…this week? Tried to kill me. It tried hard. But I fought back in my ball of stressed-ness, and made it through. Now, I have to think about leaving for Blissdom in a little over four days.

March 10

Sunday was uneventful….I may or may not have stayed in my pajamas for most of the day. There was snuggling, and piling up, and that’s all I remember.

March 11

We had a visitor Monday night/Tuesday morning. He was large, and persistent. I’m calling it “the raccoon saga,” also known as a perk of living in the country. The fence goes around our front porch, and the dead trees are my garden. About six feet to the left are the fenced in dogs, who didn’t stop barking for a solid 14 or so hours while this guy was around.

My handsome boy.

March 13

We had storytime to go to Wednesday morning, and Essie let Erv wear the puppy dog hat. And this happened.

March 14

First day of Spring Break, and finally a warm day. Warm enough that the koala hat was put on and immediately shed. Oh, and that’s two day old Infallible lipstick on her cheeks. The girls made an old-makeup discovery while playing together.

March 15

It was 70 for the second day in a row, and the second day of Spring Break. This picture pretty much says it all.

March 16

The busiest day in a long while. I woke up early to run two miles for the Omron Fitness training plan, plus another 1.1 for the Shamrock Virtual 5K, and then spent the rest of the morning and afternoon getting ready for Erv’s second birthday party. (Oh, and the 70 degree weather? GONE. In came the cold and windy, just in time for a party at the house.)

I’m crazy about this picture of the four of them. It’s pretty much all of their personalities in one shot of awesomeness.
