May - I love the beginning of warm sunny days, but feeling the exhaustion of the end of the school year! The rest of April was pretty good, not too eventful. The last week or so has been pretty busy, we got a huge load of mulch last Friday and I've been slowly but surely working my way through the front and back yard spreading it all. The worst part of it is that we were told we should put cardboard down first as a weed blocker, and finding such huge volumes of cardboard has been quite a challenge! I've been scavenging on neighborhood Facebook groups, friends, stores - Costco turned out to be quite a score because of the big square pieces of cardboard that separate the layers on their pallets. The problem is they never have a bunch all at once so I have to keep going back . . . and ask again . . . I think I may have scavenged enough today to hopefully finish off the yard. There is still quite a pile of mulch out there, but the end is in sight! Looking forward to just enjoying the fruits of my labor! Brian has been working in the ravine, so while he hasn't done a whole lot with this mulch project, he has been busy doing other stuff;-).
I went with Lynsey's class on a field trip to the state capital building in Olympia this past Tuesday. It was a lot of fun! I learned a lot, I think I was more interested than most of the fifth graders:-D. It was nice for Lynsey that I came along, I think she sees the end of her field trip days coming and she wanted me to be able to come and enjoy this one with her.
Not much else to report from the Kroeker house at this point. Adam is doing pretty well, he was a bit sick this week so he's been a bit irritable. Lots of repetition. He did have to stay home on Monday because he threw up in the morning. It was a bit funny actually, clearly throwing up made him feel a ton better, so when he heard that he didn't have to go to school, he was in the best mood for the rest of the day! I guess in some ways he is typical after all:-).
