In a nutshell...

Things have been very busy lately! Very busy! I can't believe how much we have accomplished in the last few weeks! We got the house chores back under control from houseguests, we cleaned out the camp trailer and Jes' work truck, and found homes for all that stuff that these vehicles contained... and turned them back over to the bank (*sob*). We enjoyed Spring Break, with kids home all week... playing with friends, playing their DS's, and helping mom rotate summer/winter clothes and enjoying the sunshine. I went on an early morning temple trip. We cleaned off the back patio and cleaned up the back yard. We cleaned out the chicken coop. We cleaned out the front fower beds. We cleaned out the storage closet in my bathroom, and gave away 3 large black garbage bags AND 3 big boxes of unnecesary STUFF. LOL We have created our kids personal 72 hour kits and helped them get to know what is in their packs. We have cleaned out the "coat cave" and put away all the winter wear. Jes has worked hard all day at his new job, and spent evenings working on side jobs as well as all this previously mentioned stuff. We cleaned up "G'pa & G'ma" (next door)'s yard up, trimmed their roses and edged and mowed their lawn. We have replaced the gear box in the '88 Ford and got it all ready to be registered this week. We also gave away our chickens (rotten brats were eatin' our eggs...) and got new chicks. We exchanged a hamster for one that doesn't bite. We took Caleb birthday present exchange shopping (his monster truck would not turn left! :( ) We have made meals, washed laundry, ironed clothes, changed bedding, bathed kids, planned menus, grocery shopped, birthday parties, a date night with my sweetheart.... go go go go go!

And I have to totally admit.... I HAVE FREAKIN' LOVED IT!!!

I am so so so thankful to have the strength and capacity to do all this!!!
We have had a WONDERFULLY busy, normal life the last two weeks!!
WAHOO!! *GRIN* Love it!

Bring on next week! ;)
