We Have Not Fallen Off the Face of the Earth

Here is a rundown of the past couple weeks at the Watson household:

Easter was really fun. Alexia colored eggs and showed Daddy every single one. She was so proud of all her work.

After not feeling well for so many weeks, I have gone on a cleaning spree. I feel like I need to get all the spring cleaning done so I have been going through drawers, toys, clothes, ect. Alexia has been helping me get "all the dusty, cruddy corners" (as she likes to call them because she knows how much it bugs me). Having someone tell you how gross everything is while you clean really makes you feel like you haven't kept things very clean. After she finished a job she tells me that it's "Super Dooper Clean" (compared to my "Little Bit Super Dooper Clean). She even told me she "spit cleaned" her room. Yeah!

Brian and I have both been working a lot. He is back into graduation and wedding season. I am just happy that we both have full time work. I have put in some job applications around town. (If my boss is reading this, you know it's just that I am sick of working with "alleged criminals" everyday. It's nothing against you!) I am hesitant to leave Dean's office because who knows when or if more layoffs might happen but I have faith that the Lord will lead me in the right direction. If there is anyone in or around the Iowa City area who needs a good administrative assistant, call me!

I have started reading the book, Jesus the Christ. I am really excited to read this and so far I have only had to get the dictionary out once.

We have dandelions all over our yard, so this weekends project is to do some major yard work. We have had so many weekends of rain, it will be nice to have a sunny weekend to get things done.

TTFN.

Snow, Snow, Go Away...And Don't Come Back Until Next Winter

First and foremost, I want to congratulate my sister Joanna and her husband Brandon on their handsome baby boy. I have not heard if he has a name yet, but the pictures that I have seen are beautiful. Brian, Alexia, and I are glad to welcome the newest addition to the family and can't wait to see him.

We got snow today. Yuck! Lexi is mad because she can finally ride her bike without training wheels, a feat that we have been working on since the fall, and it was raining again today so the ground was too slick to ride. She has been riding her bike while I jog several times a week to get some exercise.

Well, by the time I picked her up from school she was walking around singing snow, snow go away and come again next Christmas. Obviously very disappointed that it was snowing again, which says a lot because she loved being in all the snow this past winter. She is the last person I thought would complain about more snow, but that shows you that even those who love snow have had enough already.

As for Easter, we had a good time. Alexia had to wait for daddy to get home a little after 4:00PM before the Easter Bunny came, but when he did he brought sidewalk paint and the movie Enchanted (which we watched that same day). Enchanted has fast become Lexi's new favorite because she like to scene where they clean the apartment and the rats, pigeons, and cockroaches come to help. Lexi believes that she will train rats to help her clean her room one day, after they cook dinner of course (guess the other favorite). I would post some pictures from Easter, but our camera is broken so I can't take any for a while. I did manage to get some pictures during Lexi's egg hunt, but I can't load them on the computer. Sorry, I will try to get it fixed quickly so you can see current pictures.

Well, I'm off to bed. Have a good night.
