My Saturday
This week my hubby had to go to work on Saturday. He didn't work Wednesday due to weather conditions. Most of the employees weren't too thrilled with the idea... but thankfully it did enable Mr. Oz to stay home on the day that he was feeling pretty sick (cold/fever)... so it worked out for us! So, since we didn't have Daddy on the day we normally do, I tried to copy some of the things that Spiderman is used to doing on Saturday!
We went outside and worked in the flower gardens. He helped me pull weeds and toss them over the back fence (not into the neighbors yard, into the space between yards!). Then he helped me rake the dirt and he attempted to hoe, but almost hoed my head, so I put a stop to that. We played baseball for awhile and I have to say that he is GOOD! He can hit them really far and hits almost every pitch (except for some of the "balls" I was throwing... guess I am not as good of a pitcher as Daddy). I also did Mr. Oz's usual Saturday job of cleaning up after Cooper in the back yard. Ick.
Then we moved to the front yard and cleaned up the two raised beds. Unfortunately they need some more dirt because of some of it washing away over the year... so I cleaned out the mulch so that we can get the dirt where we want it, plant flowers, and then remulch them.
I also cleaned out the car, which really needed to happen!
Meanwhile, little Baby played with his toys in the play pen that I purchased at a yard sale last summer for $2! It was great! He was happy for quite awhile in there!!!
Today Baby and I are home from church... a week of interrupted sleeping (including last night at 4:40) and fevers and coughing and blowing noses has done me in! Today I am going to attempt to put Baby back on his schedule and make sure he gets his naps, which is really hard to do on Sundays.
Have a great day!

"The Easter Bunny is Going to Steal My Eggs!" Spiderman
Easter Morning at our house:
The boys got their first baskets this year.
Big Brother is a good helper!
His "Spiderman eggs" had bugs in them!
Our family, ready for the Easter Service at our church!
After church we headed to the farm for a family celebration of spring,
praising God for new birth and for the promises of Heaven!

Baby of Mine
Baby mine, don't you cryBaby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
<>
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
<>
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you
<>
From your head down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine

Family Update
Mr. Oz:
Working steadily at his job at Senske. He is currently a foreman for their maintenance department. Not his first choice, but he's making it work. Thankfully he has been getting some overtime the past few weeks... to balance out the few weeks where he struggled to get even 30 hours. He has advertised on Craigslist for tilling gardens and he has his first job this Saturday. He recently mentioned to me something to the effect of "maybe I should just be doing this job on my own ["you mean like owning your own business?"], yeah, I could make more money that way..." Etc... so maybe he's starting to decide what career path to take.
Spiderman:
Loving the warmer weather! We have taken some walks, gone to the park, played with Cooper in the backyard... and it's been good! Last night his Daddy finished reading "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" to him. We are celebrating by watching the *new* movie version of it tonight as a family. He has been registered/enrolled in Kindergarten for the fall. He will be attending Nampa Classical Academy (a new school that is just opening Fall 09). The school will be in portables for the first year as they begin building the three buildings: Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric. There will be grassy areas and playgrounds this fall. They are starting with the Gymnasium building so that hopefully by winter they can begin using it. We are trying to work out the whole uniforms situation at this point... caught a 30% coupon for Kohls and started purchasing some of the required pieces with it! The school is 4.5 miles away (10 mins) and so I will be driving him to school in the AM and then he will take the bus home, door-to-door drop offs. Currently he is showing off his black-eye... trampoline accident... but he hardly cried! He's such a big boy!
Baby:
Going on 3 1/2 months now... coos and laughs and giggles, which everyone loves! Every Sunday we don't see much of him because his extended family likes to have him sit with them during the service. :) He's into his 3-6 month clothes which include some really cute outfits that I loved putting on his big brother when he was a baby. He's completely chunky, but looks just like Spiderman did. It's really cool to see the same eyes, same nose, same pudgy cheeks (that I unfortunately share as well!)... Not quite ready to sit up, but he really wants to!
Da'Mama:
Getting ready for an upcoming transcribing job... preparing for my students' Spring Recital (piano and voice)... researching and planning to take a course to get licensed to teach Kindermusik starting this fall... bringing out our summer clothes and putting away the sweaters... cleaning the house... trying some new recipes... enjoying some movies and books... and making some new friends at church (including a weekly trip to Storytime with a friend and her son)... A pretty great life!
