Coming off of Spring Break and a wonderfully busy Easter weekend, it's kind of nice to be back in the groove this Monday!

What do you have planned for the week?

Of course, it's BYOC time here, so behind the scenes we're gearing up for a truly fabulous April collection. Can't wait to share it with you!!
On the home front, it's also a packed schedule. Spring sports have started, so DD1 has track meets this week. I'm working on the year in review album for DD2's Daisy troop. My 7 month old puppy starts Level 2 obedience classes on Thursday. She needs them! I start my spring Bible study on Thursday as well. I also have a fun day of thrifting and antiquing planned for Wednesday. A dear friend of mine is an Etsy shop owner and she knows all of the best places to score cool finds. I am working on monogram wall, so I hope that I will be able to buy a bunch of unique letter M's.

I hope everyone has a happy, productive week! :thumbsups
 
oh my, you are one busy lady!

Well, we start ICE SHOW practices this week... yay!!!!! The practices are interweaved between Basic 5 (figure skating) classes and hockey classes, so she might be cranky for the next 4 weeks. It's going to be a long month with all that time at the ice, YAY!!! Why yay? well, I will be caught up with my reading!
 
What a relaxing weekend! We (as a family) have decided to turn the puters off all weekend!! It was fabulous time! So much done!
We have a week of school then a late spring break next week, so I am rushing to clean everything this week, so I can play with the kids and go make memories next week!
1. bug the powers that be, so I can be a Polly for the month wooot wooot! so I will be scrapping machine!
2. Dust and clean my room! Hubby moved his laptop for a small office in there to study and I want to make it more cozy!
3. Laundry
4. Steam clean homeschool room!
5. redo bills with hubs new job/pay schedule!
6. Get scholarship forms together with eldest boy.
7. Write an update for bio granma's of our littles, so her heart will rest easy. ♥
8. File! ugh
 
No one get jealous but I am deep cleaning my bathrooms today.

Also the new Lalaloopsy TV show goes into regular rotation today...so I will be DVR'ing that for my 3 year old and probably watch it at least 10 times before bedtime.

I know, I know it's hard not to be envious of super exciting life.
 
We had a wonderful Easter weekend and we're still on Spring break until Wednesday, but the kiddos sports start back up today so we have practices scheduled. So my week will be full of schlepping, but I'm going to enjoy having the kids around today and tomorrow.
 
just a typical week for us this week, homeschooling and ballet and Awanas

I'm thinking I'm a bit crazy, but I've started several challenges for myself this month...
1) Whole30 eating
2) Simple Green Smoothies 30 day challenge
3) 30 day squat challenge
4) 30 day shred challenge
 
My kids started their spring break today. Oy.

I have 2 running clinics going on now, plus the class I'm taking, and the kids home. Should be a fun week. O.o
 
Work, work, work!

We're gearing up for standardized testing next week so its a bit crazy here this week!

On the home front......catch up on laundry, help a friend with her wedding coming up next Tuesday, and hopefully find some time to relax. We're heading out next Friday afternoon for a camp weekend and pull the camper home after 6 months at camp. Next week, besides work, I'll have to get in the RV and get it cleaned up for all the events we'll be going to over the Spring and Summer months.
 
I am so tired after Easter! Good time with my fam, but a lot of time in the car!
 
I am home with two sicklings today, but that hasn't put a damper on the April Fool's hijinx. :)
The rest of the week will be spent getting back into the groove after recovering from spring break, easter, and a house full of sickies.
 
Spring Break here this week, so I expect it to be relatively quiet at the office, and I have big plans to get a lot of stuff done! We'll see :) I'm teleworking tomorrow (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this option) and its going to be in the mid-70's, so I have big plans for sitting with my laptop on the back patio. Other than work stuff, not much planned for me this week besides tallying up the March challenges, and getting a CT page or two done.
 
This is our last relaxing week until July!!! Soccer starts up next Tuesday so it's practices two days a week and then games on Saturday. Then baseball starts up a few weeks after that so we have to juggle both soccer and baseball practices and games!! Thankfully the two boys will be on the same baseball team this year so we don't have to juggle two of each!!

The boys were gone for spring break so I had a nice break!! I didn't get as much scrapping done as I hoped, but I did get my craft room done so now I have all my stuff in one spot and don't have to work on PL pages on the floor anymore! LOL

The boys started back to school today so it is good to be back in a routine.

I have my 1 month post surgery check up today.....so I will see when therapy starts and if I can get this boot off yet!!

Other than that...it's a normal week for us!!!!!
 
Today is my one day off work this week. Soccer starts back up for both kids so I'll be busy! I got my errands done this morning and now I hope to enjoy the rest of the day scrapping!

Here in Iowa people do May Day, so I hit Target for slashed prices on Easter candy and cute little tin buckets for .50 in the $1 section! The kids will have fun delivering to all the neighbor kids and their good friends.

It's Spring Break week for us here, but hubby and I still have to work, so we run the boys out to my parents house each morning (8 miles away) and then have to run get them after work. So, we don't have a lot of free time after work. It's pretty much dinner, clean up and then story time. :) My sister and her family are coming into town this weekend though, so that'll be fun. She has two boys pretty much the same ages as mine, so they are always in seventh heaven playing together. My parents will come over and we just hang out and catch up.
 
The house was so quiet today after having Spring break last week.
 
Spring Break is over and my kiddo is finally over the flu, so it's shaping up to be a good week here. I've got to start working on invites for her 7th birthday next month and I am so ready to start spring cleaning! All the winter clutter and too small clothes in the drawers is driving me bananas! Although I need it to warm up because my 18 month old has had a lovely growth spurt and most of her winter clothes are too short in the arms!
 
My kids just started their spring break and the oldest 2 went to my MIL's house for the week so I am planning a huge deep clean and organization (aka-throwing away a bunch of junk in their rooms) of the house all week.
 
this week is our spring break!
Monday hubby was home... we got quite a bit done around the house.
Tuesday & Wednesday my friends 3 boys are coming to spend the day while she's at school. 6 kids in my house between the ages of 7-11, 5 of them being boys....I think we are going to go bowling so we're not all stuck in the house.
The rest of the week will be pretty chill. I'm hoping to get a few house projects done and maybe get a bit more caught up on my PL. That's about all I have planned.
