I thought I'd do a quick overview of March 2018...
It's been an interesting month. Most notably, the oldest child is looking for a part-time job so that he can go back to college. He's not 100% sure of what he wants to go to school for, but I think he's seriously considering going into graphic design or media studies. He's leaning in this direction because the degree would tie into his personal goals, which he's not too keen to share as he's afraid of nay-sayers.
Ken has been meticulously researching tractors for the last couple of months. Our current lawn mower is in pretty rough shape and likely won't survive another summer. If he gets the machine he's been ogling, it would not only allow him to mow the several acres of lawn on the property, but it also let him transport things in the front loader and use a box blade to drag the driveway. We have so many potholes right now and need more stonecrete in front of the barn.
I went scrapbooking with my sister, Megan, and my sister-in-law, Ronnie. Joining us this time around was Karen, Danielle, and Laura V. If I remember correctly, I got somewhere around 16-18 pages done. All of them were of Gage as the little stinker thinks he needs to graduate school next summer.
My mom had joined us in the fall but she decided then that it would be her last trip downstate to join in the scrapbooking festivities. Instead, I'm going to try to make it up to her place once a year to scrap for a weekend.
We've made camping reservations throughout the state for this spring and summer. Our first trip will be close to home as we are once again heading to the campground that's less than five miles from home. This always proves to be a good idea because that first trip usually reveals everything you forgot you would need.
We closed out the month with tux shopping and Easter festivities.
Just as we normally do, we went to Ken's sister's house for Easter dinner with his parents. Later that night we played games. The guys played Euchre while us girls played Corked with the kids. I know the adult children were a little disappointed that their dads and uncles didn't want to play the same game as the rest of us, but such is life.
Easter Sunday Gage got up to go to church with Addi but not before baskets! This year the Easter Bunny didn't go all out. They got a bit of candy and a $25 gift certificate to our local movie theater.
In between Easter dinner and games at Ronnie & Troy's Friday night and Easter Sunday, I took Gage and Addi to the tuxedo rental place. Wow. Expensive. Next year the kid gets a suit that he can wear more than once!
I guess I shouldn't complain, though, because I can't imagine how expensive it must be to have a daughter going to prom.
