What an update this will be; I haven’t gotten on here in quite the while! YIKES! I’ll try to cut it short!
Our Easter weekend turned out to be wonderful! Saturday we went to a free festival in Norfolk with a family Brandon works with. They have a little one who is absolutely adorable and is just a tad bit older than Graysen. The festival wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, but it was still fun. It ended up being pretty chilly so I’m glad I didn’t pay for it, we didn’t stay TOO long. Sunday morning Graysen woke up and got her Easter goodies from the Easter Bunny. She got a lot of Summer time things to play with outdoors and some clothes and stuffed animals. She was overall impressed, or so I would like to think! We then did a little Easter egg hunt outside before we had to leave. She loved it was so excited to find the eggs and pack them into her little basket! We then left and meet another family at Cracker Barrel for a midmorning brunch, and then we all went over to Hunt Club Farm. It’s a little Farm in Virginia Beach and they have tons of fun stuff to do. We were a little iffy on it, but we realized Graysen is at that age now where she is enjoying all those festivities, so it’s fun for us! We went straight into the egg hunt since we wanted to get at least the ten eggs we were promised for the 12 dollars we paid for little miss, but she didn’t want much to do with it. She was too busy staring at the pony’s across the way! So we decided to let her go on a pony ride. I was very skeptical because sometimes she thinks she wants to do something but when she gets there to do it she freaks out!! To my surprise she LOVED it! She barley even wanted to get off the horse! She also went into one of those BIG bounce houses. They had one for little kids and she ran straight to it.. we let her go in and then couldn’t get her out haha! With all that and all the farm animals that she just loved it was a wonderful Easter!
Well, it is that time of year and the yard work is in! We did our first BIG day of yard work the Tuesday before Easter. I was on a mission to get the yard pretty cleaned up before that fence was supposed to come in, and I think I did very well. I even took the lead in taking our gutter off to find the squirrel’s hole the size of both my hands!! That took a little while to fix, and we still have yet to cover the rest of our house in Metal, but hopefully it’s a temporary fix to keep those things OUT of our attic. Yes they were the noises I was hearing ALL winter long! Wasn’t me going crazy! All the while I was proud of us for spending an entire 11 hours outside doing yard work that Tuesday, Friday I woke up and had a bunch of bumps on my arms. Thought they were bug bites… was scratching and complaining about how “eaten” up I had gotten. Saturday when we went to the festival the “bug bites” got pretty big and seemed to have been spreading, and started to hurt! So when we got home I called the doctor’s office and was able to get in that day.. Come to find out we have Poison sumac, oak and ivy all around this area and I seemed to have gotten one of them! A week later, I am STILL itchy and don’t think yard work is going to be my forte this summer!
The fencing company we’ve hired is really starting to irritate me! They finally started Wednesday, when it was supposed to be Tuesday. They were supposed to finish today, when they didn’t show up and are now saying they are supposed to finish it tomorrow. But with all the rain we had tonight, and the fact they didn’t even FINISH what they were supposed to on Wednesday because of running out of cement, I’m not too confident they will get it done before the weekend is up. I do hope they pick it up and surprise me, so far I’m disappointed in the company and I’m not afraid to YELP it J I will put pictures up soon of the yard work we’ve been doing though!
School is basically over. I took my lab practical and managed a 100% on it giving me a 101% in the class. My lecture was supposed to have two remaining tests but she ended up giving them both as take homes, and so I’m ending that with a very high A as well. I just turned in my final paper for English, so we’ll see how that goes; and my math class if finished in two weeks but that class is really just a pain in my neck and a pass/fail.. She’s not going to fail anyone! I’m basically ready for summer session to start!
Last but not least we went and checked out the YMCA today. I’ve wanted to get a membership somewhere for a while now the treadmill we have is great but it gets old. Although I didn’t want to go to just a regular gym, if we were going to pay the money I wanted it to be something Graysen could enjoy too! So the Y we visited today isn’t too far from the house. They have very nice equipment, an indoor pool, a big outdoor pool, a rock climbing wall, basketball courts and a bunch more. I guess it’s not “HUGE”, but it’s perfect. They have child care and then from there I can take her to do something! Better yet, monthly membership is what I need. I have NO clue what each semester will bring and I don’t’ want to pay for something we won’t use, so it’s nice to know we can “pause” the membership whenever needed! So I’m thinking of getting Graysen into some swimming classes this summer and taking full advantage of what I can!
Hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday, and hope to update on the yard sooner than later!
