Update

I am not sure when the last time I sat here and just wrote about what has been going on.  The last post of my was about Zeus.  I did not tell you how the kids have been handling it.  Not good at first.  Both Ethan and Noah have grown up with Zeus.  Ashleigh was 4 when we got him.  Noah was almost one.  Zeus was 11 when we lost him.  It has gotten a little easier for them, but they still miss him.  There is times where one of them or me will call Bolt Zeus and then we miss him all over.  Noah and I will be working on the memory box once I order ink (cheaper on Amazon). We need to find a poem to add. We have the last 2 collars we had for him. A paw print which Zeus didn't want me to do so it looks like a heart. Noah wants it in the memory box. 

I got Ashleigh into a study on Autism and horseback riding.  It just started this past Thursday.  We will see how it goes.  Ash loves to ride.  She has been riding since she was 5. It's hard to believe how Ashleigh has grown up. 

Ethan is making his First Communion in May.  I have everything I need for him, but dress shoes.  Ethan and I have lots to do for his big day.  Like decorate a candle and do his banner, which we do not get until April.  He has his First Reconciliation in March and Jesus Day in April. We are having a small party, which I wanted it to be on May 14, which is Mother's Day. So, I a, having it the day before. 

I am not sure if I said how Noah's soccer season went.  They were 13-2-2.  The boys did great.  We are looking forward to the season in the fall. I have to register the boys for red soccer by tonight.  I want to make sure Ethan wants to do this before I pay for it. 

It has been pretty warm over the last 2 weeks.  Then, it got very freezing with snow.  I think the bushes outside are confused since they have buds on them.  I bet they were not happy with the snow we had on Saturday.  Now it's in the 40's. Tomorrow is 59. Then Wednesday is 63. Thursday is 37. Friday is 34. Saturday is 45. Sunday is 59. Yoyo weather we are having. I hope it is still that warm on Sunday so I can take he boys to the soccer field. 

I am excited that I got a new laptop and now I can be mobile.  I was stuck at my desk tied to the outlet because my battery is bad.  I took the battery out of that laptop and it is at another desk for Ethan to use with his own screen name.  The only thing I have to do is set up parental controls! I am thinking of taking it for a tune up and a new battery. 

Yesterday I cleaned the basement. I got rid of 3 boxes. Found the craft table!!! I reorganized the craft room. I had the habit of just putting things like 👀 in more than 1 spot. So when Ethan wanted to make penguins 🐧 I had to go buy  or search for them. I have a lot now. Glue sticks, gorilla glue, tacky glue, Modpodge, and wood glue are all together. Of course I did too much so my back has been killing me. I should had stopped way before I did but the new washer is coming Tuesday. The basement had to be cleaned. I now want to paint, but I can't move well.
