Photo Every Hour: April 21st

Let's not talk about the fact that there were snow showers on April 21st, mmkay?

7:00 Nothing like breakfast followed by some early morning letter practice

8:00 See those white pipes in the corner? That's our radon mitigation system. What you can't hear is the sound it makes when the motor is going out. Tidying up quick before the technician comes to fix it!

9:00 The school does an ABC countdown to the last day of school (A is for animal day--wear a shirt with an animal, L is for lollipop day--get a lollipop at school, etc) so because it had been a bit of a rough year for the admin, I did a grownup ABC countdown for them. Let's just say A was for Amaretto and leave it at that

10:00 Chutes and Ladders with my favorite 5 year old while waiting on the radon tech guy

11:00 Still at home... still waiting on the radon tech guy (spoiler--he never showed)

12:00 Seriously. It's practically the end of April. Get with the program Mother Nature

1:00 Living his best life with Octonauts and gym shorts and a t-shirt (just don't point out to him that it's snowing outside...)

2:00 A busy afternoon calls for prepping dinner early!

3:00 Knowing that puberty would be a conversation topic at his well visit, William wanted Daddy--not Mommy--to be there with him, so I dropped him off right after school and then headed...

4:00 to the library with his brothers (less Garrett because William was okay with Garrett being at the appointment as well) to pick up some books we had requested (and inevitably find more books on the shelves that we wanted to take home) (PS Yes, Connor is reading a chapter book and yes, it is so much fun to see him clear that hurdle into independent reading)

5:00 The boys realized they could thread string through the Perler bead creations they made at Grandmom's and Granddad's waaaay back in November, and boy were they ecstatic

6:00 Tackling and laundry. Pretty much a constant in these monthly posts

7:00 Swim lessons tomorrow calls for muffins to snack on!

8:00 We most certainly do not have a book problem in this house. Nope. No problem whatsoever

9:00 Trying to do good about making time for exercise... But unfortunately the efforts are usually few and far between

10:00 Also trying to do better about drinking less alcohol in the evening and trying to get in the habit of turning to tea instead (especially when the weather is cold and miserable), but I promise you that we were still up entirely too late even though I didn't remember to take a picture of what time we went to bed so I can't say for certain
