thursday was consignment sale day! mom came down in the morning. after she walked trev to school, i brought my consignment sale stuff in. then at noon i worked out and then mom left. trevor had soccer practice at 545-630; i dropped him off, then brought tova home and once Al was home from work he took her and went to pick up trevor while i went to shop early for the consignment sale. i got most of what i was looking for and spent less than i usually do.

saturday morning trevor had soccer at 8am and it was cold so just i went. then we packed up and headed to mom's for lunch before heading down to new ulm to surprise shane for his birthday. they had a poolside hotel room down there to see family so we got one right next to them. we got into new ulm and did a little touring before we could check in. jodi and the boys checked in shortly after we did and shane came a little later. shane's mom and her husband ron, and jodi's parents came to the hotel for supper and then the kids got to swim. then after the kids were in bed, the adults could hang out in teh pool area which was nice! 

sunday morning we had the continental breakfast, the kids swam again, then we packed up. shane and luke had to leave for flag football practice, so we went with jodi and henrik to see shane's mom, candy's house and then drove out to jodi's parent's farm to meet their goats! it was very windy and chilly so we didn't stay long. 

monday morning was back to work and school for all of us. after school pickup, the kids and i went to pick up my consignment sale check and left over stuff. it was a great sale and i brought very little back home especially clothes and made over $500!

tuesday was the work and school again for all of us.

 wednesday it rained all day. Al left for a conference in stevens point for work until thursday night. i worked out at noon and brought tova with me. trev's first soccer practice got cancelled. wednesday night i got word from jodi that 4 of the daycare kids had puked and tova woke up at 1030 having puked in her bed. she puked so many times throughout the night i lost track; all in her bed so i had to clean her up and change her bedding over 8 times. of course it had to happen the one night Al was out of town. :( it ended up that 7 of the 9 daycare kids at jodi's puked that night. 

thursday morning i did NOT feel well so i kept trev home from school so he didn't spread it or in case he got it (he nor Al ended up getting sick!) tova and i spent most of the day in bed sleeping while trevor made his own meals and "stayed away from us" so he wouldn't get it. he did great. Al made it home about 5 and it was an early bed time. 

friday we felt much better and Trev didn't have school due to easter. it snowed again. mom came down in the afternoon after i cleaned the whole house. we were going to do birthday dinner with matt and jodi for Al's birthday but we didn't chance it with the sickness. so Al decided to order pizza. it was Al's only day off for the week. during naptime, Al and i cleaned out the old volkswagen and put his work stuff into the new one. then moved the old one to the backyard until we sell it so Al can drive the new one. 

saturday morning i worked out at 815, Al worked on his birthday, and mom, the kids and i played. after naptime, unc-o and grandpa neil came down and we played lots of games. then grandpa peter came over. we had our easter dinner/Al's birthday dinner once he was home from work. it was delicious! and he wanted donuts for his cake so we had that for dessert. 

sunday was easter so the kids got their baskets and found their eggs from the easter bunny. we dyed eggs then got to go play outside for a bit before lunch! mom hid the plastic eggs outside for the kids to find again and trev and i played some soccer since his first game is next weekend. mom headed out after lunch. 

monday trevor didn't have school and Al was off work. grandpa peter stopped over after having been in wausau for easter and brought christmas presents from auntie wendy. trevor got a science kit and tova got a dry erase finding kit. Al, Trevor and Tova worked on the science kit for almost 2 hours!

tuesday tova and i went to jodi's to work and have the easter party. it was a little crazy with so many kids but it was fun.

 wednesday Al was back to work, and i had kinsley again. it was still cold and rainy out so we drove to school, and to take kins to her bus. 

thursday was our last day with kinsley. 

friday after school drop off, Al, Tova and i went garage saling for the first time of the season! we didn't find too much but had some fun. i worked out at noon. matt and jodi got back and picked up harley which the kids were very sad about. then at night i went out to eat with cassie and crystal for a mom's night out. jodi met us after volleyball practice too for a drink. we went to thirsty badger for supper and then went to river jams for a drink. both places pretty close to our house and 2 that i'd never been too. river jams is right on the river and they have outdoor music there during the summer. 

saturday morning i worked out then we all headed up to mom's house. after nap we went over to shane and jodi's house and played outside and had a grill out! jodi and i took the kids for a little hike and we stayed until 8pm mostly outside! it was fun! we stayed at mom's house. 

sunday we were supposed to have our cousin Etta's birthday party but she got sick so we went to the minnesota zoo instead with nana, unc-o, and unc-o brought our cousin camden with. it was fun! we mostly just did the inside stuff but it was pretty chilly out. then we had lunch at mom's and trev was tired so we did nap there too before heading home. 

monday morning was back to work for Al, school for trev, and jodi's for tova and me. trev had his last karate after school and then once Al was home, trev and i went and picked up camdyn and chloe and went to the north high school girls softball game right by our house. they were playing river falls and i went to college with one of the coaches and watched her daughter when she was a baby who was on the team. also on the north high team was my old boss from menards' daughter (and my boss was there too; it was good to see her!) jodi came after practice and watched for a bit before we all left because the sun was going down and it got cold. 

tuesday was work, jodis, school and it was still cold out and rainy. at school pickup it hailed on us. i worked out at 530.
