Wade determined late Friday night that we needed a new dishwasher. Wade had replaced a part, we had a repairman, Wade ordered two more parts, and now we have to pick out a dishwasher. I did some online research and then we went to an appliance store. We found a dishwasher we thought we’d be happy with and thankfully it was in stock. We asked about installation and Wade decided to install it himself. When talking to the man we had realized he lived only a mile or so from our house. We asked about delivery and removal (more so we didn’t have to worry about disposal of the old dishwasher). The man offered to just drop the new one off on his way home from work and pick up our old one. Perfect! By the end of the evening I had a new dishwasher.
My kids are all still enamored with the skateboard. Wade and I were dishwasher shopping today and happened to see free one on the side of the road. We stopped and picked it up so the at least we would have two skateboards. The kids (all of them) are still spending quite a bit of time on it trying to learn to ride. I love watching them try to figure it out.
Ben came home and couldn’t wait to show me his artwork from the day. He was so proud of his iPhone 15.
What I want to know is how does he know about iPhone 15s? Nobody at this house even has an iPhone 13.
We woke up to snow today! Enough to cause a two hour delay to the school day. The craziest part is it continued to snow all day. There was never much accumulation on the ground but it was pretty coming down.
The Easter Bunny brought Alex several new dog toys for Pepper. The hope was to find some things she likes to chew to replace her sudden new love of my couch throw pillows. Two of the toys she won’t touch at alls. This elephant I have noticed her carrying around quite a bit. Today she was definitely snuggling with it.
I keep both a grocery list and a BJ’s (our local warehouse store) list ongoing in the kitchen at all times. Anyone can add to it and then when I’m going to one of the stores I just grab the list. Today I was going to BJ’s, but as I was running out the door Ben asked for sushi. (Our store just started carrying sushi a few weeks ago.)
Kaitlyn and Ben love to play outside (when they have used their iPad time). Their iPad time was up, they had eaten dinner, and had about 20 minutes until we needed to leave for swim lessons. They ended up creating a game with bikes and flags and even Alex joined in.
We had a wonderful slow Saturday today. (I know they are coming to an end. I am beginning to get all kinds of emails about spring sports.) The littles watched a few cartoons as soon as they woke up and waited for Teague to get up. He had promised to make Belgium sugar waffles for breakfast. Then the kids did their chores. I had to return the skis we rented for the season and Wade took Ben to a birthday party. The rest of the day the kids played and enjoyed being outside. I did a little prep work for Easter lunch and the littles were quite happy to lick the bowl.
Even with the crazy weather, these two wanted to be outside. They braved the spitting rain and played until the downpour started.
I was signing Ben up for some fall sports (doesn’t it seem crazy early to be doing that?) and they wouldn’t let me finish the registration without uploading a picture. I normally use the digital copy of school fall pictures for this kind of thing. When I went to the folder where I save school pictures, there were no pictures. I have a history of not receiving the emails with the digital pictures but I normally realize it, call the company, and then it gets straightened out. This time, I never thought about it once, and here it is March and I don’t have the pictures from October. I called the company and they were nice enough to email me the pictures.
Teague doesn’t have a picture because he was signed up for a retake and then decided not to turn in his form. Therefore – no picture this fall.
