spring break day 1

today was officially the first day of spring break.  i slept until 10:30 in MY OWN BED!!! actually i was awakened around 8:30 by two varmints dressed in green, holding light sabers and shouting, "happy st. patrick's day!!!"  dorks!  they were a day early!  i wish i would have actually opened my eyes so i could have seen what they did to their faces!  colby told me later that they had colored their faces green with his markers!!!  maybe there will be a repeat performance in the morning!

today was also a special day because a torch was passed....daryl taught spencer how to mow the yard!  woo hoo!  now i won't feel sorry for daryl on 90 degree mornings and help him mow.  i can just send spencer out there to help him!

this afternoon the varmints and i took our new fishing gear to the neighborhood ponds and tried to catch some fish.  no luck.  i got one bite in an hour.  then some strangers invaded our fishing spot so i was ready to leave.  maybe we'll catch something tomorrow.

i got some happy socks today!  i don't know why, but i ordered these from little missmatched! they are awesome!  they are color-coordinated socks, but they're not matching socks!!!  how fun is that?

something else that made me smile today were these beautiful strawberries!  i made some fruit dip to go with them...yummers!!!!

but the most happiest part of today was that daryl is feeling even better!!!  he actually spent most of the day outside working in the yard.  he took spencer to lunch, and he didn't have to lay down once!  that's such a ginormous improvement for him!  the poor guy has been out of commission for two weeks.  he's tired right now, but he said it's a good kind of tired from actually doing something today! {smile}
