April Part III

I have to close my eyes to what is behind me, look at the screen, to keep up.  There is always something to clean, something else that could distract.  Right now it is my goal to catch us up!
April felt like it was yesterday and somehow it's months away.  Summer is quickly approaching the end and school is about to start again in 3 weeks for us.  Let's get back to April.  I like that better!

 April was unusually warm with weather in the high 80's, a couple of times in the 90's.  The day we came back from Idaho where we had recently put on jackets, we were back in shorts.  Our garden took off with strawberries ripening all over the places.  The peaches were coming in nicely
You sit down mama, I drive!
 We allowed the kids to have 2 gold fish that Debrie brought home from a school's science experiment, which turned into 6 fish because naughty little brother kept putting things like bubble juice inside the tank and killing them off.  One time Debrie changed the tank's water and filled it up with hot/warm water.  Finally we are on the 3rd set of golfish and these are still alive as of August.  They've lasted 3 months now so we are hopeful.

 Mother daughter date - My girls are old enough now that they request mother daughter dates.  Just a few more years and we could look like siblings.  I remember that stage with my mother
I took them to an artist loft
Including these to show the kids when they read our blog what others think of them since I don't let them read Facebook posts.

 We painted the Seattle view at night with other artists

 Jeff, Dan's brother pointed out that the APRON they had me wear is a bit risque.  I HAD NO IDEA!!! HAHAHAHA:) :)




 Can I just say he is so yummy with all of his arms rolls???!!!!


 Our ward had a scouts camp fundraiser 5k race.  I did the race and the family came at the end to cheer (or more like to play at the park).  Not really much of a race since 5k is about what I run at the gym but still at fun activity.

 Remember I mentioned 90 degrees weather?  So a lemonade stand was a hit!  I made cookies, we had mints to give away and the girls made $18 in lemonade with their friends
 We had my brother in law's sister and her boyfriend over for a bbq.  She had just recently moved up to the area so we thought we'd give her a warm welcome
 After dinner we took them to Snoqualmie Falls.  BTW here is a comparison of the Fall in the rainy winter months vs. the dryer summer/early Fall months



 We did the 1 mile hike down to see a gorgeous view at night
 And that's all for April!  Phew!!!
