What I'm reminiscing about...
The Masters is next weekend so I always think about our friend Brad and now my Uncle Robert, both of whom aren't around anymore. Dave and Brad would always exchange a few text messages during this weekend, and Robert and I would message each other about whoever was doing well, last year it was Freddie Couples.
What I'm loving...
Canadian music lately. We really have quality stuff up here. The Junos were on Sunday but I just watched them now. So impressed with the new artists and some memories of my childhood (Barenaked Ladies, an impromptu performance of Northern Touch).
What we've been up to...
Playing some hockey in the basement. Q loves going down there and carrying the hockey sticks and balls around, playing basketball, or throwing the bouncy balls.
What I'm dreading...
Soccer/T-ball season. I mean, it will be great fun for E but it means lots of juggling pick ups and dinnertimes for us.
What I'm working on...
Dave and I are working with E on his reading and spelling. He has a spelling test on most Thursdays so we practice the words all week long. We are using the Razz Kids app for reading. It has a cost but we are splitting it with a friend. It has a lot of the levelled reading books in English and French. He needs more practice on the reading, but this app is helping.
What I'm excited about...
We got our taxes done this week, so the refund will be exciting when it comes in!
What I'm watching/reading...
We are watching Fargo, Season 2, Wild Wild Country, Workin' Moms, and This Week Tonight.
I have a book on the go, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but it hasn't really caught my attention yet. I'm still waiting for one of my library holds to come in, but that may take awhile so I'll try to find something else soon.
What I'm listening to...
Michael Jackson on Spotify. E's music teacher has played some MJ songs for them and he loves it. We heard "ABC" the other day, and E says, all serious, "this is when he sang with his brothers". Inspired by this MJ love, we have also been listening to some Bruno Mars.
What I'm wearing...
I think I can safely get my spring coat and shoes out, and maybe (?) put the winter coats and boots away. I always love cleaning out the front closet and bringing down the flip flops and baseball caps.
What I'm doing this weekend...
All of the Easter things.
What I'm looking forward to next month...
Hopefully some warmer weather, getting the bikes out, starting to run again, and some Blue Jays games.
What else is new...
Q has moved to the Toddler Room at the daycare now. He transitioned with no issues, just like his brother before him.
What is your favourite Easter tradition?
I have always enjoyed the egg hunt on Easter morning. Even the parents can get in on the fun when the eggs are hidden in their shoes or by the coffee maker. And then you get to bring a few with you to church in your pocket.
