The Bradfords are in bloom, which are simultaneously very pretty and very smelly. But the whole neighborhood is in bloom, which on one hand looks marvelous - but on the other can either:
a) smell bad
b) irritate your eyes
But they look quite nice. It's fine when driving down the main strip of our neighborhood, watching all the trees in bloom, covered in white flowers that remind Madison of snow. But you have to have the windows rolled up, and the air on recycled inside!
Tonight we had a first: Madison skyped with Nana and Ba-Ba down in Florida, who had Mommy's brother George and his family there. That was a mouthful. It's basically Madison's Uncle George and his family. Madison hasn't really talked with them before, as we just haven't had as much time - but this conference call was pretty cool. Madison was shy initially, but soon enough she was dragging over paper bag puppets and showing off various toys.
It was ballet night, of course. We did that at Brenau as always, and got our summer camp information. Now's the time to start booking all these summer camps - we had art camp last year, and of course there is Summer Xtreme. There's a tennis camp coming up, and there's the ballet camp as well. Lots of camps, and then vacation in there somewhere - all this adds up to an active summer. But we have to do the arranging now, making sure there's no overlaps on the calendar.
We played some games today, and ate ourselves a pizza too. The weather is cold at night, but beautiful during the day. We were able to go to ballet without worrying about jackets, a first for the year. However, things are due to dip into chilly territory next week again, if you can believe that. The forecast is supposed to dip into subfreezing territory once more. Last year about this time, it got cold again - I remember the only snow we got last year was after the first day of spring. So perhaps this is a new trend. Who knows?
We read with Madison from our Little Princess Bible tonight, reading about Ruth and Boaz. And soon after, it was time for bed once more. It was a later night, due to the conference call. As mentioned earlier, everyone's been a bit tired lately. So, as Madison asks, "Is it grown-up bedtime too?" Yes, Madison. It is.
Before turning in for the night, here's our joke of the day:
Q: What kind of man was Boaz before he got married?
A: Ruth-less!
a) smell bad
b) irritate your eyes
