We got home from our spring break trip late Sunday night. Luke and his dad (Papa Q), spent their spring break getting our house ready to put on the market. We were getting new carpet and a new roof that Monday. They painted, packed, and did yard work. Even with all that work, our house was upside down because of the new carpet. This meant everything in all three bedrooms and closets had to be moved to our den/dining room/kitchen area. I spent Monday doing that, grocery shopping, going to play group to see our friends we had missed, and celebrating St. Patty’s day. 
I know I am being a whiny hiney, but coming home from being out of town for a week to this chaos was slightly unnerving. It is no bueno to unload groceries and three kids in this maze. Ok, no more whining!
That night, we had to go to my parents’ because all of our beds were in the den. Kate and Preston enjoyed playing with the play-do that came from Audrie!
And just like that, she went to bed as a four year old…

And woke up 5. Five. I cannot believe it. She loves to say, “Mama! I am a hand full!”
Of course, the day before she reminded me how excited she was the Happy Birthday banner would be at KK’s. It was still at Eden’s from the Frozen party. NBD.
And the day before at the grocery store when I begged her to let me buy store bought cupcakes…nope. We had these yummy things whipped up for school.
Preston, “Look! Im a bed with feet!”
We went to dinner at her choice, El Po. 
And they did her favorite thing…sing! I didnt get a pic of my side of the table with Granny T, Luke, and Uncle Brett!
Kate found one clown topper for Megan’s cupcake. She said, “I really want to freak Meme out!”
The rest of the week we spent trying to get out house back in order/packed to get it on the market and for our guests.
Papa Q and Ninabelle came Saturday and brought a big girl bike! She took off and has been on it everyday since! Unfortunately, I had strep and spent the day in bed…which also meant the meal and birthday dessert I had planned was still in the fridge when I emerged the next day. No time for sickness!
This sweet boy doesnt like to sleep. He sure is happy though!
This perfectly sums up how we all feel in the morning. I am on Kate’s side of the happy scale.
Grammy got to town about 2 oclock on Monday. She spent her whole spring break with us! We got to celebrate her birthday, Kate’s, and got some more house things done.
I spent Tuesday doing this (see next post!):
PopPop came into town on Wednesday!
Birthday presents from Aunt Kelly and Uncle Bucky!
Sam doesnt have a chance...
That was the beginning of crazy week after spring break…our spring continues to get crazier!
The spring came suddenly,
bursting upon the world
as a child bursts into a room,
with a laugh and a shout
and hands full of flowers
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
