<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I have to say</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think this party turned out fabulously!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The girls all got along it was simple and quick</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">no chaos (compared to the boys nerd wars!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Love it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we stayed with her the whole time and since I didn't have a car she and Laura were kind enough to take me wherever </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">they even drove me home!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">she decorated them</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and they had a very specific order</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">there was NO changing the order and maybe doing 2 silver in a row</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">that simply would not do</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the 3 of us headed to the game after the hunt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">when the boys were done we grabbed lunch then loaded into the car and head south</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">stopping for a treat at one of our favorite spots</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">they have great milk shakes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I guess I should add the stopping at the drive-thru was reward for being awesome while dad looked at bikes for over an hour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">now technically the bike was for me but we all know who really wanted to look at bikes </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">had a feast for lunch then had to head home</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">it was a whirlwind weekend but so worth it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">on the way home we took the ferry my favorite!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and grabbed dinner from Ivars</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We ate dinner on the boat which was awesome</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">you'd think from this post is that all we do is eat out</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">not true </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but we sure did enjoy the splurge!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">when the sun comes out in the northwest</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">you go outside</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and you stay there until the rain comes back</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">which it will in any season</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but spring is the most unpredictable</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">my tulips were beautiful this year </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i never made it to the festival</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i was going to go with a friend</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but i couldn't go when she could and visa versa and the month just went by and I never made it</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so sad </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">they have been around awhile</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">she started wearing them way before they fit and now they are almost too small</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and as my dad says we might need to have them bronzed </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">they are falling apart </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have wanted to do this for at least a year</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so spring break wad the perfect time to get it done!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9icy5FXCK98/U1HdkmmwwsI/AAAAAAAAPVc/0ZkgIfZG4Hc/s1600/IMG_3624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9icy5FXCK98/U1HdkmmwwsI/AAAAAAAAPVc/0ZkgIfZG4Hc/s1600/IMG_3624.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Eric said it was white</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">it's not</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">it's Whispering Spring!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">which is a super light blue</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I picked this color last year and loved it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but never had the time and money to actually paint</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I bought a sample size and Alex helped me up it on the wall</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"IT'S white" says Eric</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so the next day I went back to the store and brought home</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">at least 15 more color cards</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and asked him which one he liked</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">he told me he didn't care and to do what I wanted</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Whispering Spring it is!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we got the room all done</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">then laid down on the bed looked up and discovered </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the ceiling now looked brown </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">well sand color anyways</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So back to the store for more paint!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">did you know there are at least 50 colors of white?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">including the color that was already on the ceiling</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but I ended up buying Chantilly Lace </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">since he rarely wants his picture taken</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i was happy to take a few shots</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we moved Tyler up a level so that he and Alex could play together and so that Eric could coach them both!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It has taken me awhile to write this post</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and I will probably cry while writing it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but just over 3 weeks ago we said goodbye to our most faithful friend</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am not going to say a lot</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">some people don't understand the love you can have for a pet</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but if ever there was a lovable, faithful, companion</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">George was</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q5fxgrYja4Q/U0S5iQtu4PI/AAAAAAAAPRA/8N3woxy5FcA/s1600/_MG_9198.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q5fxgrYja4Q/U0S5iQtu4PI/AAAAAAAAPRA/8N3woxy5FcA/s1600/_MG_9198.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">he stayed by my side for 15 and a half years</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">he loved me</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kXiLujTj5W8/U0S5iGZ0urI/AAAAAAAAPQ8/abHZflokgZo/s1600/_MG_9333.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kXiLujTj5W8/U0S5iGZ0urI/AAAAAAAAPQ8/abHZflokgZo/s1600/_MG_9333.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but it he was suffering and even though it was one of the hardest thingsI've ever done</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">with Eric's help I carried him to the car and let him go</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FvC-ci6VAhA/U0S5js4iZkI/AAAAAAAAPRQ/PpwVVUZJ8ak/s1600/_MG_9362.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FvC-ci6VAhA/U0S5js4iZkI/AAAAAAAAPRQ/PpwVVUZJ8ak/s1600/_MG_9362.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">he will be missed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we still expect to see him around the house </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and it has been very weird for me to not having underfoot all the time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We love you George!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Apparently that statement is embrassing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we can't say these things in a public places like the school drop off</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">His birthday was actually 2 weeks ago </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so I'm slow </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">hey! we can't be perfect all the time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">his Grandma and Grandpa Johnston came up and took him out of school and to lunch on Friday</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I didn't get a picture of them with him</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(bad mom)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">afterwards they hung around with Ms. Grace and made Easter bunnies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(actually that was Grandma I don't know what Pop did)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">they stayed for dinner then came with us to Alex's clarinet choir recital</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(no picture of that either, I really am doing bad these days)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">His actually birthday was Saturday and we have an official teenager (scary)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">that day he had his wrestling finals in Anacortes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think he liked wrestling </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">sometimes its hard to tell the difference between like, hate and total indifference</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The other kids were home so we took Jared to a late lunch at one of my favorite places!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">he liked it too</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">then he came home and crashed....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">he had to be at the middle school at 5:45am</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">it was hard this year the things he wanted are getting to be out of our general budget </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we got him a couple of small things book, gift card, candy...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">then we went 1/2's on a new to him mountain bike</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">both he and Eric agree its totally awesome so I'll say its totally awesome too!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">done!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">not perfect or very decorative</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but we got rid of broken books </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">boxed up the 1-3 grade readers for another time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and thrifted the books no one liked or wanted</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and now happily they all fit on the shelf</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">maybe I will be inspired to make it look more decorative someday with cute toys etc</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but today is not that day</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">March is off to a good start!</span>Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02901083915532159633noreply@blogger.com1
