Kirsi's birthday was a lot of fun, even though it ended up being a pretty small party. Quite a relief for me, actually, because even though I wanted to put in a big effort for her first birthday I was still exhausted from Jim's party. We had a great time watching Kirsi open her presents and decimate her cake. Jimmy had a difficult time understanding that it was Kirsi's party, presents, balloons, etc. which accounts for his crabby face in some of the pics. But she very graciously shared her cake with him and all differences from earlier in the day were forgotten.
The sunshine has been back this week, and temperatures are nearing 70. Hoo! We're all very excited, none more so than Kirsi. Now that she's been out in good weather she demands that we spend at least 80% of our day out in the yard or she gets very fussy. Jim's happy to oblige and I'm enjoying the lounging.
Jimmy only has three more weeks of school! This year has gone by so fast, I just can't believe it. I don't know what we're going to do with him this summer - he doesn't want to do t-ball again. He might like soccer, but I hesitate to get him involved in any long-term activity when we don't know how long it will take to sell the house.
No news on that front. We've had a few nibbles, but no one likes it enough to make an offer. The newly planted yard is looking nice(r) now, although it's a little patchy. Maybe that plus the fact that it's warm enough to open the windows and air out the pet smell will work in our favor.
Other miscellaneous info; we have a frog living in a flowerpot who keeps me up at night. The school district is trying to decide which elementary school gets the ax - Evergreen or Naples. More work is coming in! Finished a new painting. Sophie's still ugly... guess that's it.
