Went and saw 'The Other Woman' today with Lauren and Shelby.  We all liked it though it wasn't as funny as we thought it would be.  After, I made a quick stop at Market Basket.

At the Sky Zone.  It is a big warehouse with trampolines.  The girls had a blast jumping and doing flips.

At the Butterfly Place in Massachusetts.  It was pretty cool to be in a room with them flying all around.  One of them actually landed on me

Got to hang out with Sherry at Bethany's wedding shower.  We had a blast.  It was good to see her.

Meanwhile......

Shelby scored her first 3 point basket.  Sadly, I was not there to witness it.  She had a total of 4 baskets for 9 points.  Way to go Shelby!  Coach said I need to stay away....

Between games we hung out at Cydney's house.  The girls raced cars.

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood so I went on a walk.  During my 2 miles I saw very few people.

The Easter bunny left goodies for the kids.  My dad came up from CT and Michael came over and ate with us before he went to work.  I wouldn't let him take his basket so I put all of his candy in a hannaford bag....which he left in his car and the chocolate melted.  Hopefully once he puts it in his fridge it will harden up. 

april 19

We tried out a new hair dresser....this is Jen, one of my members at the credit union.  The person we had been going to kept cutting our hair crooked and she wasn't cutting my hair with the short layers that I like so we gave Jen a try.  We both liked what she did so we will be back again.  I loathe finding a hair dresser so I hope Jen works out.  Besides she has a great sense of humor.

april 18

All done.  I really like how it turned out though not too keen on the blue.  All that matters is my dad likes it.

Shelby's new basketball sneakers came in the mail today.  She couldn't find anything that she liked local so internet shopping it was.

Cleaning out the coat closet.  Got rid of quite a bit of stuff.  If it wasn't worn in the last 6 months I removed it.

How do you get your oldest to visit??  Offer him baby back ribs, one of his favorites.  Didn't get to hear Michael play the drums but him and Matthew played some with their guitars.  Noise in the house, loved it!

Shelby contemplating running...her basketball coaches want the girls to run at home.  This was the 2nd day in a row that she ran 1.5 miles.  She really doesn't like it at all.
