Spring...

Spring means flowers and sunshine, some rain, longer days, etc., etc., right? Wrong. Spring means that it is time to go shopping for a 9th grade formal dress. UGH!!! Mallorie and I spent mother's day at the mall. We were looking for a dress for her 9th grade formal. Sounds like a great mother daughter experience, right? For the first hour and a half, maybe, but by the end of the day when she really needed to get to work and I still hadn't done the week's grocery shopping and she still hadn't found a dress that she love, it was no longer fun.

I'm sure we will find a dress and I'm sure she will look beautiful for her formal, but by the end of Sunday I really didn't care if she went in a burlap sack.

Spring also brings the annual Copper Beech Spring Fair. This event is always held the day before Mother's day. This year it means that I received two goldfish from the fair as a mother's day give (Mallorie and Hannah both had the same idea and both walked in the door so proud of themselves). Tucker has been watching the fish tank and I am suspicious that he is eyeing up what he believes to be fresh sushi.

The weekend was actually quite good as we have almost completed the first of the bedroom makeover/reassignments and Jason, to my surprise, ended up making me a lovely Mother's Day dinner -- cooked a roast with potatoes and carrots and even had an ice cream cake. All in all, a good day.
