Hello! I haven't had time to catch up, I apologize. We have had the craziest week both at work and home, and I'm only here for a minute or two even now. I hope you all are doing well!
Opening Day was a blast. The morning started a bit rocky with Kyle struggling to get out (even though he was promised he'd be out by 10). We caught the Metro bus at about 11, and made it just in time for the parade. From there, we went to Palomino's for appetizers and a drink (Stella Artois on tap... yum!

) -- half price all day! We went to the ballpark, had seats in the shade (which was such a blessing as I watched everyone else strip down to nothing, wipe sweat all day and dump ice water on their faces .... remember this picture, for just a minute). The Reds had a great game, we had tons of fun, got ice cream afterwards, etc. Fun day!
Fast forward about 50 hours.....
We went to the Reds game last night with a coworker and her husband. IT SNOWED THE WHOLE TIME! 3 hours of a really hard snowfall. It was 25 degrees and 30mph winds when we left. It definitely took me all night to thaw out! I was so tired and literally sore this morning from shivering so much last night, but we had a great time.
I've been working kind of long days and stressing out a bit because we have about 10 extra kids each day for Cincinnati Public School's spring break. We've started a waiting list (even not including these extra kids), are trying to recruit extra nurses like crazy and should have a new center by (hopefully) July 4th -- a far cry from "Early 2008", which was our original plan. I'm making cupcakes as I type for our Easter party tomorrow.
On top of that, I have everyone coming over for Easter lunch/dinner, and Kyle's not going to be here. We're trying to keep the house picked up, clean it Saturday, etc and cook as much as we can ahead of time. I picked up my ham and the rest of our candy for the egg hunt today, so I feel a little better about that. We were going to do the (hideous) yard this weekend, but now it's going to be completely frosted over. We were going to zoo blooms early saturday morning, but I don't think there will be any left! They planted over 90,000 tulips this year.... I think they're probably freaking out right about now.
Phew! Happy Easter if I don't talk to you soon. I hope you all are doing well
