The Weekend

Nothing too much to report - we took advantage of a free weekend and got some projects done! Chris has started to build our new table and chairs. I'm excited for the option to work outside and the chairs are really comfortable. 

Heidi has been driving more and more and is becoming very confident with it. She literally drove everywhere on Saturday and on Sunday even drove all the way downtown. She is ready to have her license for sure.

Random school project for Lucy!

Sunday we took advantage of a sale and decided to mulch! It was cold, but we got it done after a few hours. Glad that is over. Next up is finish taking out the old basketball pole - we need a jack hammer to do it!

Even the dogs got cold...

 This weekend is still not super busy, which we love, but bring on Spring!

The Eclipse!

Around Cleveland - we have been hearing non-stop about this eclipse and being in totality. We have all seen some kind of eclipse and was just thinking it would be like one of those times - it actually turned out to be very cool. We lucked out on a seriously perfect day, no clouds, and great weather! Our neighbors had us over for the afternoon and it was seriously PERFECT. They grilled burgers, made nachos, and had all sorts of sun/moon/star themed treats.

My pictures can't do the eclipse any justice but the temp dropped significantly, it got dark like night, bugs became active, their dog hid, and we could see at least 2 planets! I don't know if I would travel for an eclipse in the future, but so happy we took part in the whole afternoon for it! 

The gas station pic is from Heidi's boyfriend. The teenagers were definitely the best at getting a decent picture!

We knew it was a fun event when the kids actually wanted to hang out and watch it. 

Totality - once again - pictures don't capture it!

And then back to reality with my extremely sexy husband... 

Fun dinner out...

I couldn't take any pictures during but we enjoyed Nicholas being Aladdin in St Jude's play! It was very cute and fun to watch! 

Our local ice cream place is open already and they have dole whip!

Sunday I went shopping with the girls...

And we had GREAT weather - so we took a walk but it was too long for Mr. Remy.

One last picture of Jenn trying to read her watch with the glasses on - too funny...

 

Volleyball

I gave Lucy my phone this weekend at the volleyball tournament and now have WAY more action shots of Heidi. We traveled to outside of Dayton for the weekend and the girls played well. Every game went to 3 sets and we were not on the winning side of very many games, losing by 2 points almost always but it was still fun to watch! Heidi had many kills and TONS of serves with aces but our favorite part is her going up against a middle blocker for a joust - little Heidi versus a girl with 6 inches on her and Heidi WON and kicked her ass! The fans went wild and I wished I had it on video. One more month of volleyball for club!

Our fun, young coaches...

The sound and slowness of the tournament gets to all of us... Our court was a good hour behind...

The sleeping princess

Riley, her buddy, trying to hype her up! ha

Hotel sleeping sucks

It was a fun weekend - Today is the last day of spring break for the girls and the solar eclipse! Then it is back to normal!
