Things On My Mind: 7QT

1. First off, I am thinking about C and his first week of "school." Because it was the Letter M week, there were muffins and monkeys. He spent Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday telling me about the monkeys jumping on the bed and the monkeys swinging in the tree teasing Mr. Crocodile. He asked to have muffins yesterday and I obliged because he told me that "M is for Muffin."

Yesterday he was so excited to go back. He did so well. They did more monkeys and more muffins and he was thrilled. It warms my heart listening to his reports on what they did. His excitement is contagious and his eyes are lit with a passion for learning in a way I've never seen before.

M and I came home on Tuesday and read books, sang songs, opened a Christmas present that she was given that was for age 6 month. It was a glorious time. Today we went to Walgreens and then home for some snuggles.

Yes. I think I am going to like school.

2. I am thinking about Nepal. My cousin and her husband lived in Nepal working for the embassy until the 14th. They just left. That's crazy to think about. So many lives. So much more unknown. The aftershocks are expect to last for a long time too.

3. I am thinking about Baltimore. Husband was just there for business. He ate in restaurants that have been looted. Because of the industry he works for, he spoke with the owners of those restaurants. I can't possibly understand the hurt that the people feel but I also know in my heart there are better ways to deal with the pain than destroying property.

4. I am thinking about Grey's Anatomy. *Spoiler Alert* They killed McDreamy. I haven't been watching this season, more because of the 7:00 start time and less because I haven't wanted to. But boy am I glad I missed this. I will probably watch this horrific season when it is on Netflix but it is somehow better when you don't wait a week between tragedies.

5. Today is May Day! We made and delivered 2 baskets to our friends. Due to car seats and the speed at which one can get in and out of them, we we're sneaky and hung the baskets from the door handles. Then after we were back in the car sent text messages that said "Knock Knock! Check your door!" We were not caught! Which made it super fun for the resident nearly 3 year old.

6. He really is nearly 3 now. It's birthday month. It's also everything else month. May is a busy one folks.

7. Tomorrow is Kentucky Derby. My favorite! In other sports news, Go Wild! Beat the Blackhawks!

Happy Weekend People! Linking up with Kelly.
