So far this month:
The bedroom project is nearing completion. Since January, we've rearranged furniture (a few times), gotten a new bed and mattress, and have been to Ikea twice (with a third trip planned). This month we moved into Charlotte's room for a week, and I painted our room. It was a busy day moving everything back in to so I could wake up on Mother's Day in my own bed. The kids were looking forward to hanging out with me in the new king size bed. Gabe and Charlotte helped me with the Ikea builds. After my breakfast, Frank and I got right back to work putting together my wardrobe.
The boys are getting computers for their rooms, but they'll take a few more weeks to arrive. That hasn't stopped them from enjoying their monitors (with phones) though.
Gabe has chosen to play the clarinet next year in band, which was a complete surprise (that he wanted to do band at all)! We met with the middle school band teacher, and after trying the trumpet he liked clarinet better. He was so excited to tell everyone and get Frank's clarinet, which he practiced the whole first weekend and then showed off his new skills on Skype. Also, Frank and I tried Zach's trombone. It was hard and I don't think Zach thought it sounded very good!
