No Pictures

I haven't posted for several weeks so I thought I'd just include a little of what we have been doing.

• We had a very mild winter so the last couple of weeks it has been trying to catch up.  Rain, snow, cold, and wind.  You name it and we've had it.  Yesterday we went to the Spokane Temple for Stake Temple day.  It was 12 degrees and with the wind chill it was 3 degrees below zero.  Today in priesthood the young men said they went skiing yesterday and the wind chill at Silver Mountain was 30 degrees below zero.  Spring, where are you?
• We went to the temple yesterday and enjoyed the session.  Afterwards we went to IHOP and used Aunt Tami's Christmas gift card.  We then drove to Post Falls where Kimbre cut Mom's hair and we visited they them and then over to Kevin and Lisa's to visit some more.  The temperature rose 13 degrees on the way home.  The arctic front hit Post Falls but missed Moscow.
• I'm trying to get this years projects started and running smoothly at work for the new guy.  Don't know who he will be but I want to leave things in good shape for him.
• This week we are going to e-mail out an invitation to my retirement party.  We are inviting FM guys, some stake and ward people, come contractors, and family.  I tried to keep it small but we just kept adding more.  I have received some very nice e-mails from friends, co-workers, and contractors.
• Tomorrow starts the last month of my employment - 21 more working days.  I'm a little apprehensive about it but looking forward to going to bed on Sunday evening and not having to "gear up" for work on Monday morning.  I've got a list a mile long of things I want to do.  We'll see how long it takes me to decide to do them.

Hope you all have a great week.

Dr Seuss' Bday party!

 We decided it was a good excuse to party for Dr Seuss' birthday.  So we made some hats to really get in the mood.

 Added some custom Dr Seuss food: bow tie noodles for Cat in the Hat, Green eggs and ham (no not green ham, many said they wouldn't eat if it was colored), cheese tree (Fox in Socks), and one fish two fish, red fish blue fish and some strawberry/banana hats that looked like the Cat in the Hat hat.

 It was a hit, and then we watched The Lorax and Horton Hears a Who with treats of little gummy eggs, green licorice, and Hop on Pop(corn).  It was a fun night and hopefully a memory!

Then Saturday we got busy on the tiling of the bathroom.  It's slowly coming together.  We decided on a rich yellow for the walls, we got half the shower  tiled, and the vanity should be done by next week!  So if we're lucky by the end of March we'll have a functioning bathroom!  

For Webelos one night we were working on the Artist pin and we had to do silhouette drawings.  Luckily we knew an artist that came and helped us out.  The boys had fun doing these!  Anyone else remember doing these?
