Why is it that life gets so much busier when warm weather hits? I guess we just all are ready to come out of hibernation. Although, I must admit, I haven't been out of the house much BUT--everyone around me is SO busy!

Adair's boys are all three playing baseball this Spring. Sam is in Little League, Luke, Coach Pitch, and my sweet little Babe is in T-Ball. I think Sam plays just for the social aspect of the game. Luke, well he is the most competitive 7 year old boy I have ever known. LOVES baseball and he is such a good little athlete. He understands the game as well as loves it. Then there's Babe (aka, Gabe). Gabe, at the ripe old age of 4, thinks the game is all about him. He runs from home plate to first base looking at us on the bleachers and waving away! Whenever he makes his away around to home, same thing, he is looking at us with a big smile on his face and waving. He is SO much like his mother at that age, just out to make everyone smile! The one thing that may keep him from going too far in baseball is he doesn't like to get his hands (or, any other part of his body) dirty. Again, he is his mom's boy! Saturday, we will go to three baseball games and Cole's soccer game. Cole is hot and cold: if he has a good game, he LOVES soccer; if he has a bad game, he doesn't like soccer so much. His dad played soccer thru high school but, I'm not so sure that Cole is planning on following in his dad's footsteps. Time will tell. Who knows, they may all end up as ballet dancers!

Spring is trying to settle in but the cold weather keeps creeping back in. This has been a chilly week, in the 40's. Tomorrow and Saturday we are supposed to have 70 degree temps--a real heat wave! Our grass is beautiful, bright green and lush. We still have until Memorial Day to officially open the pool and, that will be after running the heater for several days. Summer will be here before we know it.

Allen is having surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff on the 29th. Please pray for ME. He is not such a good patient. The man never sits still--stops at night when it is time to go to bed. He will NOT sit still long enough to recuperate. And, he will be impatient and testy. Oh, well. It won't last forever. Allen has cared for me after 12 surgeries in as many years and several serious illnesses and he is an excellent caregiver. I will try to repay him in as kind a manner as possible. It will be good to have some time here at home to spend with him.

Anyone watching American Idol? I don't think this year is as loaded with talent as some preceding years have been. I'm thinking the final two will be Adam Lambert and Gokey with Allison in the final three. Did you hear the 47 year old lady from Britain who sang on the talent show there? Brought tears to my eyes. I heard today that she is working on signing a deal with Simon Cowell. I hope he can find a slot for her as she has a voice that truly brings tears to my eyes.

I have stocked up on lots of good supplies for card making. I have an order coming from Paper Trey Ink this week. If you haven't looked at that site, it is a must---www.papertreyink.com. There is so much inspiration on that site and an excellent design team. AS soon as this order comes in, I have promised myself to sit in my scrap room next week and make cards. I have more than enough supplies to make some beautiful cards. My next purchase will be to update to the Cricut Expression. Just waiting for the right price. Anyone know who has the best deal?

I am going to settle down now and hope to get to sleep before 2am. Hope you are all out enjoying the nice weather!
