Let’s Go For A Walk

One of my latest goals is to get myself back into some decent form of shape, so I’m walking as much as I can. We have a great walking track in our town, and the little kids are happy to go along for a stroll too.

We walked last Thursday, and it was chilly, and it looked like it could rain at any second. I let Dylan carry his umbrella around the track, he was so happy.

The Little Miss doesn’t mind the wind though, she loves to ride along in her stroller.

I’m looking forward to next week, and I hope to make it to the walking trail at least 5 times. I don’t know if the weather is going to let me though.

The Trolley Ride

We wanted to surprise Dylan for his birthday, and one of his very favorite things about his hometown is the Trolley. We thought it would be cool to take him, and the entire family for a little tour, and it was a blast.

It was a rainy cool day, but Dylan couldn’t wait to board the Trolley.

Our moms made it just in time.

James, Agnes, and Dylan shared a seat.

I sat by Mr. Thade.

The Trolley ride is almost an hour long. You get to tour the town, and learn about the history of Ft. Scott.

There are a lot of neat sights to see,

and I always learn something new on every tour I take.

048

I love viewing the homes,

050

and businesses from the Trolley’s windows.

053

The trees were just starting to bloom,

0551

and we passed a few of my favorite homes in town.

Dylan loved the trolley ride too, and so did the grandmas. It was such a fun day to spend with my family, and to celebrate a sweet little guy’s birthday too.

I’ve Got Spring Fever

Yesterday the weather was amazing, so we got out of a few errands. We ran to a local shop to look for lawnmowers, and they just happened to have adorable baby chicks, ducklings, and baby bunnies too. I also spotted so many items that I want to add to the garden.

Today the weather is chilly, and dreary, so I am looking at paint chips to spruce up the indoors. Maybe if we get a few little projects done it will chase away these Winter blues.

So how is the weather in your neck of the woods today? Do you have lovely Spring temps, or is Winter still sticking around?

The Cold Carries On

A little over two weeks ago, Dylan and I were sick with an icky cold. Not too fun, but we are both on the mend.

James caught the cold this week too, and now the cold has found it’s way to Thade.

0113

He has a sore throat, bad cough, and aches too.

And Agnes has also had the cold for a solid week. She was also re-cutting 2 teeth at the same time, so it was a double whammy.

0016

She is still sick this morning, and it’s been the icky-messy kind. I really hope they all feel better soon…

There Are A Few Things I Like

Earlier I posted a long list of dream house wishes, so I thought I would share a few of my favorite spots in our home. That way my house doesn’t get jealous, because I’m neglecting it with my silly dreams and wishes.

Our house was built in 1905, and we are on a block where most of the homes were built in the late 1870’s. I’ve heard that the original court house in town burned in 1905, and all of the original records were lost. Our house might be a bit older. Our house is also a work in progress, we have been painting and working on projects for about five years now. I have so many projects that I would love to accomplish, if I only had an extra eight hours every day.

I love our stairway, but I feel this insatiable urge to paint every square inch of it.

0014

You see my desk is tucked under the stairway and I get to see all of these pretty little details, but I think they would just pop a bit if they were painted.
