It's been a busy household the last few weeks. Holy week is a very busy time for Jon, so my job is to make sure he gets fed and out of the house on time every night during that week and do what I can to make his life easier. There have been lots of fundraisers and meetings in the last few weeks between doctor appointments and grocery runs and church activities and a couple of dates. (When you have free babysitting, you can't pass up a date night.)

I've been working on freezer meals. I don't have a ton, but a good number to get me going anyway. The kids and I made some brownies and I froze some of those, too. I've been trying to declutter a bit and organize the house, though I'm not sure how much I've accomplished. I went through the freezer and inventoried everything. I'm also in the middle of the winter/summer clothing switch, which makes for extra bins and piles sitting around until it gets hot.

I moved Leah into the boys' room a couple weeks ago to get her adjusted in there. It's going just fine. Despite her constant jabbering for up to an hour after she goes to bed, the boys are tired enough to sleep through it. I hauled some baby stuff out also. My mom is coming to repaint the baby's room this weekend, so I have that taped up and our room has acquired extra stuff. It will be nice to have that done so I can start organizing the baby stuff a bit.

Jon has been able to spend a day here and there outside. He's got a few things planted in the garden. We're getting some much-needed rain right now, so this weekend is probably out for planting anything else.

May 15 is our scheduled date for baby to come, so we're just under 4 weeks. Since Leah was 3 weeks early, I'm trying to be ready at any time. I even have the kids and myself semi-packed. The boys are losing patience waiting for this baby. I think they'll be happy when they can actually see baby. Ben is quite adamant it should be a girl. Finn doesn't seem to care either way. Leah will just be happy to have her own baby all the time. And so we wait.
