Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... Josh and I are going to take Panda Express to my dad tonight. My mom is in Eagar helping Karen with her kids. When mom is out of town, we always treat him to Panda Express. I can't wait!

2. The truth is... the AIMS test is in 8 (school) days. AHH!! Not enough time to cram!

3. The truth is... Josh and I are going to get our end-of-the-month treat tonight. We are going to Golden Spoon tonight because it is two stamp Tuesday AND we have a coupon that expires on Thursday. We are going to put it in the freezer and eat it on Friday. It won't be as good, except that I can eat desserts again!

4. The truth is... It's shedding season for Jack Jack. Bring on the floor (as well as my clothes) covered with hair. Bleh! I hate being covered with hair. It is worth it for such a cute puppy!

5. The truth is... 42 days! I now think that I am just as bad as the students!

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... My back hurt this morning so bad I wanted to cry. I could barely move!

2. The truth is... I think that I had kidney stones. My back doesn't hurt anymore and hasn't since I used the restroom before class started this morning.

3. The truth is... You don't need 5 vacation days to do something. You only need two, the other three are to relax.

4. The truth is... Josh and I have been trying to not eat sweets the whole month. I accidentally ate something on March 3rd BUT since then I haven't had any. It's been tough, but I THINK I might make it. It has now been 19 days for me. YES! I'm dieing!

5. The truth is... 47 days. I'm sure you can guess what I'm counting down until.

Spring Break

I will admit that it is a little pathetic when the first pictures you take of the year are in March. Oh well. I am also going to apologize that most of them are sideways. My photo editor is no longer on my computer. That is what happens when someone messes with your computer all the time to improve it. Anyway... Spring Break was great! I really wanted to go on a trip somewhere but we couldn't find anyone to watch Jack Jack so we didn't leave. We ended up picking up Josh's little brother and sister and hung out with them for three days. It was a lot of fun. We don't get to see them that often and who knows when we will see them next time since they are moving. We did a lot with them. One of the activities was catching them up on the Harry Potter movies. Megan hadn't seen the fifth, sixth, or first part of the seventh so we did that. We also went bowling. Josh and I have never gone with each other. I know, its been almost seven years and we've never gone bowling. We did have a lot of fun. Josh, of course, won every game. 

I wasn't as bad as I thought I was. Could I have done better. Yes! I can play a lot better on the Wii! Josh got payback for winning all three games; he really hurt the next day.

After Chris and Megan left we went to Home Depot and bought a few things. We bought a new shed to put tools for the backyard in. Josh did most of the work putting it together. I only helped a little. 

Josh next to the shed. He's so proud of it! He cannot wait to find a lawnmower to put in it.

We also got a patio table set for the outside. We set that up also. I'm so excited because now I have somewhere to sit when I just want to go outdoors. I'm also excited to invite some people over for a BBQ. Hopefully it doesn't get too hot too fast!

I found one that I liked for a good price. It is amazing! (I was really picky.)

That's pretty much most of our Spring Break. I also got to relax and did a little bit of sewing. A few weeks ago we went out to my parents house and we built Jack Jack a house for outside. Thanks dad for helping us! It is actually more of a mansion for him. He doesn't go in it much but I think that he will once he gets used to it.

We also played a lot with our little puppy and took him on plenty of walks. Who can deny his cute face? We also discovered his love for chasing birds this week. We actually think he caught one and ate it!

SO CUTE!!!

OH! I almost forgot to mention... we have grass. We don't have a lot yet but its growing. It is all so exciting! I just can't wait until the whole area is covered.

Jack Jack likes to lay in the green parts.

 HAPPY PI DAY!!!!

No, I didn't spell the word wrong. Pi (3.14) is a math number. Since today is March 14th (3/14) it is pi day! In the Hoffman household we are having egg pie for breakfast. What kind of pi are you going to eat to celebrate?

Yes, I am a total math nerd.
