Wow! Yet another month is flying by! We Klahold's have been LOVING the warmer weather! GOODBYE cold, dreary winter days....HELLO warm, spring sunshine! The kids have been busy playing outside and digging post holes for our new fence. I can not wait for it to be finished. Finally we won't have to worry about the kids and the dogs running out into the street. James is even installing springs on the gates, so we won't have to worry about the gates being left open! Hooray! Many of our neighbors have passed and made the comment.."So, ya making a fence to keep the kids and dogs in." James and I have started messing with them and responding..."Nope, it's to keep the dogs in and the kids out." Seriously, I love messing with people. Their reactions are great! How about starting a conversation about the way the fence looks, or maybe the effort that is being put into the project. Why begin a casual conversation with a question regarding the obvious?! Oh, speaking of home projects, I know everyone knows my severe dislike of Home Depot. Why people shop there I will never understand. Well now there is one less reason to have to enter that nasty, orange hut. LOWE'S accepts Home Depot coupons! In some gross mailing list accident, we received Home Depot coupons. One of them happened to be $5 off of $50. We've been going to Lowe's for lumber each weekend. We have already blown through all of our $ off coupons, so I called Lowe's on a whim and asked them if they would accept H.D's coupon. They will! I love it! Ahhhh! My Lowe's, it never let's me down. In other news....Reid and Hayden are now in the mist of spring football / soccer. Reid has been doing well running drills and catching the ball. He will have his first game the first Saturday in May. We'll keep our fingers crossed. He tends to be a bit tackle happy. It's FLAG football. I just hope he doesn't hurt anyone. (For those of you who haven't seen Reid in awhile he's a 31/2 ft. brick wall!) Hayden has been doing a great job playing soccer. He scored two goals during his most recent game. He absolutely LOVES the sport! During the spring he has training 2 times a week and one game. So far his knee has been doing great with no further signs of swelling. Thankfully the steroid injection has seemed to work! He will be returning to Hershey next week to have the joint checked. Now, Ella on the other hand is well..... a handful! She is constantly into EVERYTHING! Today while reading a extremely brief email from Reid's teacher, she poured liquid soap over the dog. Tonight she ran right through the flowerbed and trampled the newly planted pansies. Oh, did I mention she also emptied an entire tissue box, dumped shredded cheese all over the living room and covered the door knob to the bathroom with yogurt. "Where was her Mother", you ask. IN THE BATHROOM! Yeah, explain again why I want to wake up tomorrow! Here is my new mantra.... "Two will pass, Two will pass, Two will pass" It will, won't it?
