Furry Patches

I’m sorry I don’t have any interesting pictures of the kids lately. We’re working hard to get ready for the next baby – laundry, packing, lining up sitters (a very difficult task), buying new supplies, etc. We are also trying to decide on a preschool for Joseph for next year. We have two great options, but in the end, we will probably go with the one that is on Daddy’s way to work, and therefore, much more convenient for Mommy.

Our snow is slowly melting away. We probably have about three inches left in the yard, although some spots are bare. I’ve learned of a new hassle of living in Wisconsin – snow mold. We’ve had a furry patch on our law already. I guess the next step is finding a fix for it. So, speaking of furry patches, the funny thing about the spring thaw is that you find things in your yard that were inadvertently left there before a big snowfall. Some of these things have been there since November, since we haven’t had a complete thaw since then. So far, we’ve found balls, cups, buckets and kids toys, but the latest discovery came yesterday. A dead rabbit. Poor little thing has been buried in snow and ice for maybe months. Things are too snowy and muddy yet to give him a proper burial (ala Barbie and Pepper, the pet rabbits of my youth) so he will probably just go in the trash. Yuck. Aren't you glad I shared that tidbit?
