Things keep rolling along here.  The resort has now closed and off season for JR is officially here.  It is nice for him to have a little bit of flexibility in his schedule.

We had a quiet Easter.  We went to church early for their breakfast and then church.  We went out to eat last minute with some friends...to the truck stop.  I never would have imagined Easter dinner at a truck stop, but it was fun.  As we were leaving the table, Jacob put his left over food in a container.  Joseph wanted to take his french fries home.  I told him to put the french fries in with Jacob's food.  Joseph did not want that.  So what does he do...he un tucks his shirt and creates a pocket with his shirt and puts all the fries in it.  Sometimes my boys amaze me with their improvision and other times I just shake my head in disbelief.

The boys did not hunt eggs and none of them even asked about it.  I had made the decision that I did not want to hunt eggs because it was all candy.  If I put money in the eggs, then they just go to the dollar store and buy candy.  The more I stay away from sugar, the more I see how it is truly a drug and your brain reacts to it the same way it does hard drugs.

The working out is continuing to go well. I have 2 more weeks left on the 12 week eating plan.  The scale has been slower to move, but seeing some body composition changes.  I am having mobility issues with my mid back and left shoulder.  My coaches have a great relationship with a local PT and he periodically provides free movement screenings for the athletes.  They hooked me up yesterday.  I think the PT was surprised how tight I was through my thoracic spine.  He could not really figure out what was going on with my shoulder, but it was really tight too (although he said the rotator was totally fine).  He gave me some good stretches.  One of these days I will be able to properly lift things above my head and to do a hand stand push up!

Anyone know what this is....

The newest toy...a fidget spinner.  You hold the middle with two fingers and spin, spin, spin it.  I am amazed how much time they can play with these.  It is suppose to keep hands occupied, which it does but the teachers find it distracting ~ ha.

I was going through some recent pics JR took with his phone and found some of this kid, when he went to work with dad.



Looks like he does great work!

Always gets a nap on the way home...

Looking forward to continued warmer weather!

Fidget Spinner? William was playing with his when I was out to visit over Easter. He could hardly put it down.
