Busy little week here in Shafferland! Has it been for you? Here's what we've been up to in our occasionally snowy spring week!
* Last Sunday was Easter, and we already told you all about that. We dressed up in our Easter best for an amazing church service in the morning, had lunch with my family and joined in Ryan's family party at the tail end of it. Easter egg hunts, coffee, and lots of conversation. (And then we had naps and ate leftover.)
* Monday was our 64th monthiversary, and if you just flip those number around, 4-6 would also mark the number of inches of snow that fell. (That was April 2nd, by the way. WHERE IS SPRING???) We enjoyed our day together, and we enjoyed a visit from Phoebe in the afternoon and evening! YAY for Pheebs!
* On Tuesday I tried a new-to-me Dashing Dish recipe of chicken tenders and zucchini fries. Ryan raved about both, so that's a keeper recipe! Know what's not a keeper? Hill intervals on the treadmill. MAMA!!!!! My calves were screaming by the end. We were working at home that night when two police cars parked in front of our house and police were poking around the neighborhood. Ryan, who always teases me for being the neighborhood nib-nose, proved he has some skills of his own! (Well-being check, according to the scanner. Don't know if the beings in question were well or not!)
* Wednesday was another new-to-us recipe day: a chicken and rice casserole using riced cauliflower. Another keeper! Phoebe came back that day - this time to stay for a while! Her (human) brother got married this weekend, and she needed a place to stay during all the hoopla and festivities. Really broke our hearts to have to agree to keep her.
* I spent all the live-long day Thursday working at a feverish pace on scrapbooks! I had three books I wanted to complete by the end of spring break, so I pretty much never left the couch except to walk Pheebs. We went to work out at the end of the day, and she literally sat on my hip while I did core work. An interesting maneuver for me!
* Finished the scrapbooks on Friday! Woot woot! I did a photo shoot with Phoebe (I'm sorry you missed it! It was hilarious!) to get some pictures wishing her brother the best at his wedding. The pictures I got were great, ubt I was kind of exhausted from all the outtakes! We ordered pizza and stayed in watching old Matlock reruns Friday night. #thecoolest.
* Ryan worked yesterday, but when he came home, he and Pheebs bonded over head butting games and changing the oil in the mower. (Train up a dog, I guess? We went grocery shopping, and I had to take pictures of the flowers, because I'm afraid that is the only way I'm ever going to see flowers in this state this spring. I MISS SPRING!!!!!!
