Spring snow

Just when I thought spring had sprung we get snow. I'm really ready for some serious spring weather to stay. It gets teasingly warm and then drops back to cold but snow was a bit too much.

We got a new septic tank! Yeah, I know, who gets excited about septic tanks? I do, especially since the old one broke. It worked fine as far as flush and be gone but there was an odd hole in the ground out back. So one fine morning the guys came and dug a really big hole, pulled up the old and replaced it with a new bigger concrete model. I found the whole procedure interesting and actually photographed it. I can play it as a slideshow for #2 who is really into heavy machinery. Poor kid had to go to school that day as it was spring picture day. I now have a huge mud area in back and am thinking of setting up ropes around it and renting it out for mud wrestling matches. I could use the revenue from ticket sales to pay for the tank. I'll have to run that idea by the Hubby. I have a feeling that if it involves babes in bikinis he'll be pro. He and all his friends will have to pay the cover charge. I bet my girlfriends would send their husbands down just to get some quiet time. If I offer child care I'll make a fortune! Most moms I know just want some quality alone time.

Any who- that went off topic! So I'm still working on the sewing room. I've hit the wall on creative layout for all my stuff. I think I have too many interests and not enough room or time. So I'm still trying to get all the bits and pieces arranged so I can put either the laptop or the sewing machine on my desk and use the side table for workspace. Someday I may get this done and looking good- until then it's better than everything scattered in boxes here and there upstairs but it's a slow go.
I've been working on some Easter decorations- paper bunnies and eggs, needlefelted eggs, some flowers and a couple of chicks. I've also got #1's 8th birthday coming up. Party decor to be planned and made. Too much to do and not anywhere enough time to do it. These holidays and things to celebrate come too close together! Good thing May should be pretty quiet- just the Memorial Day Parade for the Brownies. Maybe I'll get some projects done before school is out for summer. Wish me luck!
