Being Productive!

Well I have accomplished several things since I made my last post.  Finally, after 3 tries, I passed the written driver test to obtain my AK driver's license.  I was seriously starting to think I was not going to pass it.  I am not gonna go into great detail, but I am not stupid, and this test is ridiculously difficult.  I cannot imagine how many times a teen would have to take the test to get their license for the first time.  And finally, after searching for over a month and a half, I saw 2 moose for the first time.  My friend and I were driving on a back road and sure enough we saw a mother and her baby.  However, the baby was no longer a baby, but it was smaller than her.  They really are quite docile when they do not feel threatened, but I wouldn't want to get any closer.  We were in her truck probably about 30 feet away, and funny enough, it was the younger moose who ran off when it saw us.  It was really something because they are very large and have unusually shaped heads.  I haven't seen another moose since.  The weather is really starting to warm up.  Sometimes it gets up in the 40's during the day, and I kid you not, people are walking around here with shorts and tank tops on.  I can definitely feel and agree that it is warmer, but you will not catch me in that attire any time soon.  And with the weather warming up and having nothing else to do, I decided to paint the kitchen (2 walls) a bright, buttery warm, mango yellow shade.  The picture doesn't even begin to capture how bright the color is.  It is definitely cheerful!  Justin will be on summer break before I know it and both of my children are bottomless pits!  They eat non stop and never get full.  I go shopping and buy what I feel is a crazy amount of food and it is usually gone before I even get a chance to eat any.  Ahhhhhhhhh!  Since today was Easter, I felt generous and decided to let the kids eat as much candy as they wanted today.  Well, they did, and they still ate other food.  They did not complain of stomach aches and they are still whining that they are hungry.  I can handle it when one child is going through a growth spurt, but when they both are at the same time, I get a little tense.  A shopping trip for new Spring wardrobes is just around the corner-I can smell it.  I hope all of you are enjoying yourselves and hopefully the weather is getting nicer for you too.  Stay tuned!
