Picture of the Week - 4/22/2021

 It's been "top down" kinda weather here recently.  Pollen aside (which has been really bad this year) it's been gorgeous and sunny and just enough chill in the air to need a jacket in the evenings.  Quinn has taken advantage by removing the doors and taking the top off his Jeep.  This makes Zane and Beckett practically vibrate with excitement because he drives them to wrestling practice in that Jeep on the weekends.  Can you think of anything cooler than having your big brother drive you around in a cool old Jeep while blaring music that I probably wouldn't let them listen to?  I think not...

There's not too much new news going on down here right now.  The boys are all gearing up for milestone testing and finals.  Learning is ramping down and reviewing (aka cramming) is ramping up.  

Spencer and Quinn (really Zane and Beck too...  but lesser a bit) are both really busy.  They regularly go from school to work to gym to sleep.  Or school to wrestling to gym to sleep.  Or occasionally they squeeze in dinner with a friend or hang out somewhere working on a project.  I have a list of things that need to be discussed (not deep dark things, more like "are you gonna go with us to graduation?" kinda stuff) that I have to write on a piece of paper so I can pepper them with questions during the 5 minutes a day I see them.  It's pretty wild...

This week we have some folks in our basement building a closet into one of the rooms down there.  This closet is kinda massive.  It's going to be really nice!  Quinn has decided he wants to move down there this summer so he can have some privacy (currently he shares a bathroom with both Zane and Beck).  So we are working through some home improvement type things to make it a little more feasible for him to live down there.  After the closet guys leave, we paint and then some minor electrical stuff (this massive closet is going to need lights) and installation of a closet organizer and then we can start the process of moving boys all around.  Quinn's stuff is going downstairs, then his current room is getting a fresh coat of paint before Beckett moves in.  Finally we are going to spruce up the room Zane and Beck currently share.  It's a lot of small projects that will - realistically - take us all summer.  But it's fun kind of stuff that I'm excited to tackle.

Hope you are all having a great April!  Next week is a fun week for us with Prom (x2) and a weekend away for Bob and I which I've been looking forward to for ages.  More later...
