Spring Storm

I was so grateful for the rain yesterday. It has been so dry and dusty. The rain started to turn everything green and it was feeling very spring like. However, last evening watching the white stuff come down was bittersweet. As i look out my window now, it continues to snow and all the green grass is covered. I am just thankful we are not Calgary. They are literally getting dumped on and highway 2 by Airdrie was closed. Buses are shut down due to icy conditions and it looks like there is no end in sight today. Old man winter is not giving up without a fight!
Mom and Matt had a quiet weekend. I was away to Radium Hot Springs with some girlfriends of mine and John was watching the girls. Mom only had to babysit part of the evening on Saturday. I arrived back Sunday evening and stopped at mom's house. i had to tease her because she was still in her pyjama's!
It has been a busy week for me but a quiet week for Matt. Jonmarie received the Terrific Kid award at her school. I took videos and she couldn't stop smiling. Mom took Matt for his bath in Innisfail yesterday and I am taking him for a haircut today. I hope the roads improve. Tonight Matt and Mom are babysitting the kids because John and I are going to a fundraiser for Shaunie's school. It is called the Evening of Decadent Dessert's and it is so much fun. Shaunie's class made art work and they put it together and then auction it off. Last year they had hand prints on a quilt and it went for $4000. It is then donated back to the Center to hang on the wall. Can't wait to see what it will go for this year.
Matt's back is starting to clear up somewhat, however the scarring is really bad. We are hoping to do some treatments at the spa but it is difficult because I am always working and can't go and pick him up. Trying to convince him to come in the Handi Van but he is so stubborn!! He wants either myself or mom to drive him. Just like a man. Dad is hoping to come sometime in May so maybe he can drive Matt. He hasn't heard his test results yet but should in the next week.
