 Monday we got a text from a cat shelter we visited over the weekend to get some feedback for why we didn't adopt the cat we looked at and Paul relented and said we could adopt her after I bugged him about it "relentlessly".  Tuesday Mary and I went to the church and had a playdate with the Gochenour's for a couple of hours.  We met up with Paul for lunch and that evening I had my first meeting with the activity committee to plan our activity for May.

Wednesday I did some deep cleaning and I facetimed with Clare Schramm in the afternoon.  That night we drove to Reno and picked up our new cat, Izzy.  She's a 3 year old domestic shorthair.  She was terrified when we brought her home and she stayed behind the washing machine for the first 24 hours, only coming out to use her litter box and eat.

Thursday we went to the weekly exercise class/ play group then went to April Kimball's house for a little play date.  Mary and April's son, William, had a blast playing in the backyard, on the trampoline, and Mary loved meeting the bunnies, chickens, and quails, she even helped April gather some eggs.  We went home for lunch to check on Izzy but she wasn't ready to come out yet.  In the afternoon we met up with ShaLay and Megan at the park.  There were a lot of kids there and they all played together, which was so fun for Mary.  On the way home from the park she said, "played with friends at the park! So fun!" Then she talked about how they played on the slide, swings, and in the grass together.  That night we got Izzy out from behind the washer with some kitty treats we got from April.  Izzy is a pretty social cat, so I think she was pretty lonely.

Friday we visited Paula in the morning.  Paula was so sweet and gave me an orchid for Mother's Day.  The rest of the day Mary played with Izzy and Izzy was only a little apprehensive, Mary was in heaven.  Saturday we did a lot of yard work cutting the grass, pulling weeds, and top treating the lawn.  We started to see grass sprouting in the new area where we planted more grass seed.  We went for a walk and took Mary to the park for a little bit.  Sunday was Mother's Day and I got beautiful flowers from Paul.  We had a nice day of being together as a family and enjoying the warm weather.  Paul taught Mary how to do a pinky swear and she has loved giving us pinky promises this week.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
