A co-worker is retiring this month and today was her retirement party. She's a super nice and friendly person and I'm excited for her to enjoy all of her favorite things anytime of the day she wants to.

We set up a small aquarium yesterday afternoon in Quinn's room. I loved having fish as a kid and had a small 5 gallon one in my room before I moved out. So far the cat seems indifferent about it.

 Today was such a busy day! We headed out to Holland for a small comic festival.
 We stopped to see Comfort and Adam.
 And Corinne Roberts.
The weather ended up being much nicer than it was supposed to be (and what tiny amount of snow there was had melted) so we stopped by the Wyoming Spring Carnival.
 We alternated rides with Quinn.
And he rode his first rollercoaster by himself.
He had an amazing time and wanted to see everything, even if some rides looked a little "too scary". Most rides he was tall enough to ride, so it was a great afternoon out in the sunshine for us all.

Today is the last weekend for a free family craft and petting zoo in Coopersville. Since it's cold and supposed to snow later, we decided an indoor activity would be best.

Quinn made an ant out of a sock.
 And was able to visit all kinds of animals.
 And sit on an old tractor.
 He had so much fun bouncing between the animal pens and craft stations.
 The rats were super fun and tickled him a ton.
He was quite proud of his crafts - a caterpillar and an ant made out of a sock.

Tonight I'm out to see Avengers. It's a 3 hour long movie and since Chris and I still take turns if we want to see the same movie (so someone is home with Quinn), it's easier to try to get it done before the weekend and have an entire half day eaten up by an overlong movie.

Chris is out seeing Avengers and this little guy and I are watching a Batman movie and dressing up.

It's finally starting to be nice in the morning so I went for a run before work. It's nice when I get up and the whole household is asleep - makes it easier to sneak out and do things.

This thing is almost a year old. No flower buds but lots of leaves and different shoots coming off the main body.



I was not pleased.
And soon it was creeping into the 60s and then 70s.



It was a slow walk back home.


 We had a good time coloring eggs this evening.

Came home to this.





This entire helmet is built of mini stormtroopers.
