MONKEY

BOTH BOYS HAD EASTER EGG HUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCHOOLS. FOR JOHN DAVID'S CLASS EGG HUNT, A FEW OTHER MOMS AND I HIDE CLOSE TO 300 EGGS FOR HIS CLASS. I THINK THEY FOUND ALL BUT LESS THAN 10. I SURE COULD NOT REMEMBER WHERE I HID THE EGGS. HOLT ALSO GOT TO FIND EGGS WITH THE FIRST GRADERS. YES, IT IS TRUE...IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE NEWS, THE SANDNESSES ARE ON THE MOVE AGAIN. WE ARE HEADING BACK TO MINNESOTA. IN FACT, WE ARE MOVING IN 14 DAYS! CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT. THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL HERE IN LAGUNA HILLS THROUGH JUNE 19TH AND WE ARE FLYING TO MINNESOTA ON THE 21ST. SINCE THE KIDS ARE GETTING OUT SO LATE FROM SCHOOL, WE ARE TRYING TO MAXIMIZE OUR TIME AT THE CABIN THIS SUMMER. I THINK WE ALL MISS THE CABIN AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR TIME THERE...ALTHOUGH THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF SADNESS IN LEAVING CALIFORNIA. WE HAVE MADE MANY WONDERFUL FRIENDS HERE AND IT WILL BE TOUGH TO LEAVE ANOTHER HOME. WE ARE HOPING THAT MANY WILL MAKE THE TREK UP NORTH TO COME AND VISIT US. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW... SPENT 5 DAYS IN MELBOURNE LAST WEEK-QUALITY TIME WITH MY BEST FRIENDS BASED ON THE EAST COAST. LOUISE AND PRUE KEPT ME BUSY WITH MANY OUTINGS INCLUDING A COMEDY NIGHT, A FOOTBALL GAME AT THE MCG, THE TIM BURTON EXHIBITION AS WELL AS LOTS OF GREAT FOOD AND DRINKS. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE TWINS TO MONKEY JOE'S TO LET THEM BURN OFF SOME ENERGY. THIS IS A PLACE THAT IS NOTHING BUT INFLATABLE JUMPY THINGS. THE TWINS ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. THEY BOUNCED THEIR LITTLE HEARTS OUT. LATER IN THE MONTH, WE DID A WEEKEND GET AWAY TO WACO BUT HAD TO MAKE A TRIP BACK INTO THE METROPLEX TO ATTEND THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF A COUPLE OF MY COUSINS: GUESS WHO'S BACK, BACK AGAIN? IT'S THE CZ NOTES, AND WE'RE READY TO DROP SOME RESPECT IN THIS BITCH, THE KIND OF RESPECT THAT CAN COME FROM ONLY ONE PLACE, THE CZ NOTES. WE HAD ORIGINALLY STARTED THIS BACK AT THE END OF MAY, BUT WORK, LIFE, AND A QUICKLY DEVELOPING COKE HABIT HAVE GOTTEN IN THE WAY, SO NOW THAT I'VE KICKED THE HABIT AND FOUND SOME TIME, IT'S TIME FOR THE 5TH ANNUAL (TWO) THIRDSIES/ANNUAL MONSTER ARTICLE.
