Spring

We've had a hint of spring in Columbus this week - well, more like a hint of summer.  80 degrees for several days in a row, but now we're in the 30's.  Typical Ohio.  I'm not going to dwell on the nasty coldness, it will change again, and soon, because that's how it is.

I've had a chance to do a lot of fun things in the last week or so.  Last Friday I took the kids down to the Scioto Audubon park on Whitier Penninsula - you can tell that the park isn't complete yet, definately a work in progress, but it's going to be beautiful once the trees come in a bit more.  There was a pretty daunting looking climbing rock too - not that I tried it.  Plus there's an audubon center, didn't get a chance to see that since I had to get to work.  The playground was good, a bit different that your usual set up, and Rory and Liam liked it.

Saturday we went to Molly's brother's place in Marengo -I am absolutely predjudiced, but I love the Malloys.  So much fun for the kids - games where they won "bunny bucks" to spend on little prizes, a great big egg hunt, a hay ride, etc.  For the adults, food, drinks and plenty of friendly people to spend time with.

Sunday was Easter complete with a walk home from Graeters - the 4 miles helped to pay off the ice cream, but only some of it :)  It was still worth it though.

Monday went to the zoo with Rory and Liam, we met my cousin Sarah and her little boy Brady.  Saw some exhibits we'd missed before - always a nice day. 

Just been enjoying the weather and working since.  I've got an interview tomorrow for a part time job at the Columbus Historical Society - not sure if I'll get it or not, but I'm excited just to  interview.

As far as reading goes, I finished Fall of Thanes and wonder why I wasted my time.  blah.  Mistborn, The Dragonbone Chair and Running with the Demmon are all still good, still trying to get into Gardens of the Moon - can't get hooked yet I'm afraid.  Many people have said that it's a good series if you're a fan of George RR Martin's style of writting.  No comparison yet, but I've only ready about 25% of the book so far...

yeah, that's all that's been going on, the kids are watching some tv before bed, but I suppose I should make an appearance and get them tucked in... night!
