Middle of April checklist...

Before we start with the catch-up news...the girls came to visit for a week! MB (super-committed gramma) drove out to get them and bring them back here to Hurricane for the week. It was lots of fun to see them...there were tea-parties, wrestling, bike-and-scooter riding, dog walking, cat-cuddling... Love those girls!

Hoping to see Logan and Ivy this summer...will they be back in the country? West coast or East coast? The mysteries abound...

Now down to business:
1) Taxes? Done...had to have those in a month ago.
2) FAFSA? Done...the IRS and the Dept of Ed now acknowledge each other. All we really had to do was check that the data was correct.
3) Andy's Fall registration? Tomorrow morning...
4) End of year CRT testing? Over the next 3 weeks...but mine is 2 weeks away. I have to be honest, I'm more than a little nervous. I haven't been responsible for state testing for a couple of years. Hope I haven't completely lost my touch!
5) Finalize summer calendar? Well...I'm taking classes 3/4 of June, and Andy starts his Wed-Sun Ranger gig in a month. I will spend some time planning for next year's class, and hopefully we will get in some hikes on a regular basis. We would also like to do some short camping trips, just because it's been a couple of years since we busted out our gear!
6) Keep up on tech stuff? Why has the computer taken over my life? Why do people have smartphones? Do you have no lives????? I can't get books read fast enough because I have to check emails, blogs, grading systems, FAFSA applications, online banking....
