Skyrobics
I had been meaning to make it out to Skyzone's SkyRobics class for some time. It's a one-hour aerobics class that has participants on individual trampolines and it's said to burn up to 1,000 calories. At one point, I felt a headache coming on, my legs were starting to give out, and I was getting nauseous...that was seven minutes into the class. It was hard. I took a lot of breaks and actually called it quits after 40 minutes. But I felt fantastic the next day and was glad I gave it a try.
The best part was that I brought Caleb with me and he got to jump around for an hour at a discounted rate while I did the class. I could see him the entire time and he'd come to see me when I'd take water breaks.

Disney on Ice
For Christmas I had gifted Caleb tickets to see Disney on Ice. It was my first time seeing a Disney on Ice show and I was pretty excited as it was the 100th year show. We had a good time but overall I was disappointed. I have this love/hate relationship with Disney and this experience mostly fed into the negative side. The skating was all dazzling costumes and special effects with little actual talent. Maybe my expectations were too high because I'd been watching Nationals and Olympic figure skating... I did really enjoy the Toy Story bit, though. Caleb had a great time and I loved watching him watch the show, so there's that.

Cupcake Day
Ottawa's Geeky Godmother hosted a Cupcake party as a fundraiser for the Ottawa Humane Society. Caleb and I stopped in after the ice show. My friend Chrissy from Cici & Co sponsored the event.

Mountain Grove visit
Evelyn and I made a mid-week visit to Mountain Grove as we hadn't been in awhile. Evelyn took the opportunity to accelerate her motor skills. She performed impressive gymnast feats on grandma and grandpa's bed and even learned how to get from lying down to sitting position.

Liana's Visual Arts audition
Liana's audition for the high school visual arts concentration was last week. She had all of her works in a portfolio and had to do some on the spot still life sketching and creativity tests. Results should be in by next week.

Miscellaneous
Evelyn's cold lasted for WEEKS! Other than visiting all of her grandparents Evelyn's been home. At first I kept rescheduling playdates, and library and swimming outings, but I got tired of canceling on people will just get back to them now that she's better.
I had a job interview yesterday and spent the better part of a week preparing for it. I actually read excerpts of Budget 2014 aloud to Evelyn (poor kid). I should know how it went around Easter.
