As you may, or may not know, taxes for corporations were due on March 15th -- Thursday -- of this past week.  Kevin now has two corporations which need to file and his accountant was slacking!  Luckily, she (by which I mean "I") got on the ball this week.  On Monday I finished up the financial statements, on Tuesday I filed federal and state for Growth Climate Therapy Services, on Wednesday I filed federal and state for Therapy Support Center, and on Thursday (since I was on a roll) I filed our income taxes -- federal and state. (Then on Thursday night we went to our caucus meeting!  It was a government-filled week.)  I am very, very, very, very happy to be done with the taxes.  Just think of all the fun things I can do now that those cumbersome jobs are done!!!

We had a very lovely, spring-like week.

The kids got to spend a lot of time outdoors!  And since we haven't had rain for awhile, there wasn't even the usual spring mud problem.  (Since it is rain/snowing right now, I guess we will deal with that this upcoming week!)

We had no school on Friday because it was the end of the quarter.  We didn't do anything special, though.  The kids played with friends and read books and enjoyed being able to do whatever they wanted.  The twins in particular enjoyed the day, though, since they invited over a friend from school who is not in our neighborhood, Karlee, who brought her little sister and they all played from 2:00, then asked for a late night, and stayed until 9:00pm!  Such ecstatic fun!

Saturday was St. Patrick's day!  Most of us wore green, but the day probably would have gone by mostly uncelebrated if not for Megan who spent a large part of her day making us some St. Patrick's day cookies!

  Isn't she awesome?

In return, I spent a good part of my day Saturday sewing a pretty top for her to wear to orchestra concerts.  I actually bought it for her to sew, but it turned out that I really wanted to do it.  :)  I get that way sometimes.  We're going to put ruffles on it, too, though, and she wants to do that part, so we will see how that improvisation on our part goes!
