March 21: A day of rest

On Sunday, we took it easy. Mom and I put the first coat of paint on the laundry room in the morning while Dad added extra screws to our railing to reinforce it. Unfortunately, Nate wasn't feeling well so he slept in. We had actually all been intermittently sick during the weekend. On Friday night, Dad woke us up to let us know that the furnace had back fired twice. We kept it off all weekend and just used the fireplace for heat incase the furnace was making us sick. We've actually kept it off since. We're happy that the weather has been nice so we don't actually need the furnace.

In the afternoon, we traveled to Chaska to celebrate my second cousin Eli's 1st birthday. We spent a wonderful afternoon there and then came back to the house for pizza. We relaxed and talked the rest of the night and ended up getting Dairy Queen blizzards before bed.
