Easter Egg Scramble

The sun came out just in time for the Easter Egg Scramble on Saturday afternoon. The boys were in the same area this year, kids ages 3-5.
They took off for the eggs when the whistle blew. David was super speedy. He was running all over the place. Ryan was trying really hard to keep up with him. the Easter bunny must have been very busy Saturday morning putting out all those eggs.

Soccer Season

Spring Soccer season started in April. We have only had one practice out of five because of rainy weather. David is thrilled that Paul is coaching again this season. Their one practice was on a very windy Sunday afternoon. The parents on the sidelines were freezing, but the kids didn't seem to mind.

Brown Paper Packages Tied up with String

The boy's preschool took a trip to a local long term care facility to sing for the "grandmas and grandpas". They sang one of my favorite songs: Favorite Things from the Sound of Music. We sang it all week before they went. David sang great with lots of concentration. Ryan stood in the quietly and pretty much glared at everyone. That afternoon I asked what their favorite part of the trip was: The Bus Ride.
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.

Walking in the Rain

We had a no-school day on Wednesday last week and decided to go for an adventure on the City Bus to downtown. It rained off an on all day, so all the kids enjoyed their umbrella walk. We had lunch at Panera and then headed down College Avenue. The kids have a new favorite store downtown - Campus Candy! They filled up their bags and had a sugar snack. They were giddy! David was excited to see cowtails and Ryan was excited to see everything. Next time we go we'll try out the ice cream too. We took a walk on campus to burn off the sugar. They were nuts. Lots of running and jumping. It was fun to watch the students check out these little guys walking through campus. They all looked cute with their umbrellas.

Storytime for Everyone

Storytime used to be just for the boys, but now Rocky has shown some interest in joining everyone on the bed. Once Rocky jumped up Twix had to be there too. Henry has shown no interest in storytime. (He prefers the quiet that storytime brings to the rest of the house.)

"I have a cousin, and she's SIX!"

We celebrated Kelsey's 6th Birthday on April 2nd. The boys loved her scavenger hunt and pinata. David has been telling all his friends about his "cousin, who is SIX!". He's very proud of Kelsey's age. (wait till he finds out about her missing tooth!) Superstar! "Ryan LOVES cake and ice cream!" Buddies! The Birthday girl!

Caught in the Act!

We're having fun with Rocky! I caught him on top of the kitchen table last week. The dog training classes only pay off if we actually start to practice what we learn! So far Rocky thinks he's training us. :-)
