Hoppy Easter!

The Easter Bunny gets water and lettuce and a carrot - this year he tried a yellow bell pepper :)

He brought some super fun games (Banangrams and Star Wars Trouble) and new swim suits. We love the Easter Bunny :)

It was really fun to dye eggs - it's also fun to see the adults get even more into it than the kids do!

We were invited to a friends house for an egg hunt - everyone had a ton of fun and time with friends is always great!

Trevor went around looking for eggs in the motorized jeep with Bivy, only stopping to gather eggs when he saw one. :)

We also had an egg hunt the next afternoon with Gramps and the Workman Cousins in our front yard.  

PS Every night this week, Mommy & Daddy have been staying up playing Star Wars Trouble when the kids go to bed. 

4th Grade Field Trip!

The 4th grade went to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum this week!  Everyone around the bottom of the star is Katelynne's 4th grade class with their teacher.

Here is Katelynne's group!  Katelynne is holding the little slip of paper that has me listed as their chaperone and who is in the group. They each made a little booklet that had questions to answer throughout the museum that they filled out before & after watching a movie on "The Story of Texas".  The museum is filled with lots of reading and is not an interactive museum but lots of learning was going on :)

Here are the girls after lunch, they ate under the awnings behind them and if you look in between Audrey and Katelynne (2 middle), you might be able to see the top of the Capitol dome. They (and we!) learned at lunch that The Goddess of Liberty was replaced a few years ago to extend a few feet so that Texas would be taller than D.C. - Go Texas Pride :}

Here are the girls with one of their chaperones after we are done!

This is Katelynne and Audrey's shared pet. They take him everywhere.

This is the other chaperone - Aunt came!!  

Thanks for enjoying us there Katelynne, we love you!!

Friendship Bracelets!

 

Katelynne was able to host her friends from church for Activity Day girls for the Friendship Bracelet activity! Kassadi's Mom came to help too (Thanks Chelon!!) 

I remember making them and using safety pins to pin it to my jeans but I wasn't sure how that would work for them so I tried tape on the tile floor.  We used tie-dyed duct tape :)

The girls seemed to have a lot of fun and some of them were able to make more than one!

I love that everything that we loved as kids is coming back 'in style' - go 80's! :)

Lego Fun

Trevor loves to play with his friend J.D.   Because someone at our house has been sick for the past 6 weeks (!), it's taken awhile to be able to have J.D. over to play lately so they were very excited to get together. They've had big plans to pull out the Star Wars stuff and make a movie for youtube. 

 They pulled out almost all of Trevor's Lego supplies out of his drawer in the built-ins that we have downstairs dedicated to just legos :) and had fun building fun things for Lego Star Wars and taking tons of pictures for the movie that J.D. is putting together.

They had a snack of cookies and fruit smoothies and even kept the snack right by them while they worked on legos so that they didn't miss anytime working on their video project.  All of that stuff around them are little tiny legos and boxes of more legos.  I don't know how Trevor manages to pick up every single lego when he pulls it all out but he usually does (they are so tiny!!).

Thanks for another fun day J.D., we can't wait to see the Star Wars Lego video! :)
