Town Egg Hunt

April 7, 2012, Saturday - Woke up early (for a Saturday) and took the kids to the town's 1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt. All the advertisements said 9-12 and didn't say when the actual hunt was or what age groups go when. So, we got there before 9 and found out the hunt was not going to be until 11:30am. There were games for the kids to do and free activities and so we kept busy with that. It was a cool morning. The kids learned some golf, decorated an egg, egg spoon relay and played on the playground. Chad headed back home to work on projects & then came back. 11:30 the hunt began and wow....in about 6 minutes, if that long, the hundreds of eggs were swooped up by quick kids.

Nathan just dropped his egg at the end right when I snapped the photo

See the eggs in the background?!

Ready, Set, Go!

Dying Eggs

April 6, 2012, Friday - No School, it is officially Spring Break. Last year we didn't get around to dying eggs because we left for out of town on Palm Sunday and were on vacation for the whole week before Easter (and I didn't pack egg dying supplies). This year we are leaving on Easter so today gave us the opportunity to dye some eggs. The kids loved it!

1st Grade Snack

April 5, 2012, Thursday - This morning I helped with Nathan's class snack. We colored cream cheese and put it on half a small bagel to make it look like an Easter Egg. They also had grapes. They enjoyed their snack. Last day of school and then Spring Break tomorrow, Yah!!!
  Later Nathan had a soccer game against the Grasshoppers.  It was raining and raining, but no lighting and so the organization kept the kids playing.  This is the first time in 3 years Nathan has had to play in constant rain.  We were under umbrellas, but they were not.  They were so wet and cold.  I am happy to say that they WON 5-3 and Nathan scored a GOAL!  Way to Go, Nathan!

Brittany and Nathan gave these cute Easter gifts to all their teachers.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

March 16, 2012, Friday - Happy Birthday to Dad! About 5:45pm we arrived at Mom and Dad's. Mom was preparing a birthday dinner. Dad was grilling the meat & then the gas went out....luckily Mom has a george forman grill and finished cooking the wonderful dinner. We enjoyed yummy home-cooked food & then a homemade confetti birthday cake. Uncle George's birthday is today too. He had just called to wish Dad a Happy Birthday when we were getting ready to sing and light the candles. So we put Uncle George on speaker phone and sang to him at the same time. Dad opened his presents & the kids enjoyed playing with the ribbons.
Happy Birthday, Dad/Papa!
