Church Egg Hunt

We all went to church this morning and then the whole church went to Willodene and Jim's for a cookout and egg hunt. We were so lucky with the weather! The rain stopped long enough for the hunt and the grass was not wet at all. Cameron was really frustrated each time an egg came apart, he didn't understand that was what they were supposed to do. That's Cameron for you, he likes things 'just so.' Trevor loved finding the eggs, but was a bit slow compared to the other kids. They will have fun when we do it at our house next weekend!

Aren't they cute! My mom is headed back to Cali bright and early in the morning. We will all miss her while she is gone.

I've been busy making jewelry. I'm hoping that people will pass my jewelry blog site on to friends and family and that I will get some orders by email. We have a long way to go for our fundraising this year! I'm going to go sell at a car show in April.

Still not word on my job yet, I'm hoping to hear by April. It's so stressful. I do not look forward to next year at all. I really want to teach a primary grade!

The weather has been different each day here. Today is warm and nice so my mom and I took the kids to the park to play for a while. They played in the backyard for a while and went on a bike ride. Then we went to dinner with mom. Everyone is healthy so far, but we do get some coughing as the weather keeps changing. We have a busy spring scheduled all ready, so hopefully we can all stay healthy! I spent the entire morning going through the kids clothes and getting spring clothes out. I wish it would just stay warm! Tomorrow we will go to church and then to Nana and Papa's for a church lunch and egg hunt. It will be a long day for the boys, but I'm sure they will have fun!

Big Weekend

We had a busy weekend. Saturday morning was Cameron's last basketball game. He shot two baskets this week! He was so excited. After the game, the kids all received a metal. We are so proud of him for playing each week, he really did great.

After the game we came home and made lunch and got the kids to an early nap. Cameron was invited to 3 birthday parties, however, we knew we couldn't do them all so we only decided on going to two of them. The first was Bodie's 4th birthday. Cameron enjoyed playing in Bodie's room with all of his toys. They had a nice get together at their house. We couldn't stay too long since we had another party and Cameron did NOT want to leave. But, he was motivated by going to "jumpy things" (as he calls them). The second party was for Wynton at Kazoings. There were a bunch of 3 year olds there. It was a lot of fun, they were all completely occupied and wore themselves out jumping and playing. There were many moments for them to practice sharing and taking turns! It was fun (and kind of exhausting for us adults - chasing the little ones around). The kids really had a blast though.

This has already proven to be a busy week for us. Last night my mom watched the kids for us so that Zach and I could go to the Great Strides kick-off. I was asked to speak about fundraising. I was nervous, but I think it went okay. Hopefully I inspired and gave a few good ideas to people. I always enjoy getting together with fellow CF families. It's not a fun thing to share, but everyone understands and when your kids are the center of your life, it's amazing how much our families have in common and share.

Today I had a faculty meeting, then came home and we are having our kitchen cabinets installed. We aren't replacing our regular cabinets, but we are adding some in our eating area so that we have more storage. We had planned to do the cabinets this weekend and have my mom watch the kids. She is only here another week, we will miss her.....the kids will too! We're still hoping mom will watch the kids even if our cabinets are all in so that Zach and I can get a date night in before she leaves. Last weekend was so busy, it just flew by. Hopefully this weekend will be a bit more relaxed.

Ring Around the Rosie

Trevor loves doing this!
