The kids had a fun Easter morning. They both got new Easter clothes, and they got the game Hungry Hungry Hippo. Then, after they found their baskets (with a new Transformers electric toothbrush), they had an Easter egg hunt.
Oh, and, earlier in the week, we colored eggs.
We found out recently that on the first Saturday of every month, Home Depot hosts a free craft clinic for kids. So, we headed over. The kids made a window hanging bird feeder. They also got an apron, a pin and a certificate…all for free! I LOVE FREE!!
They also had an Angry Bird shoot set up and a picture frame.
Avery turned 4 on April 2. She is such a beautiful, spirited, strong-willed girl. Avery has a fun personality, and, when not grumpy, is usually the life of the party!! She loves to dance, play Wii and Nintendo 64 with her daddy and brother, sing, change clothes often, and brighten everyone’s day.
On her birthday we went to Build-A-Bear. Strangely though, my children both chose to build a dog. Oh well, they had fun! Avery named her dog, Lucy and Dylan named his, Ryan. Grams and Papa Eddie were in town and Nathan had the day off, so we had quite the party!!
Later that evening, we went to Red Robin for dinner. The following day we did cake and ice cream.
Let’s just say..it was long, but when the kids were on stage, it was cute. Thanks Nana and Bumpa for coming up to be there!
This is how Avery felt about it.
I hope this video works. You can’t really see Dylan, but it is a fun song! He is in the very back, on the right, with a blue shirt and an orange gummie bear on his head.
Dylan had his first game a few weeks back. I’m just really that bad at blogging lately. He isn’t a huge fan of the sport, but is going to be a team player and finish the season. I am very proud of him!
Here are a few pictures from the first game! Go Green Giants!!
About a month ago I was called as the Young Women President in my ward. As our first “official” activity, we had Homemaking Relay Races. I learned that, without a doubt, I have the most amazing leaders to work with and am very grateful for their many strengths and willingness to serve. We had six different races.
Laundry Fold
Sewing on a Button
Balancing a Budget
Scripture Study
Ironing
Peeling an Egg while Holding a Baby
We did all of this while having them go up and down the stairs between each relay. They appeared to enjoy themselves and maybe even learn a little something!
To pass off the Divine Nature, Personal Progress project, two of my Laurels came over on Saturday to do an art project. They found the idea on pinterest and we tried it out. I think they all turned out wonderful. We made a bit of a mess until we learned how to control the melting crayon and not have it splatter all over. I like the bright colors the girls used better than my darker colors (displayed by Avery).
