April 2015

So, I had a little fun this year for April Fool's. I packed the kids' lunches. I carefully opened the different things dumped out the contents and refilled them with, pretzels, apples, fruit twist, and Sprite. Wish I could have seen them open them up.

We also had an April Fools dinner (which flopped). This is something we did while I was growing up (thanks for the idea mom). I made a menu with crazy names for food. The kids had to number them and then ended up getting their items out of order. Like dessert with a napkin but no utensils. We started the evening with everyone but before the first round even ended, everyone ended up having to leave unexpectedly...I was left with Hannah, Ava and Chase, non of whom really got what was going on.

Here is what everyone got for round 1:

Ava got butter and a roll.

Chase got soup and butter (but nothing to eat with).

Caden got a roll and spoon. Looks like Chase and Caden should hook up.

Jordan got dessert and butter.

Kailyn was pretty proud of herself, she got soup and a spoon.

Ken had to leave before I got his picture but he got dessert and a napkin.

Hannah lucked out and got it all at once...yet she's still not happy.

Caden curled up with a book.

Caden, Hannah, Ava, and friend Owen playing in the sand.

Hannah feel asleep on the floor. She is holding her purple blanket that I original got from my grandma (but was made by my Aunt Bonnie) when I had Kailyn. I love that she loves this blanket.

Jordan reading a book at Target while she waits. She is at a good part and doesn't want to put it down.

Kailyn and her friends were doing a play for school and were filming at our house. Ava and Hannah had fun with with one of the wigs.

After seeing Ava, Hannah tried to put it on but as soon as we got out the camera, she pulled it off and wouldn't put it back on.

Ken thought it would be fun to give Hannah some Sprite.

Its fizz took her by surprise.

Checking out patio furniture at Costco.

Ken found some small plastic cups on clearance and thought they would be great for the kids to use for drinking cups. The kids thought they would be great to stack and play with. I couldn't decide on which picture to post, so I just posted them all.

Caden giving a presentation in class on Chaos "the first of all gods" in Greek Mythology.

Another Preschool field trip.

Chase getting promoted to blue belt.

How does one get the last drops of yogurt?

Must get every last morsel...

I think we only accomplished making a bigger mess.

Caden had an art show at school. He showed us some of his work.

And a picture of the rest of the art work he did throughout the year.
