Time with Dad

Ryan took the kids to the Home Depot kids work shop this morning.  They love spending time when him and happening on extras while they are out make it that much better.

Home Workout

Days when we are stuck at home with sick kids, are hard.  Mainly because I don't get my alone time for my workouts.  Today was one of those days, so I broke out some of our new workout equipment.  I like the Y better, but at least I can get a similar workout when kiddos aren't feeling well.

Jon Bon

Jonathan is continues to get into things.  Anything down at his level or at a level he can easily climb to is fair game.  The worst though is the liquid.  We mainly drink water, but after the doctor told me my kids needed more dairy (and since they don't care for regular milk) they have been drinking lots of chocolate milk.  It is a horrible sticky mess to clean up. 

The other day, I ran upstairs to change the laundry and was gone for all of 2 minutes.  When I came down the stairs I found Jonathan here asleep.  Tired boy.

Tuesday Folders

Every Tuesday, I go to Kherington's school to file the kids paper work then stuff folders with announcements and papers.  There is an extra room near the classroom that I do it in so I can bring Kevin and Jonathan with me.  When I first started, Jonathan was young enough he would just sit and quietly play.  Now he is in to everything, so I have gotten a little creative in blocking off access to different areas of the room.  Here is trying to get through my blockade.

Egg Hunt #2

Our second egg hunt was out in Flower Mound.  We had done this hunt last year and loved it.  It was small enough that you could actually enjoy wandering around, but large enough to add excitement to the egg hunt.  We split the kids up onto their correct fields so I only have pictures of Kherington.  I do think it's funny that parent feel the need to go on the field and help their 6 year old pick up eggs.  Come one, we all know they are old enough to do it themselves.  Just let them go have fun.

Right after the hunt, we hurried over to the line to pet the rabbits.  The kids were pretty timid and only spent a could minutes in the corral.  Most people left soon after the hunt so the kids could walk right up to the inflatables instead of standing in line.  Perfect.

They do an adults only hunt also.  Ryan did it last year and the eggs were empty except for the prize eggs so I figured it would be the same this year.  I headed over without a bag or anything and found they had filled eggs and other treats spread across the field.  While I didn't get  prize egg, the kids did enjoy the rice crispy treats, sour gummy strips, and crackers.  Jonathan loved his suckers.  On our way back to the car, we found the mascot rabbits open for pictures.

When we got home, Jonathan enjoyed helping his daddy with some paper work.

Batter Batter

Kherington had her first Tball practice today.  I signed her up through the First Baptist Church of Carrolton's sports program since we've heard good things and it is cheap ($60 for the season including the uniform).  For some reason if I am around, she acts super shy, but if she is on her own she acts normal.  So instead of staying and helping I went over the playground with the kids and watch at a distance.  That was until it was her turn to bat and they tried lining her up as a righty.  They had to switch her grip around and her swing was super  awkward.  I ran over and told them she was a lefty and her swing got instantly better.  Although after being corrected one way, she is a little mixed up as to how to line up correctly.  She'll get it though.  She is one of (if not the) oldest on the team but is the shortest.

Baby Shower Leftovers

I went to Erin Parente's baby shower last night and came home with some delicious leftover strawberry cupcakes and white chocolate dipped marshmallows.  The kids thought the treats not only looked cool but tasted delicious.

I thought Jonathan and Hannah were the cutest sharing and eating their cupcakes.
