Bug Program


This year, the kindergarten classes had a "Bug Program" at the school. They sang some songs and got to dress up in bug costumes for the event. PJ wanted to be a ladybug. We just got her a head band and twirled together red and dark brown pipe cleaners around the headband for her antennae, and ironed on some black dots to a red shirt for her costume. Very basic, but she rocked it! I didn't get great pictures of the actual event because the flash in an auditorium isn't wonderful and we were sitting soooo far away! Oh well, it was fun!

Keyana's 6th Birthday


PJ turned 6 this year! For her birthday, since she had school, we took her out to breakfast before school, and stopped to buy some donuts for her to take to class. After school, we went out to eat at the Olive Garden. Yum! The next day, we had a party with family, and BBQ'd burgers and hot dogs. It was just windy enough for some fabulous kite flying too! PJ was so excited to get a big girl scooter (2 wheels instead of 3) and has ridden it to school every day since!

Easter '10


We had a fairly nice Easter this year. Because of our weird schedules and lack of transportation for me, we had the Coffeys over to our house for the annual egg hunt and dinner. It was really fun, warm, and tasty! Poor Tattoo took so long to find his chocolate bunny that it melted! This was the weekend before Easter, and before it was snowing.
Easter Sunday, I was pretty excited to stay in my jammies and have a nice, relaxing Sunday on the couch. Tattoo, however, had alternate plans for me. The kids woke up that morning, and found their Easter baskets and hidden eggs. They immediately dug into their candy before breakfast (of course, what kid doesn't?!) Anyway, after breakfast, we snuggled together on the couch to start one of the kids' new movies before conference. After a little bit, Tattoo left me to snuggle with Nathan. We thought that was a bit weird, until Tattoo barfed all over Nathan! For the rest of the day, at about half hour intervals, Tattoo was throwing up. *Sigh* not fun! The barfing slowed down in the late afternoon, so we made our way over to the Morgan's for another Easter dinner and egg hunt. Fun week!
