Softball

 Instead of a practice this week our girls’ travel team had a scrimmage against our local rec team. It was just for fun, and to learn. Lorelai got a couple good hits and she made sure to get her nice, white uniform dirty. 

April wrap-up…

 Pictures from April...

Scarlet thinks she's just so clever.  She came running in the door from school proclaiming that she made me brownies today....

Well it turns out, Scarlet made me BROWN "E's"!!! April Fools!  She got me.

Duchess turned 5 months old on April 9th, and she is now 67lbs

Poor boy is suffering from pink eye and a double ear infection.  He's looking a little rough

These two are inseparable

Fishing with Papa Joe

When Scarlet makes up her mind, that's it.  There's no stopping her.  She is determined to learn how to type even though I thought she was too young for it.  She wouldn't take no for an answer.

Evelyn's stories are the best!

I love her imagination and creativity

Feeling better and working out with Dad

Now this is quite the predicament

Easter

 Easter was just a relaxing day at home with the kids.  They explored their Easter baskets, had an epic egg hunt, and we finished with a wonderful prime rib dinner. 

There were 180 eggs total.  I think in one of the videos I mentioned there were 170 eggs but I had mis-counted.  The results were:

Lorelai: found 63 eggs (eight of those eggs had $1 bills in them so she found $8 total)

Evelyn: found 60 eggs (1 egg had $5, and 5 eggs had $1 for $10 total)

Scarlet: found 27 eggs (she found the golden egg with a $10 bill inside and another egg with $5 for a total of $15) Scarlet found the most money, but the least amount of eggs

Joseph: found 29 eggs (2 eggs had $1 inside, for $2 total)

If you do the math you'll notice that only 179 eggs were found.  The kids gave up looking after a while and Daddy ended up finding the lost egg and he got to keep the $1 inside!

Breakfast is over and she's already enjoying chocolate

She's intense when she's hunting eggs

Joseph found eggs hiding in the tree!

Egg-mazing!

I love the Egg-Mazing!  It's the best way for little kids to decorate eggs.  They can completely do it themselves and the end result is beautiful. 

Spring Program

 The girls had their spring program at school.  I took a couple short videos of SOME of the songs they sung because I didn't want to sit there recording the entire show.  I was glad that Scarlet actually sang!! In all her preschool performances her shyness takes over and she would just stand and look miserable.  She's coming along.

Evelyn is learning to roller skate!  For a clumsy girl she picked it up pretty quick
