Pinewood Derby Races

William had the Pinewood Derby Races for scouting on Tuesday night. The boys were all very excited. They had a fancy race track set up in the school gym and the boys were able to race their cars several times.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We enjoyed our beautiful Easter Sunday. William was up at 6:15 but was told we weren't hunting eggs until 7. At 7, we woke up Alex and the indoor hunt began! After eating some candy and playing a bit, we went for a walk around the neighborhood. Then we waited for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive - they were stopping by on their way home from Florida. The boys were so happy to see them! We visited for a while and then had lunch. Then the boys did another outdoor egg hunt before Grandma and Grandpa had to head home. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing outside.

CHUM Spring Party

On Friday, I took the morning off work to help at Alex's spring party at CHUM. We planned fun snacks for the kids: bunny mix, butterfly grape bags, and safe snicker doodle cookies. They also did a fun spring craft and played several games. At the end of the day, they had an egg hunt in the great room. It was a lot of fun!

Hello, Spring!

We have been enjoying a nice stretch of spring-like weather. On St. Patrick's Day, the boys built a Leprechaun trap in the yard. We weren't lucky enough to catch the trick little guy, but he did leave some green Hershey kisses. The boys have spent a lot of time outdoors riding bikes, scooters, and their 360s. We also had our first fire of the season! It was so nice to sit outside in the sun.

Mother Son Skate

On Saturday, William and I went to the Mother Son Skating event. I was actually in charge of it this year so we had to get there early for set-up. We still managed to go out to lunch at West Lake Drive-In before hand with Parker and Mrs. Grindall. The skating event was a lot of fun. Will was disappointed that he didn't win "Best Skater" again but understood that since I was in charge I couldn't give it to him! He was definitely zipping around the rink! The kids had fun with the limbo, chicken dance, and the number games. We also had a photographer there to take pictures of the moms and sons. After the event, we went out for ice cream and then all went to a friends house for pizza. It was a fun day for everyone!

Last Day of KOHA

Saturday was Will's last day of KOHA hockey for the season. After the game, they all got medals in the locker room. We are all sad to see the season end. William is already talking about playing U8 next year!
