LET'S CATCH UP!!

LET'S CATCH UP!! Our lives have been a whirlwind of activities lately! Here are some pictures to keep you up to date with what we have been doing over the last month...or so! Claire had a Spring Hat Parade in her class. She designed and decorated her paper plate into a grassy, flowery bird's nest with rattling eggs for that extra effect!





Occupation Day was a hit at East High Elementary. As you can see we have a future police officer...which should not surprise anyone. Ayden is ALWAYS concerned with following the law...i.e. "Claire, are you HAVE to be in a booster seat or Mommy will go to jail", OR "Mom, what would happen if you were pulled over for driving too fast?" Of course I don't say, "Mommy would beg the police officer to let me "go"...after all running two kids from here to there can be a little stressful!
Claire on the other hand is looking to orthodontics as her profession.....don't ask? I wouldn't even be surprised if she follows through with that dream!







A quieter moment at our house was celebrating Earth Hour. Earth Hour was started two years ago as an effort to conserve energy, and make a statement to stop global warming. Simply, you make the conscious effort to turn off everything electric for 1 -2 hours on this night. It was a lot of fun last year as the four of us sat in the dark trying to solve the world's environmental problems....we have such inventive kids!
This year Ayden and Claire decided to play the piano by candle light, sing songs, talk about earth hour, and even tried to read without electricity. They like to think about what it was like before electricity was even invented! We decided that it would be fun to do this more often, and maybe even make a party of it sometime! Maybe this Summer we can!

On a NOT SO QUIET night at our house, the kids had a boxing match....
against their viscous father!

Needless to say the kids won!!

St Patrick's Day food!! YUM YUM! It really was tastier than it looks!! Can't you tell by Ayden's face?
