First T Ball Game

This past weekend, we had Jack's very 1st tball game. It was So. Much. Fun!!!
we all enjoyed it so much and Jack loves playing tball!

Below are 2 videos from the game. The first video is a pre-game "go team" cheer and the second video is Jack getting his very first hit at a game!
Jack got a hit both times at bat. His first time on base, he made it to 3rd and was tagged out =( The second time, he made it home and scored a run! He loved that!!!
I have tried SEVERAL times to upload pictures from the game (and you know there are A LOT) but blogger is not cooperating at all. Is anyone else having trouble uploading pics to blogger???

Anywho...enjoy the videos (be sure to pause the music player at the bottom to fully enjoy them) I will continue to try to get the pictures to upload.








I also updated the recipe blog with a new recipe. Since this is the week leading up to Easter, I thought I would share some yummy side dishes that would compliment your dinner.

Craft time

Since today is Palm Sunday, I wanted to do a little craft with the kids relating to the Palm Sunday story. We talked about what today is and we talked about the events leading up to Easter Sunday. I know that they may only be repeating to me what I taught them, but maybe, just maybe it is sinking in. =)

Below are some pictures of the kids making Palm leaves.


Madeline is so excited to get started.


Jack LOVES craft time!


Jack busy cutting away.


Daddy had to help Madi a little with her cutting.


Almost finished.


Like the nice boo-boo on Madi's nose??? Yea, my adventure seeking daughter thought it would be fun to take the cushions off the couches then jump from couch to couch...well...she missed a landing and this is the mark =) Let's hope it is gone by Easter. ;)


Jack's finished leaves.

After we finished the leaves, I let the kids retell the Palm Sunday story to me and act out laying the leaves down...very cute.

So, what are some activities your family does to prepare for Easter Sunday?

Wouldn't You...

Wouldn't you like to enjoy sound sleep like this???




I know I would!

Lil Miss is not...I repeat...is not a morning person. She strongly dislikes having to wake up in the morning to take her brother to school. I am sure my neighbors often wonder what in the world is going on at our house if they hear her crying as I put her in the car. It is just simply that she is not ready to be up. She begs for me to leave her...uh yea right...not going to happen. Eventually she calms down...like when we return home from dropping Jack at school. When we do return home...she gets in "mommy/daddy big bed", makes her a comfy spot (aka the entire bed) and she goes back to sleep. Even if I wanted to lay back down with her, I could not because she really does take the entire bed. Guess it is a good thing because it forces me to get things done (or play on the internet) ha!

I shared this photo on FB the other day and my dad commented he would pay good money for sleep like this...me too, dad, me too! Who wouldn't???
