Sorry we are doing a lot of week/weekends in review around around here, but life keeps happening and I am trying to record what's going on as fast as possible, which means we have to look at everything at a glance...stay tuned...this summer I am going to make myself get back to daily blogging or at least that's the plan as of right now ;).
First, we'll start with Avery's 1st grade musical. He was the very cute official "Billy Goat #2". Oh you can't see him you say...
There he is singing his little heart out :).
And here's his very official one line he had in the musical. {If you can't understand it, he says, "And what do you think would ruin our day."} Yes, a very important role :)...and way out of Avery's comfort zone...but he survived!
Another day and another soccer game. Both of my boys played goalie on Saturday and neither of them let a point get scored on them! Our Silver Knights are still undefeated!!!
Then we rushed straight from soccer to Ryan's work's Easter egg hunt!
These kids are old pros at this!
Happy campers with more candy!
If a soccer game and an Easter egg hunt weren't enough for one Saturday morning we also had family pictures taken! No sneak peeks yet, but hopefully I will get to show you something soon! Of course my kiddos were bribed to behave for pictures {yes, we are all for bribery around here!!}...which means we had to go buy them their winnings {gum} after pictures were over. We headed over to our new Hyvee, where everyone and their brothers have been hanging out for the past week in our town ;).
Yes, we all love it...yes, it is a grocery store, but it is pretty fancy one at that :). {Don't worry devoted blogger followers Aldi is still my favorite grocery store...no worries I am not straying...it will still be my main grocery store...the nee Hyvee is kind of like Target...it's fun to go in and look around and buy things you don't really need!} While we were there we happened to run into KC Wolf {non KC friends, he's the mascot for the KC Chiefs}. In the past Ellie has not been a fan of mascots...she had a melt down last summer when the Chik-fil-a cow tried to wave to her. Well he didn't get too close, but she did wave at him...so it looks like we are making progress...the Little Debbie his assistant gave her probably helped out a little.
Don't worry we aren't done with Saturday yet...
A quick change of clothes and then this happened...picking up a load of free compost. If you know us at all {what I really mean by this is Ryan} then you know this means another yard project is in the works. And if you have been around here long and have paid attention to our his recent obsession with our gardening then you can probably guess what's happening in our backyard. {If you still don't get it look at what happened in the last picture of this blog post ;).}
Evan's favorite part is always climbing on top of the mountain of dirt.
Saturday ended in our springtime ritual...frog hunting in our own backyard. Yes, our little pond is a HUGE frog magnet and we have to haul off {aka we dump them at a nearby park} a bucket load of frogs every year! The kids make a game out of who can spy the most frogs.
Then Sunday after church looked like this. This is a picture of three kiddos going CRAZY because they have reached that point in Lowe's {you will know that point if you have ever done any home improvement projects and you bring your kids shopping with you...our kids have hit this point a lot in this store :)} when enough is enough. This goes along with the dirt pictures from up above.
Since the three crazy kids had reached their "point" I spent the rest of the trip to Lowe's waiting in the truck with the three crazy kids...I did mention they were crazy, right?! The storm clouds blowing in were kind of creepy!
We will finally end the weekend with some pretty springtime flowers from our yard...which I had to pick because we are getting SNOW tomorrow...yes you read that right, and no I don't want to talk about that anymore!
