40 Days and 40 Nights

Didn't the bible say it rained for 40 days and 40 nights??? I keep wondering if we should start building an ark. Besides creating a small river in my basement, the rain has already put a damper on soccer season. Lexus still has yet to play a single soccer game and makeup games for both girls are running into June.

 Kimberly had dance pics taken last weekend, her costume is suppose to represent a bride. One of their dance recital songs is "Going to the chapel" and there is a boy in her class who is wearing a cute little tux. Kimberly is excited because she is one of two girls who link arms with the boy and walk across the stage.

 Last night, Austin was literally on cloud 9 after he found out he was going in the woods with Daddy and Uncle Matt to setup hunting stands and turkey blinds. He had to dress just like Daddy in all camo and have his own backpack filled with snacks and toys. He LOVED walking in the woods, seeing 3 deer and some turkeys with the BIG boys and getting all dirty.

 We took a chance and went to the Egg Hunt at the Fort today. I am so glad we did. The kids had fun and the rain held off till the very end.

Kimberly and I had a Mommy & Me night seeing "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse" by Playhouse in the Park. It was based off the Kevin Henkes books "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse" and "Julius". Besides being a super cute play, the tickets only cost $7 a piece...BARGAIN!

 The first graders are working on their service learning project selling reusable bags and promoting the three R's at school. Here is a poster Kimberly made with 2 classmates to hang in the cafeteria at school. The girls have both set personal goals for themselves for AR this year. Kimberly wants to reach 100 pts. and is now at 91 pts. Lexus wants to reach 400 pts. and is now at 365 pts. Now, we DON'T care if our kids read only the 25 points required per quarter at school or if they reach record breaking points. We DO care that our children are reading and developing a love of reading, no matter what form/genre it comes in. We DO care that they set their own personal goal and work towards it. We are sooooo proud of the girls for working towards their goal and getting pretty excited since both girls are so close to achieving it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and hopefully rain-free Easter!
