Tuesday, August 30th...

The girls were SUPER excited to go back to school... Jared, not so much ;)

We had a great morning so that made it much easier for Mom!

Field Trip

I got to chaperone Chloe's Kindergarten class to the MLC production of The Ugly Duckling. It was a great performance and the kids had a lot of fun!

Ready and waiting for the show to start!

We spotted one of Chloe's friends, MaKenna.

Easter 2015

We started the weekend with the traditional Friday night egg dying contest at Roger & Patty's.

The kids' competition...

Jared made it to the finals and ended up getting 2nd place with the maroon and white egg on the end...

The adults competition was intense, as usual. My 2 eggs made it to the finals (back row,4th and 5th from left) but I ended up getting 2nd and 3rd. 

These are the eggs. We used pieces if silk ties and wrapped them and then boiled them to transfer the pattern. It was something it saw on Pinterest.  Kinda fun!

Saturday morning I took the girls to town for the Easter Egg Hunt at German Park. Chloe was a machine; filling her basket with all the candy she could grab. Morgan picked up 3 pieces of candy, dropped her basket by my feet and took off for the jungle gym. What a little stinker! They got to meet Snow White and pet real bunnies. Chloe wanted to bring one home but I was able to convince her that Dozer might think it was his Easter treat ;)

Easter Sunday was pretty low-key. We went to chuch, had brunch at Roger & Patty's and then came home to find all of the eggs the Easter Bunny hid around the yard. It's my most favorite part... all 3 of the kids get SO excited finding them. It was cool and windy but they had a blast!

Love them!!

Class of 2027

Chloe's Kindergarten class was interviewed about what they wanted to be when they grow up...

Yep, she wants to be a Lipstick Salesperson! When I asked her about it she said she wants to make people pretty like her auntie Kelly (cosmetologist). Gotta love her imagination!! ;)
