Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!!
Here are a few pictures from the month of April.
Claire likes to dance!
Her first recital is coming up in May, and she is a pink butterfly!
She has a video she watches and copies, and I know she's only 3, but she is pretty good.
It's fun to watch her.
A few eventful things happened this month. Wyatt had his first haircut (hard for mom!), our family attended a Passover Seder with our good friends,
and Claire had to get 4 stitches when she split her chin open falling off of her bed - A full-speed lunge while attempting to hug Wyatt, who was a moving target.
It was a late bedtime after the Seder earlier that evening, and we headed to the ER around midnight. It was sad! But Claire was so brave.... I couldn't believe how well she did during the stitches, especially since she could feel everything. She was in a lot of pain, but she held very still for the doctors and was completely drenched in sweat by the end of the procedure, but she didn't move, and barely whimpered. I was very proud of her.
And afterwards she got a pink and red band-aid, and a Popsicle, so she was happy!
:)
And she will have a scar on her chin to match her Daddy's from when he was a little boy.
She thought that was pretty cool.
Josh started up soccer again.
This is his 2nd season playing soccer, since he started in the fall.
He is on a team with some kids from his kindergarten class, with one of his friends' dad as the coach. He is having fun playing games 1 day a week, and practicing 2 other days a week!
It is busy, but he likes it!
April started out pretty nice, and then we got snow again... a few inches!!
By mid-day this is all that was left, but the kids still managed to make this huge snowball
(the beginnings of a snowman).
I've had requests for Easter pictures, so I will show our Easter Sunday morning pictures now!
These were taken after church at my parents' house in Canada.
It rained earlier that morning, but turned out to be a beautiful day!
Claire's curtsy :)
This is the best family picture we were able to get...
The rest of these pictures were taken earlier in the week....
These pictures are from the Easter egg hunt the week before Easter.
Every year our good friends host this lil' shindig!!!
They have 3 acres and hundreds of eggs are hidden by all the parents!
This was Wyatt's first egg hunt.
He wasn't sure what to do with the eggs once he found them!!
Some of the parents got creative when it came to hiding the eggs.
But that didn't stop Claire!
Don't you hate it when there are no more eggs to be found?
And here are their spoils!
(I think the girls found more than the boys did!
Shhhh!!)
Easter weekend in Canada.
Lots of fun stuff!!!
We went to Springridge farm for lunch with Granny, and Wyatt got acquainted with a chicken!
He was pretty stoked.
My Dad made the kids shields so they could have knight battles in the driveway.
Later, the kids dyed Easter eggs.
To save their clothes, Grandad outfitted them with this new garb.
The bead socks are a nice touch, Claire! As were the ears.
Wyatt did NOT participate!!!!
We took the kids to see the movie "Hop" on Saturday as well.
The kids were kind enough to leave a "drum set" out for the Easter bunny, in addition to the usual carrots and water :)
We also learned from the movie that the Easter bunny poops jelly beans!
He left a token on the chair.
he he he
And one more easter egg hunt!!!!
It was a really nice weekend with my family, and we are so happy that spring is here!
