The Peeps are Coming!

 The kids have a weird Easter break this year.  It is from Wed. to Wed.  Not a fan.   I so wish we had all of next week off! 

 Yesterday we headed over to Gramma and Grandpa’s for our annual egg hunt.  Megan had the boys re-hide the eggs several times for her.  Hunting is definitely her thing.

  

 

 

 

Harvey made these planters for Gramma.  I think he needs to make me some too!

 

 

 

So we have been busy putting our Peeps displays together.  I’m quite proud!  No light sabers this year.

 

 

So it hasn’t rained for like 5 years and yet somehow we have an 80% chance for tomorrow when I have 28 people coming for Easter.  Good thing there are only 14 children 10 and under.  Man I need a basement!

They Won!

 The boys are watching the World Series.  Again.

I am loving the baseball schedule this season.  It was so nice not having to split for a tournament on Sat.  We were able to get a lot done around the yard.  It’s been a couple of years since we planted anything.  We put in several tomato plants.  Hope we will have water for them.  We are having mandatory water reduction.  Bummer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can’t believe I just sent out an email about our end of the year party.  The boys’ school finishes in May.  I will have a 5th grader!  Only two weeks until he turns 10. 

Family time

It was so nice to go to the game together and not split up between the boys’ games this week.  Harvey is helping with the team, so I am still in charge of Megan by myself.  That’s actually a little more challenging than it sounds.  Fortunately, I am a top notch parent.

 

 

 

 

 

 Yep

 

 

 

 

 

Any Ideas?

I can’t figure out why I can’t keep my kitchen clean.

Run!!!

   So we got to watch Erik’s first inning.  Everyone on his team got a hit right away.  Several didn’t quite know what to do after that…

It was in the 80s, which was nice in our wedding clothes! 

 

 

This little guy knows what to do.

 

This picture is hilarious!

 

This one is too cute!

My kids know where the camera is!! : )

Tomorrow is a nice and simple day.  Megan has ballet in the morning and we have 1 baseball game!  The whole family gets to go watch Erik.  I am so happy with fewer games this season. 

Parenting 101

Our neighbor (and previous teammate) was a guest player the last two tournaments.  We are hoping he joins our team.  He can play any position well…and we’re in serious need of one several of those players!  And I wouldn’t mind a carpool buddy!
 

An example of our awesome parenting at the games…

Bad Uncle

I was talking to my brother last week and mentioned Erik was having his first game and that we were going to miss the last half.  He offered to stay for the game and then to take Erik out to do something fun.  Well that checked off a big one in all of my planning for our weekend...YEAH!

 

Apparently he decided this would be a teaching time:

 

He was sweet enough to take video as well.  It seems Ryan lucked out that he doesn’t use a top sheet!  I’ve been told that everyone has a ‘bad uncle’ and he decided to fill that spot.  Knowing his extensive high school rap sheet makes me a little nervous!
