April 19, 2014. Easter Egg Coloring. I got several fancy coloring kits, and we basically just dyed the eggs one color each.
Alex is trying some egg paint.
Look at the concentration on Nick's face!
Nana and Pop-pop help them out a lot.
It was fun! And I'm pretty sure more egg dye ended up on my hands than the egg I colored!
April 19, 2014 Nick and I did our first fun run this morning.
It was at Homestead Park, and it was cold!! It was about 46 degrees, which isn't too terrible, but very cold to stand around and wait. But we still had fun!
Nick giving me bunny ears before the race.
Finished!! With a finisher's medal, no less! I think this was the first time Nick ever tried to run a mile, and we did a lot of sprinting, then walking, then sprinting, then walking. Before the race, we talked about how slow and steady wins the race, but that didn't quite sink in. Perhaps next time. It was a lot of fun, and Nick was super proud of himself. In the car on the way home he asked, "Mom, why do I feel so great?" It was pretty awesome!

April 17, 2014 - picture day! Alex on the left, Nick on the right.
April 13, 2013 - Michael's birthday party at Dave and Buster's. The kids had a blast! That's Michael and Alex playing Mariocart.
April 12, 2014 - Michael was pretty excited about his amazon gift cards. I haven't seen him light up like that in a while!
March, 2014 Cub Scouts Pine box Derby. This was a big deal, and unfortunately I didn't realize it until too late. The boys' cars were ok, but we didn't try to weight them as we should have. As a result...
Neither child earned one of these. And there was much disappointment. This was what inspired Nick to do the fun run in April so that he might be able to get a medal. And he did!
They still had a pretty good time.
And even more fun playing before it started!
March, 2014 - the boys checking out Dave Ramsey's website on my computer.
March 16, 2014 "The Star Factor" at church. The boys practiced their songs and danced for month, and they put on a great performance! They were part of "the band." The child who normally played the shepherd didn't show up for the night performance, so they asked Nick to play his part. He did great! March, 2015 Pop- pop, Alex and Nick playing "in the middle."
