catch a leprechaun

mason's class broke up into teams to build traps for the leprechaun who had made all sorts of trouble in their classroom.

his teacher shared these pictures and mason told us all about it when he got home. it was a very good day. love.

solitaire

while waiting for madelyn's class to be finished, i taught the boys how to play solitaire. keeping old school alive. love.

preschool easter parties

since i spent the valentine's day parties with manning's class, i promised maddux that i would spend the easter party with him. it wasn't so much a "party" as a snack and an easter egg hunt. his teacher was saying that it fell so weird being on st. patrick's day. all of the kids were in green, but doing easter themed crafts.

the kids all had maddux' favorite donuts. these are pricy little donuts and most of the kids didn't even eat them! it was hurting the moms watching as almost every single child threw away both of their donuts - most without even tasting them. i intercepted maddux' and had them for my breakfast.

the kids were pretty excited about the egg hunt. the weather kept us indoors but they still took a little bit of time to come up with six each.

maddux was so excited to have me there. and i got to see him share his "show and tell."

madelyn might have suggested it, but he really did want to bring madelyn's 'tomb' craft. love.

palm sunday donkey

manning was super excited to show me the fun little donkey he made in school today for palm sunday. although he did keep calling it a "camel."

look at this sweet angel face sleeping. love.

the pool was a little cold

orange you glad it's tuesday?

as we were unloading from the van at preschool this morning, i realized that the boys and i were all wearing orange! imagine our surprise when madelyn got home and we saw that she was wearing orange too! we were all feeling the need to brighten things up this morning. love.

manning and i took our orange to the polls this morning too thanks to a fun* episode of vomiting at the ymca last night.

twinning

manning missed me so much this afternoon (double birthday party duty), that he wanted to wear his shoes that matched mommy. love.
