Easter weekend was windy and cold, but we started it off with a neighborhood flashlight egg hunt in the dark anyway. It was a different twist on the typical hunt, and the kids enjoyed it. After about 15 minutes, they had scoured every inch of the field and we hurried back to a warm house to see what they'd found.
Come Easter morning, the kids awoke to find that the Easter bunny had visited during the night and filled their baskets with goodies, even for Owen, the skeptic. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of them in their Easter finest, but take my word that they looked great!
That afternoon we braved the wind and met some friends at a park for another hunt. Owen had a squatting hop technique that was super-efficient. So much so that he had to share some of his treasures with the littler kids.
Another month, another field trip for Hadley's class. This time we walked to the Museum of Idaho to see their Dinosaurs in Motion exhibit. Thankfully, the exhibit encouraged the kids to pull, push, and poke at the dinosaurs because it featured simple machines to move the metal skeletons.
Owen started an indoor flag-football season this month. He ran for 2 long touchdowns, blocked for teammates, and made several flag-pulls on defense. He's lined up in the back, usually as a running back or line backer, and they get to use the whole field and scoreboard. He was in his happy place, despite a pale pink team shirt!
Proud parents' moment: the kids' first washing dishes/loading dishwasher experience. Yay!
