Flag Footbal

Tonight we wrapped up Flag Football.  It was kind of windy and sprinkled for a little bit, but they were able to get their last game in.  Matthias really enjoys football, so it is probably something we will sign him up for again.

Field Trip

Justus' class took a field trip to the St. Louis Zoo today.  Jon actually went with his class.  Jon and Justus both told me they had a lot of fun.  They did an animal scavenger hunt and were able to find all the animals on their list.

Last night of Soccer

Justus had his last night of soccer tonight.  We also forgot to put him in his soccer shirt....oops.  Now he's that kid in the wrong shirt in the team picture.  Oh well.  He didn't seem to care.

In Addition

In addition to Charley's new love for dogs, she has a new love for Neifi.  Notice how Neifi is trying to get away.  She is constantly grabbing him, picking him up, and petting him.  He hides from her a lot in our closet.

Baby Dedication

This morning at church was Baby Dedication Sunday.  As part of the celebration they brought in the pre-schoolers to sing a couple of songs.  Charley was so excited to be up on stage and to be able to see us in church.  She was, of course, the cutest girl up there.

Spring Fling

Today at the boys' school they had Spring Fling.  The K-2nd graders doing a few songs, and they have games and stuff set up.  The boys were really excited to go.   We kind of made a  day of it.  We got there early for the class performances.  We then played some games, ate lunch, won some cookies in the cake walk, and then got snow cones before heading home.  They were all pretty wiped out.

Didn't I Just Clean Up in Here?

Fridays are the day that I clean up the whole house.  I clean the other days of the week, too, but this is the day I pick up everything off the floor and vacuum.  A clean floor doesn't last long with three kids in the house.  Usually, it lasts until the boys get off the bus.

Celebrate

Tonight we decided to celebrate the good news of Jon's new job.  The plan was that while Jon was at flag football with Matthias I would go grab pizza from one of Jon's favorite places.  It is in about a 15-20 minute drive, so I was going to go pick it up and be back around the same time as he and Matthias.  Charley and Justus were with me, and when I opened the door to the garage to have them load up I noticed that the front passenger tire on the van was completely flat.  We have an air compressor, so I hooked it up, called Jon and told him there would be a delay in the plan.  Jon ended up meeting me at Wal-Mart while the tire was being patched.  He took the kids home and I went to grab the pizza.  We ate a little later than normal, but the pizza was still good, and it was still wonderful to celebrate Jon.
