Lucy's Birthday Party

 Lucy celebrated her birthday at preschool by bringing in cupcakes for everyone!

While Lucy was getting her picture taken, Chloe was demanding "Picture me, picture me!"

Lucy picked a Dora cake for her party with her friends.
 
With her cake...

We (I) made foam backpacks for all the girls which held some tools they would need to find the loot bags that Swiper the Fox stole.
 
 The table decorated for the party.

The guests are arriving and choosing a backpack.
 
 Playing games in the back yard.  

We are playing a guessing game to guess which tools are in the backpack.

Getting our butterfly glasses on so we can read the map and find the way to the missing treasure.
 
Spot 1:  The Flowery Meadow.  We must toss the balls into the baskets.
 
 Spot 2:  Alligator River.  We must get our stepping stones out of the backpack and use them to cross the river.

After crossing the river, we hurry to the bouncy castle to find the hidden loot bags!
 
Time to eat!
 

Hot dogs and steak sandwiches.
 
 The kids' table!


 Singing Happy Birthday!


 Time to blow out the candles!

She did it!
 


Presents!
 


What a wonderful day!

Charlie's Spring Concert

 Charlie's school had a spring concert on April 17th.  

The second graders.

Chloe, waiting for the show to start.


Posing...
Singing songs from Phineas and Ferb.

 The little rappers...


The cameraman (Phil) was having some issues, but the song was cute!

Happy Easter!

On Easter morning, the Easter bunny left a note for the kids telling them that he'd left some eggs hidden in the back yard.
 
On the hunt...
Judging by the huge grin, I think she's found some...
 



 Charlie finished first...

 Lucy, counting to see if she found all hers.

 I think Chloe found the last one!


Back inside with all their Easter goodies.
 
Including some new stuffies!

Charlie, full of treats and now onto the Ipad.
