Off to Kindergarten... Orientation

This is what she looked like when we left for Kindergarten Orientation! Can you believe that this little cherub, 5 years old and 33 pounds will be loading a bus for Kindergarten in the fall? It's hard to believe but she is so excited! I am dragging my heels a lot and just dreading my baby going off for a half day to school. She'll do really well, she's so smart and she loves to learn new things. I hope her teacher gets a great rest in over the summer because she can challenge the best of us!

Here comes Peter Cottontail...Hoppin' Down the Rabbit Trail

"I haven't dyed eggs for years!" said Paw Paw.
"Daaadddy, are the eggs ready for dying yet? Can we start? Huh, Huh, Huh?"

begged Sophie

"Nice and gentle, no need to stir them anymore." warned Daddy.

"Check out my egg!" said Scott.

Yep, that's a stick she's licking the snow off. I had to pull the camera away to stop her from doing it. "But mommy, just picking the snow up is cold in your hands!"
My Sophie meant to just have her picture taken but her sister had to just ham it up in the background. It was a beautiful day! Since this picture, the snow has melted. We have that wonderful spring rains that are falling. I truly believe that spring is finally here. Happy Easter!

Sophie's Photography...

Bought Sophie one of those kids' VTech cameras for Christmas. One of the best buys ever because she loves it. She takes some pretty creative pictures. This is just a few that she captured on a Sunday walk in the woods. She had her camera pointed to the sky for most of the trip, happily snapping away.

It's a Crazy Day!

This is Sydny, on February 29th before she went to school. Her teacher decided that since we were all celebrating Leap Year that her students should dress crazy. Sydni thought that meant to act ridiculous too! We also got to celebrate daddy's birthday. He is officially 8 years old and has 32 more years until he is old enough to drive. We had a big birthday bash with moms, dads, sisters, and brothers. My girls missed Aunt Sharon, but seeing cousins was nice too!
