Scooby Snacks

Today the kids had "Scooby Snack" graham crackers after school. They decided to pretend they were dogs and try to toss the treats off their noses and catch them in their mouths. In the end they ate a lot of broken doggie bones, but they sure had fun!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

There's no escaping the fact that these are the real reason Lee married me. It's a good thing he's found some better reasons to STAY married, because I don't make them half as often as he'd like!

He is Risen Indeed!

Easter is such a celebration of new life! I have to say, it's my favorite holiday. It's the best Sunday of the year at church, everything so joyful and filled with hope.

We enjoyed brunch with Dayna and the boys and some friends, and then back to Dayna's house for the annual egg hunt. And of course, the Master's, complete with a champion who reminded all of us that more importantly it was Easter. How great is that!

My first digital (mini) scrapbook!

OK, here goes! Benjamin helped me make this first scrapbook, so of course it's about tigers. This is the cover. To see the whole thing, click here.

It's here!!! (again)

My new computer is finally here! We've ordered it, received it, sent it back, and received a new one. Couldn't be simple, you know, but I have it! Yea. I'm going to keep this short because I want to play, but maybe I'll get something really creative for you to look at before long...

Never a dull moment

Benjamin is never without a game to play. He had a few minutes before school this morning, so he found two teams (the pets and the cars) and two goals (plastic lunchmeat containers) and a ball, and had a soccer game at "Stuffed Stadium", complete with a running play-by-play commentary. He was still giving the first half highlights on his way out the door to the bus stop. "The score is 5-4...the pets are winning!" I guarantee he will run straight back to it the second he comes in the door from school. You just never know what it will be on any given day, but his heart is always 100% invested in it!

A special visit

We had a fun surprise visit from our nephew Joey, who came for spring break from school in Arkansas. Turns out Minnesota was Plan C after A and B fell through at the last minute...but we're not bitter. ;-) The kids were wowed by Joey's card tricks, and are convinced he is a real magician. We are looking forward to more time with him and the Africa side of the family when they all return in summer!
