The Past Week

It is nice to be at the end of what was a very busy week!  Our busiest two days of the week tend to be Monday and Tuesday as we have the most activities those days. And when Steve works both of those days, as he did this week, it makes it even more difficult, busy, and stressful for me!  But we survived with a messier than normal house, and the laundry not getting done until Friday! 


One of the highlights of the year at Awana for the kids is Drive-In movie night!  Each child is to come to Awana with a "car" made from a box to sit in while the group watches a movie.  This year Faith wanted a race car, and Shane wanted a fire engine.  Thankfully, Steve had some red spray paint, so that got the decoration process started!  And since I am not crafty in the least bit, we went and bought stickers at Michael's for the kids to use to finish the decorating!  They each had a great time and really enjoyed making their box cars!
 
On Thursday afternoon we went to a play date at my friend Julie's house.  Both kids were thrilled to see their friend Miles!  Julie's daughter Isabella made an Easter egg hunt for all the kids, which proved to be hours and hours of fun!  Faith and Shane continued to hide the eggs they took home in our yard and throughout our house!  They are really looking forward to the egg hunt at church next Sunday!
 
If you look closely, at the top of the Avocado tree you can see Steve!  He climbed up there to pick the avocados at the very top of the tree!  While he assured me it was safe and secure, I couldn't watch as it made me too nervous!
 
In the midst of all our activities, we are finding a little time to watch some of the March Madness!  Faith was quite upset this morning as I read off the scores so far for our family (we all filled out a bracket - even Olivia!), as she was in fourth place, only ahead of Olivia!  But after today's games, she is inching closer to Shane, so that made her happier!  We're all glad Michigan is doing well!  Go Blue!
