Monday catch up

I am behind on everything.  Chores, blog, scrapbook, PTO stuff.  I need to manage my time better, but with this pretty weather who wants to do the not so fun stuff.  We have had a very busy weekend.  It started with the Moppets (that's what they call the MOPS kiddos)  Easter Party.  Sylvie had a BLAST.  The cake walk was her favorite.  The music would play and the kids would walk around and when the music stopped they were standing on a number.  If your number was drawn you got the pick a Little Debbie out of the basket.
Then she decorated her own cookie.  She had more fun eating it.


She did not get the whole hunt for eggs thing.  She was giddy with the excitement around here but she just wanted to run and play.  When I got her to pick up a few eggs she wanted to put them in other kid's baskets.

Saturday was the first day of flag football.  It was a gorgeous day for it.  Peyton had a lot of fun.  Dalton had fun but I think he was a little disappointed.  The team he is on has a lot of kids that have played tackle football every fall.  So Dalton is not he dominant player of the team like he was last year.  I think he will learn a lot from his coaches though.

Peyton is trying to catch the ball in this picture.

Sylvie managed.  She wanted to RUN.  She was wearing me out.  I put her in the stroller and made her happy with dipping potato chips in water.  Yuck.

Sunday the boys both had birthday parties to go to.  So most of the afternoon was spent toting them to and from parties.  Dalton was cracking me up.  He got this pair of sunglasses as his party favor and thought he was bad to the bone.  Confidence vs cocky...it is a fine line.  Ha!

Finally Sunday evening I got to relax in the backyard and just watch this sweet little girl play.  I am sooo thankful for my fenced in back yard. I would be lost without it.  She can run and I can relax.  I turned the water hose on a little for her and she entertained herself for 30 minutes just filling up this bucket and taking it the various locations and dumping it out.

Precious.

We are finally getting to do Sylvie's little birthday celebration tonight.  We are taking her to make her first Build a Bear.  She loves stuffed animals so I think she will really enjoy it.
