Hunting for Eggs

This past weekend was busy as we attended 3 egg hunts and Chuckie Cheese. Saturday Morning was the one downtown, then Uncle Bob joined us for the second one in the afternoon at Custard King. Megan and Meredith are egg hunters where Annalyse, not so much. After the second hunt, we all went up to Port Huron because I stole someone's mouse and I had to return it back to the office. Since we were up there, I treated Bob and girls to some games at Chuckie Cheese. OK OK OK, I really wanted to go to play the games, not Bob and the girls. Now I got that off my chest. We ate dinner, headed to Sam's Club and then home. Sunday included another egg hunt in the rain. Annalyse was a little more into it, but not much. Overall, the weekend went well, we signed Megan up for 9 more weeks of gymnastics. She really is doing very well, which she must get that from Alison, as I can barely walk in a straight line.

Easter Bunny

We went to Morley Candy to see the Easter Bunny today. It has become a tradition for the last few years. It was a pretty successful picture, all three girls looking and smiling - can't beat that. They also had free face painting (it was amazing how fast she could paint someones face, it only took her a minute or two for Megan's) and balloon "sculptures." They also had a lot of free samples, so much that Mike even passed some chocolate up at the end.

What else is going on...
Megan is still LOVING gymnastics, she is getting quite good at handstands and cartwheels (maybe she doesn't take after Auntie Annette after all :) She had to miss gymnastics on Thursday, she came sown with teh flu on Wednesday night. I guess I have learned o clean up puke by fire (this was our first experience with kids having the flu in our house - I guess it's not too bad since Megan is almost 6). She went to school on Friday and seemed fine and then she got sick on Friday night again. We had to miss our friend's Lauren birthday party on Saturday. It was at a gymnastics place so I am sure all of the girls would have had a great time. Oh well, some things happen.

The twins are communicating so much more and they are talking clearer, can't think of anything right now but some things they have been saying crack me up - they sure are taking evrything in and are much smarter than we give them credit for. Annalyse can spell her name no problem, Meredith is getiing better and better but still has some problems.

Skating and Snow Fort

Grandma and Grandpa brought the twins back on Thursday. They had a fun time Up North. On Saturday morning, Grammy and Papa got to watch Megan at gymnastics and then Saturday night we went to dinner and then Disney on Ice. The girls loveg the show, they were excited to see the characters. The twins were worried when the different characters were not on the ice at all times.









On Sunday, Mike made a snow fort with teh girls in the front yard. Actually, Mike made the fort and the girls enjoyed it when he was done. But unfortunately, tonight the fort is almost melted.





Before the girls went outside, they had to use the potty - two at a time!

SNOW DAY! NOT!

Megan and I had high hopes for a snow day, I think my hopes may have been a little higher than hers. We got about 4-5 inches of heavy, wet snow but it came a little too late for school to be canceled (at least ours). When I woke Megan up, I told her I had bad news - we had to go to school, no snow day. I told her the even worse news, her neighbor friends had the day off (our home district had a snow day), she was not disappointed in the least - she said, "at least we get to go to school and learn." My little scholar sure loves to learn. I am not sure how much she learned today, the school was pretty sparse, I had 10 stduents absent!
After school today, we made the most of the snow and made a snowman. Mike was able to get out of work a little early so we had some fun in the snow before dinner. Hard to believe we got this much snow after having a beautiful weekend. Yesterday we walked around teh zoo in 45 degrees and sunny weather!

The Things You Learn from Kids...

Hey if your blow-dryer ever stops working, you can always use the heating vent in the floor.

Megan had to decorate a bag for fill with items for her "Secret Valentine" for her party at school on Thursday. We took out my scrapbook paper scraps and had some fun!



Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day. The girls and I are heaaded to the UP on Thursday/Friday. Hopefully we have good weather for traveling and some snow for sledding.
