spring break, day one...

thankfully, today we have a project. dying eggs. as you see in the picture above, riley takes some coaxing to get motivated but he comes around (as did his shirt- i think it got twisted when he was doing this number on the floor)

it is interesting to see how your kids react to creative projects.

sadie began by nurturing the one egg that cracked in the boiling process. she carried it around in a napkin until it cooled and colored it pink so it would feel happy.

gates began by creating his annual "earth" egg. it's pretty cool i must admit. he uses markers instead of dye.

riley is in time out as i type because he had a slight nervous breakdown because his "mario" egg didn't take shape. he claims it looks fat...its an egg...creative projects make him an mess.

one down and 9 to go. can't wait till summer!!!

toothfairy business

she thinks she pulled it herself but it actually fell out in her hand. the day she lost it was also the day of her kindergarten open house. so my baby isn't a baby any more is she?

p*o*w*e*r...POWER

Most of you know the last few weeks of my life have been all about the musical "Power".

The Cross Point kids pulled it off and i honestly couldn't be more proud of them. They worked hard and in the end had that "we did it" look on thier face that can't be explained.

But i want to take a minute and be a mom and brag on my babies. I saw an attitude change in Riley, another trait learned in Gates and more flair added to Sadie than I thought possible!

As their mom, I am in love even more and thankful I get to be a part of seeing them develope so upfront and personal. I am blessed to not only have 3 amazing gifts from God but be bonded with some of your gifts too.
