Chicks & A bunny

OK, after a couple of attempts, let's hope this works. Here's some of what we have been up to this past week.

• FHE consisted of making "chicks" I snagged this idea from a 5K class I substituted in. We also worked on Spencer's articles of faith. He's doing really well. He has his card in the car and reads them while we ride.
• Check out Tim, he's a "closet-scrapbooker" :)
• Sawyer is bottle-free; just cups, and look at what he does to them, takes them apart
  

Here's our finished chicks. Cute huh?




We also ventured out to Columbiana Center on Saturday to see the Easter Bunny...along with the hundreds of others. The mall was packed, but we managed to have a good time...eat some yummy lunch and take a ride...

Don't panic, Tim is kneeling beside Sawyer.

On our way back home, we stopped off for Tim to run in at Maurice's and get him a sandwich. Thank goodness we stopped. Because whenever we came back home through Elgin, the tornado had just touched down. See, we were in the drive thru and Tim decided he would just walk inside instead of wait in the drive thru line. This, of course took longer, so if we had rushed right home, we would have been right in the path of the storm. We were in a tornado years ago in our mobile home, and I do not wish to go through that again...especially in a car with the kids.

As far as my pregnancy....ALL IS WELL! Little baby "S" is growing AND moving quite a bit. Everything is on target and expected to deliver by c-section sometime the beginning of June. Wasitbands are snug to say the least, but the "eatin' is good!" Thank goodness I still have several weeks to go, because we still haven't decided on a name. Any "S" suggestions?

I hope everyone has a Happy St Patrick's Day and a good week!

Spencer's FHE

Since I am always telling you the silly things Spencer says and does, I thought I should share our experience last night. Tim, Sawyer & I were treated to FHE planned by Spencer. He decided that we should all write down how we feel about each other. This is something we started back at Sullivan's 5th birthday, but over time we stopped doing it. Anyway, he had paper for everyone to divide into 4 squares and then write why each family member is special. This was really neat. Sawyer enjoyed coloring on his paper and tearing his paper.
Sorry :( no pictures to share.

MADD Candlelight Vigil

Sawyer & I lighting our candles at the MADD Candlelight Vigil on Saturday.
Lyndsey & Aleah lit Grandaddy's candle for him while Grandma was wrestling Sawyer in the row behind us.
Something different they did this year that I really appreciated was having everyone who lit a candle in memory of someone to go to the front and announce who they were lighting the candle for.

A special thanks to the Law Enforcement who were there to share this occasion with us. I went to them afterwards to introduce myself and say "THANKS" and the first guy I came to looked very familiar, but having met so many Officers, I didn't figure it out right away, and it was Jason, Tequilla's husband. I am so appreciative to all of the Law Enforcement for putting their lives on the line to protect and to serve. Especially when they have families and small children of their own. Thank you so much for all that you do. A lot of these guys were not "on duty" but they felt it a need to attend and show their support. "THANK YOU!!"

Playhouse Disney

We decided last minute on Friday to go the the Playhouse Disney Live Show at the Township Auditorium. We went to the early show, thinking that would work out better for everyone. And overall, it did. However, Sawyer only had one brief nap all day, so he was a little antsy and squirmy. The show seemed to fly by. The kids really enjoyed the show...and we adults did too!

What is going on? Where are we?

Oh What A Night!

Thursday night was Math Night at School. Spencer really enjoyed all of the activities Mrs. Blankenship had for the kids to do. After he visited each station in his classroom, we headed over to the Media Center for the Scholastic Book Fair. He had previewed the sale and knew exactly what book he wanted...a dog book! Who'd have guessed that?
