Soccer

 Soccer started on the 7th with practice.


 It was a decent day.

 The 11th was the first game and it was in the 40's with a very cold, strong wind.  I froze.  Matthew didn't because of his gloves, hat and layers.  He was the only child with a hat and gloves.  Some kids came in shorts and t-shirt.  Crazy.

Today is our next game.  The last one was cancelled, I'm assuming because it was in the 30's with wind chills in the 20's.  Luckily the wind is strong, but it's not as cold.

Easter

 This year we decided to use crayon shaving to decorate own Easter eggs.


 They were alot of work, but they were pretty.

 Easter morning dawned, the Easter bunny arrived.

 A whole pail full of eggs.  Plastic that is.  While getting ready for church, Matthew came in and said, "Mom did the Easter Bunny really come or did you hide those eggs, because they were the same eggs we bought!"  I had to make up an excuse about how the parents buy the eggs and the bunny fills and hides them.  Then he said, "What I want to know is where is the eggs we dyed!"  So I told him they were safe in the fridge.  Well he was all bent out of shape because he wanted to hunt them too.  So, I think Matthew doesn't really believe in the bunny anymore.

 Easter egg hunt at church.

 Posing with all the other kids.

After church we went to a big buffet for lunch and Matthew got his napkin all ready to dig in!  That was the last beautiful day.  It's been rainy and cold ever since.  We had snowflakes in the air Thurs.
