First TBall Game

Last night was Schmoo's first TBall game.  It was fun and I think the coach must have more patience than a million of me.

He was crying for some reason or another before we left home but then started laughing after daddy and I kept laughing and saying, "There's no crying in baseball!" 



He is pointing to remind himself where 2nd base is.  

His frantic run for 3rd base.  Yeah, the player for the "Reds"  really looks worried. 

Interpretive Tball dance.

If only they played as serious as they look.

Homemade Angry Birds Cupcakes

Schmoo is in a MAJOR Angry Birds phase.  We don't let him play it 'on screen' that much, but he also plays it with his stuffed birds, with his fingers in the air, etc.  Angry Birds cupcakes were the only option for his birthday. 

I got the original ideas from  The crafting chicks, but since Granny was around, I had her make some changes with the things I didn't love. 

(eyes are mini marshmallows squished with mini chocolates chips inserted.  Under the bluebirds eyes are twizzler pull and peel, cut into triangle pieces and cut in half.  Beaks are from orange slice candies.  Snouts are big marshmallows cut in half and iced. Teeth are mini marshmallows in pieces.)

 (Black eyebrows are icing, red eyebrows are twizzler pull and peels.  Chests are white icing.)

The birthday celebrations

 The oh so many birthday celebrations...  Schmoo decided that instead of a party this year he wanted a "family fun day".  We ended up taking more than one family fun day because of unexpected days off for daddy.

On the way to the aquarium.







 

 

 His choice of restaurants:  Pei Wei.  Can't say I didn't love it, too :)

Then the next day we ended up at the boardwalk...just because we could.

Then Granny and Papa came for the birthday.  Schmoo taught Papa how to play all my Kindle games

Granny was the mastermind behind the angry birds cupcakes

 

At school, sharing the cupcakes :)

It is time to learn to ride a bike!  It was a present that we insisted he choose...

And then the other presents, 99% angry birds related :)

For the birthday dinner...Red Robin, two years running

Coolest card from Aunt Cathy and Uncle David!

His birthday marks the end of the holiday season...so there will be no more partying til Halloween!

Easter

 Easter was pretty low key this year. 

We dyed eggs

I took a peak at the Easter basket before schmoo got up.  

 

And after

 

Getting ready for a little in-apartment egg hunt.   








Listening to a clue about where things were hidden

 

 Included in the hunt were the treats that Grandma and Grandpa sent :)

The best hiding place was in the lemon tree

 And after it all. 

Easter Parade

I don't really know why they do the "Easter Parade" at school.  The little boys hate it...and they tell the parents to come up to the school...for a 5 minute walk around.  Anyway, there is only 1 child in Schmoo's kinder class that was in his pre k class.  They were partners last year for the parade and lo and behold this year too.  That's strange enough..but I went back and looked at the photos and he is wearing the same random Canada shirt both years too!  Weird. 

Tball

Schmoo is going to play Tball :0 So excited to see this happen, you gotta love little kid sports! So who wants to buy a $5 raffle ticket so the cutest kid ever can play Tball? ($5 ticket goes into 40 drawings for $250)

Super Reading

We got a note in schmoo's folder yesterday saying that the superintendent would be visiting his class today. His teacher chose him to read a book to her and the class. She snapped a couple of pics with her phone and sent them to me saying he was awesome. We are so proud of him!
