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!

Manners

Our friend, Diane, did something really nice for Schmoo AND brought him a special treat to church. Schmoo likes to draw during church so I leaned over and suggested that he draw a picture or write a thank you note to Diane, who was sitting right behind us.

He drew a lovely picture of a little boy flying a kite under a rainbow. He added the words "Thank you" to it and handed it back to Diane. She leaned forward and complimented the picture and asked if it was for her.

Schmoo smiled and batted his eyes and said "Yes." Then one breath later added, "My mom forced me to do it."

She just busted out laughing while I gave him dirty looks. She said she loves the little kid honesty...me, not so much!

Student of the Month!

We were so happy to find out that Schmoo was chosen as Student of the Month for February at his school!!! His teacher said he was chosen because he is making great choices and is working very hard at his school work. He is such a great kid and we couldn't be prouder of him! I would post the photo of him with his certificate but it's got his name on it. You can see it on Facebook :)

Besides his certificate, he got to eat lunch today with the principal and afterwards was treated to an ice cream sundae! He was so happy :)

Tball

Ok so we're going to give Tball a try! Who wants to buy a $5 raffle ticket so we can play?!?!? Your ticket will go into 40 drawings for $250. You know how to get ahold of me :)
