Dax's Program

Dax had his Kindergarten Program this week. He was even asked by his teacher to do a speaking part. He practiced it till he had it memorized but I think he got a case of stage fright. Take a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP8AnFF7h-0

Chase walking

Chase has been walking for about 2 weeks but it is really hard to get it on video when you are the only one home. Because by the time you get him set up and the camera going he has already walked the whole distance.

Finding the basket

Annabelle found the egg with the clue for the baskets. It is really cute to watch, Judd would read a clue and Dax would have to think about each clue and Annabelle would just yell out the answer. The baskets ended up being in the dryer.

The Hunt

Dax wrote a note to the Easter bunny asking him if he could hide the eggs on Saturday so his dad could be around. And when they woke up on Saturday The yard was covered with eggs. The kids had a really hard time waiting for Judd to get home from work so we let them open their presents from Grandma Judy and poppops. Dax got a really cute movie that I let them watch till Judd got home. Then they were off. Each year there seems to be more and more eggs. This year the bunny didn't even do any candy. It was all toys. They found jewelry, animals, baths beads, bubbles, tops, and a puzzle eggs.

Coloring Easter Eggs

Dax was really into coloring eggs this year. We had a lot of fun. He tried really hard to make an Earth egg for his friend Talia it just ended up a blueish green. He also made an ABC egg that ended up cracking. He did a really good half and half egg and a striped egg. Annabelle on the other hand always ended up with a pink egg no matter what color her eggs started out to be.

Annabelle's school Easter party

Annabelle Celebrated Easter at her school. They made Easter baskets out of eggs cartons which I thought was a great idea then the kids could only get 12 eggs and I didn't have to count them a hundred times. Annabelle made quick work of finding all her eggs then we went to see the Easter bunny. She gave him her orange sparkly egg and he gave it to another kid and tried to give Annabelle a pink one. But she wouldn't have it. She started to cry and wouldn't take any other egg. I had to trade eggs with another girls. Then she wouldn't go near the Easter bunny again. She just wanted to go home.

Music Easter Party

Annabelle's music class had an Easter party. They sang songs. Then had an Easter egg hunt, did a pinata and got treats. Annabelle normally hates music class but she loved the party. She found so many eggs I kept having to take some out and re hide them. During the pinata she hit it so hard that the pinata fell off the rope. No candy came out though. Dax was really jealous of her Easter eggs but she was nice and shared her candy with him.

Annabelle's Stitches

Annabelle can never get enough dancing. I was upstairs with Chase,she and Dax were downstairs dancing to music when I heard this loud crash and then Annabelle crying. I thought that if it was bad they would come and get me. Annabelle came upstairs and said she hit her head and it hurt. I held her for awhile. Then took her downstairs to get Dax ready for gymnastics. When I carried her into the kitchen Dax said look mom Annabelle is bleeding. I turned her around and there was so much blood. It was all over her hair. I started freaking out and calling all of Judd's numbers but he was not answering. When my friend came to pick up Dax she tried to help me find the cut but there was to much blood. She said not to worry because heads bleed a lot. But she told me which doctors were home at the moment. Then Judd finally called and told me it would be okay and to wait till he got home. So for 1 1/2 hours Annabelle laid on my lap with an ice pack on her head while chase cried because he had a fever and was teething. It was not a good day. Judd got home and stitched her up in the kitchen while Dax cried because he was worried that Annabelle would cry. He did 4 stitches. While it happened Annabelle was so good she held still the whole time and didn't even cry. The next day when I asked her if her head hurt she said" No Mom, Daddy fixed it."
