Happy Birthday, Hethe, and GO DUKE!

Hethe always sings "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" when March Madness rolls around.  This year just happened to be more wonderful than most when the Duke Blue Devils won the National Championship on April 5, 2010.  It was an early birthday present for their biggest fan.  Go Duke!

Easter!

Yes, I realize Easter was two months ago.  And yes, I realize Hayden standing on his head doesn't have much to do with Easter.  But he is wearing his Easter shirt...

Bowling for Dragons

        

        

Who knew bowling shoes could look so cute?  I don't know why it never occurred to me that a five- and two-year-old would like bowling, but they were sold from the moment we walked in the door.

Over Easter weekend, my family decided to go see a matinee of the "Dragon" movie.  We'd been waiting for this movie for months.  When we got there, it was freezing cold and the line at the theater was well out into the parking lot.  The manager came out and said it would probably be sold out before we got to the head of the line, so we came up with a plan B.  Noah didn't quite understand why we couldn't see the movie, and was devastated, but as soon as we stepped into the bowling alley his eyes got wide and there were no more tears.

We had a blast, and decided it was so much more fun to spend time that way as a family instead of sitting in a dark theater not talking.  And don't worry, we did eventually see the "Dragon" movie and it was well worth the wait.

 

Things I Know...

I know that laundry can spontaneously generate.

I know that when I was 2 and 5, I couldn't have worked a computer the way these boys do.

And finally, I know that I have been behind on the blog-- so I am going to catch up now!
