Fun-Filled Morning

We had a fun-filled morning! Our little township has an annual Easter egg hunt and so we ventured out this morning to see what it was about. If you come at 10:00am, they have craft tables set up, face painting, games, and the Easter Bunny roams around to take pictures. Then at 11:00 each child gathers around his designated circle and waits for the signal. At the whistle, they go crazy and pick up as many eggs as they can. They are filled with candy, little toys and prize slips. It was so fun! Even though there was a million people there and the hunt lasted maybe 10 seconds before all the eggs were gone, the boys had a fun time.


After the event we went to Carson's first soccer game. It is through the YMCA and indoors at the elementary school. It is not quite as organzied as the one in Az, but it was still fun, Carson wass really excited to be n the same team as his two friends from the neighborhood, Alex and Coleman. Although he didn't score any goals, he had fun getting back into the game.

Kid's Clinic

On Saturday, we were at Home Depot to purchase some grass seed (that is a long story in itself) and the man at the check-out said there was a free kid's clinic going on if we wanted to go. Of course Carson was up for it, so we had a great time building a speedway. He used a hammer and nails all by himself and did an excellent job of reading and following the directions (good thing too, because I was trying to entertain and put Connor's togther at the same time)!

How did I miss this before? If you have kids, you definitely should check this out. The first Saturday of each month they create a different project and they give the kids a mini apron and the craft kit. When they complete the project, they show the supervisor and then they get a coordinating pin to put on the apron. Carson had a blast and is so excited for the birdhouses they will build next month.
Of course I didn't have my camera at the event, but here are a few "after" photos of the boys playing with their creations.




Oops! Don't mind Connor's fingers as he tried to grab the camera.
