Take me out to the ballfield

From the Pool to the Park.  Saturday Wayne played in a softball tournament at the Rec.  After years of not playing, he has started playing again.  I'm not sure what has gotten in to him.  I think he has forgotten his age.  It was an opportunity for the girls and I to enjoy a beautiful morning, the playground, and be entertained in the process.

It's a cool Pool!

Hadley got invited to a pool party on the last day of Spring Break.  It turned off a little chilly, thank goodness for a heated pool.  Not that these little ladies would have cared, little fish.  Ms. Ellison crashed the party, although she wasn't really a fan.  I could seriously eat up the cuteness, the frog, the belly, the pout, oh my!!!

An Eggciting Day

This past Sunday we had our Easter Egg at Church.  It was a beautiful day.  Ellison loved hunting the eggs.  She delighted in each one she found.

Did someone say PARTY??

Thursday Ellison had her Easter party at school.  First the kids all got hyped on a breakfast of sugary treats, then they hunted eggs.  They were like little ants swarming the playground.  So sweet. 

Ellison has taken a bath with her plastic eggs, everynight since the first Easter egg hunt.  She asks about them everytime she sees them.  She is absolutely obsessed.

A terrific trio

The terrific trio.  This past Wednesday I went on a field trip with Hadley's class to the aquarium.  Always a gluten for punishment, I chaperoned.  When Mrs. Smith, told me I would have Hadley and two other little girls in my charge (her BFF's), I immediately envisioned all kinds of girl drama.  I mean we know girls don't get along in odd numbers, right?  These three little ladies compliment each other so well.  There wasn't one stitch of girl drama, tattling or picking one friend over another.  They were so motherly towards each other.  My only problem was one was a wanderer and three of us kept having to reel her back in or herd her in the direction we wanted her to go.

This shocked me, but she didn't hesitate.

This was one of the little girls favorite parts.  Being locked in a shark cage????

My favorite part of the trip was when the two little girls started speaking Spanish to each other and Hadley rolled her eyes.  I told Hadley she needed to pay attention, so he could learn and one of the little girls let me know that Hadley didn't pay attention when they tried to teach her, she just talked over them.  Yep, that sounds about right.
