April 2010
Some things we did in April.....
Easter! We took a trip out of town for Easter weekend, since Ian had some days off school, and got to enjoy family and have an Easter egg hunt with cousins - it was a very enjoyable trip!
Sewing! My mom convinced me that making my own pinch pleat drapes isn't very hard. So, I decided I'd try it, since I couldn't find drapes I wanted to buy and I could make them for so much cheaper anyway. In December, when my mom was visiting, we got them cut out and started. But then she left and I had to gear myself up for finishing them. It took a few months, but once I started it really wasn't too hard. Just really big. It took me most of two days. But, now that they're done, it's so nice to be able to see out the patio door instead of having newspaper covering it!
The finished product!
Soccer! Ian is playing soccer this spring. The team is all first graders, and they play only first graders. They have four on the field (per team) at a time, with no goalie and no score keeping. He's enjoying it more than I thought he would. He's definitely not the most aggressive player, but he chases the ball a lot and gets in a few kicks here and there.
This is how we spent the first soccer game, and really, most of them so far. He's only had a few games on days that were nice! It's been really cold, windy, and rainy this spring. Perhaps we'll try fall soccer next time.....
Bike riding! We have had a few nice days. They do each have a trike, but they like to play that it's the fire engine. Levi is the driver, and Caleb is riding on the back. Then they jump off and fight the fire, and get back on to go to the next fire. They live in a fire-fighter world many days.
Coloring! They've all, Ian included, been interested in coloring again lately.
Sleeping in odd places/positions. Ian was sick for a few days, one afternoon I told him he should rest and could read books, this is what happened.
Levi, sound asleep. He likes to sleep in the corner! He often wakes up with a red mark on his forehead from sleeping against the bar. It's one reason I'm a little worried about getting rid of the cribs, but it will happen soon!
Caleb. He didn't nap this day, and was sorting the laundry before dinner. I hadn't heard from him for a while (some days he comes out with every article of clothing to ask whose it is), so I went in to check and this is what I found.

And, I just thought this was cute!
