Happy Easter and an Award!!

I hope everyone had a good Easter.


We dyed eggs on Saturday evening. Saturday was such a busy day that we couldn't find a time to do it with Aaron, so this was the first year that he missed out (he didn't seem too broken hearted..lol). He had to go to Robots practice because State is this coming Saturday.











Sunday morning started with Emma waking up at the crack of dawn. I convinced her to go back to bed for a little while but she was back up by 6:45. I told her if she could get the boys out of bed we would go downstairs. She had to jump on Aaron, but she got them up.





Emma waiting patiently for the boys to get out of bed.












Now for the award....

Emma is in the "chapter book club" at school, which means that she has hit the highest reading group in class (there is only a handful of kids in the "club"). They read chapter books (like Magic Tree House books) and then do book reports. After they read 5 books and do 5 book reports they get a bead on their necklace. Emma just got her first bead on Friday. It's a pretty big deal for these kids. She is working on her 10 point bead right now. She actually was very close to getting both a 5 and 10 point bead because she was just finishing up her 8th book.
