walk like this?" Nikki asked me this morning as she swung her hips from side to side. I laughed and made her re-do the walk so I could capture a picture of it (although it's super blurry). I'm not sure what made her think of this. But laughing with Nikki is the best way to start any day.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up that Spring is here to stay. Usually we have some kind of taste of warmth mixed into our winters. In the meantime, I'm enjoying all the blossoms and sun without my wretched seasonal allergies.
I got to volunteer in Noah's class today. I love going to the school. Yesterday, Noah woke up not wanting to go to school. He was so upset and emotional that Aaron had to take him out for a hot chocolate to calm him before letting him into the classroom. Thankfully, today he was excited to go. He has the sweetest kids in his class, and reading group. I love watching him in there.
Parent pick-up for kindergarten is a dream compared to the crowded parking lots at the end of the day. I don't go every day, carpooling with Beka and Christine throughout the week. Today, Christine was out of town, so before we grabbed Mary for piano we hit the school playground. The warm sun was so incredible that we decided to go to the park after piano as well.
I love days like this...

when Daddy comes home!
The weather is spring perfection! The kids have been running outside for most of the day, especially during their play dates. When Aaron walks through the door it's the best part of the day. The kids were ecstatic to join him on the trampoline. I love watching him play with them. Is there anything more attractive?

We went to see a cute movie today as the culmination of the long weekend with lots of play dates and fun. The movie was good, maybe a little over the kids heads. The best part was seeing the two rows of kids all happily watching together. I love teacher-in-service days. They are always a nice break from the norm.
There's no school tomorrow so it's sleep overs with the cousins....the girls here, the boys at Tiff's, although Noah decided to stay with the girls today. We ate yummy tacos that my mom prepared after church and divided them all up. These kids love each other so much. It's just the best!
My mom and dad babysat for us tonight while Aaron and I ran and got a bite to eat. They are so good to watch our kids so we can have a little date night. When we got home the kids were watching an old movie with my mom. It was a Tarzan type movie and the kids we all snuggled up to Grandma listening as she explained what was going on. The kids loved it. She always knows the best old movies to watch and I can completely understand why they were so entertained with her commentary, I love watching them with her too. When it was over and the TV turned back onto a colored cartoon. Noah said, "Oh, I'm not used to those bright colors, We've been watching things in grey." Cute.
Today was our school's jog-a-thon fundraiser. The PTA put on quite an amazing event with a live DJ, bracelets for each lap run (brilliant idea), and t-shirts for all the students. The money raised will go towards purchasing smart boards for the teachers. If the school reaches $20,000 then they will also have a celebration day with jumpy houses for the kids. I'm curious if they'll reach that number. Mary ran 17 laps and Noah ran 14. It was really exciting cheering them on.
