Andrew & Aubrey's preschool art show

Just another reason we love our preschool!  Today they held an art show and displayed several pieces of their art work.  There were also refreshments that the children had made during the week.  It was lots of fun to walk around and see everything and to see several of their friends!

Rick worked the raffle ticket table and Aubrey was his "helper."

Boys with their toys.

Today was a half day for elementary schools here so my friend, Jan, and I decided to take our boys to lunch.  Seth and Davis were too funny with their DS games.  They were actually playing against each other and we were trying to get them to leave but they were so into their game that they didn't even hear us!

Trike-a-Thon

Today Andrew and Aubrey's preschool participated in the St. Jude Trike-a-Thon. They raised money and then rode laps around their preschool's courtyard. True to his mosey personality, Andrew took it slow and was the last person to go around the square on his scooter. When it was Aubrey's turn, she bypassed everyone else and was the first person to finish. Such different children! Fun moment- while Aubrey's class was taking their turn, Andrew's class was seated on the ground, chanting, "AUBREY AUBREY AUBREY..."

Around the bend!

Almost there!

Aubrey was ready!

She's already passed everyone else.

All done and sitting with their best friends, Owen and Madeline.

We made it home safely yesterday, just in time for the Easter Bunny to visit last night, an Easter Egg hunt at church today, and Easter beignets for lunch.  Happy Easter!

Spring Break came a little late this year but it was worth waiting for!  Rick headed to Chattanooga for business on the Wednesday before then headed to Tullahoma from there and the kids and I met up with him on Sunday.  It was nice for Rick to have a little one-on-one time with his parents and the kids were great for me!  We all missed Daddy (and I was ready for some back-up!)!  The weather was perfect for Easter Egg hunts at Grandma's and trips to the zoo, park with Molly Cate, and Fort Negley at Nana's.  It was one of our best trips yet and no one was ready to leave.  We miss Nashville already and can't wait to return at the beginning of June!
