Busy As A Bee!

Three of the four boys played a FUN game on Saturday! It is called Busy Busy Bumblebee! You have to strap the bees to your head and try to pick up the pollen. They look so silly doing it. Ethan, Anthony, and Justin trying to catch the pollen

Can You Find The Egg?

After we were done coloring the eggs Grandma, Auntie Jenny, and Mom went and hid them outside for the kids to find. They had so much fun looking in the snow and everywhere to find them. Great Grandma and Great Grandpa were the adult helpers. Ethan waiting to be let outside

Team #1 was Anthony, Great Grandpa, and Kellen. We called them the Red team because of the boys' coats

Team #2 was Justin, Great Grandma, and Ethan

Egg in a Tree

The snow was so deep that April fell in to her knee. Most of the time you could walk on it but sometimes you would fall through. April did not think this was funny

Can you spot the egg?

It was very difficult to capture all of the action on the camera with everyone moving around so much. So those were the best pics of the hunt. We only lost one egg somewhere in the snow. Maybe we will see it in the spring. And at least it was not in the house!

Colored Hands......I mean Coloring Eggs

On the Saturday before Easter we colored our hands......oops......I mean we colored our eggs. We were at Grandma Schumacher's house. Anthony and Justin were there too. So were Auntie Jenny and Uncle Aaron. The boys all played together so well. There was barely any fighting. Kellen writing a secret message on one of his eggs

Justin taking a break to smile for the camera

Ethan working hard. He was so fast that his eggs were kind of muted colors. He would not leave them in for very long

Kellen working on an egg. Kellen was one of the slowest because each of his eggs had to have a secret message on it.

Ethan wanted this picture of his blue egg up

Some eggs swimming in the color pool

Uncle Ben and Aunt Marie Visit Kellen's Class!

Yesterday, Uncle Ben and Aunt Marie went to Kellen's class with Gloria the Blue Tongued Skink. The kids all loved seeing her and learning about her. The kids all had a chance to pet her and see what she feels like. The kids all had questions to try to Stump Ben and Marie. A few did most did not. They all got treats. The game was a surprise to Ben since I did not tell him about it. Kellen and some of his classmates looking at Gloria

Ben trying to feed Gloria but she would not eat. She was too interested in all the kids

Even Ms Loker got a chance to touch Gloria

This is Kellen's class with Aunt Marie, Uncle Ben, Gloria, and Ms Loker. The kids all seemed to enjoy seeing the lizard and touching it. They all seemed to have a blast. Ben and Marie are planning on doing it again next year for Kellen and Ethan since he will be in Kindergarten.

Jelly Belly!

We took a tour of the Jelly Belly Distribution Center. I would love to tell you all that it can't be missed, but the boys thought that it was boring and so did I. The HUGE Jelly Belly on the building

Badger Basketball!

On the first Sunday in March we went to a Badger Women's Basketball game. Grandma Schumacher gave us the tickets and we met Uncle Aaron, Auntie Jenny, Justin, and Anthony there. We all had a great time. Kellen really got into the game and wanted to know why everything was happening. Ethan once he figured out that we would not stop him from dancing was quite a loon. Here are the Cheerleaders. Before we went to the game Kellen asked "Do girls play basketball?" I told him yes. He then asked if all the Cheerleaders would be men. He was quite surprised to see women and men Cheerleaders.

Here we all are in our Badger red and white.

Jared

The half time show was a guy called Quick Change. The woman changed clothes like 8 times in a 10 minute show. The boys really loved this. Ethan told me that this was REAL magic!

Another change of clothes!
