A Normal Week

 Monday was a busy day with dance and soccer practice.  We didn't have enough time to go home between dance and soccer but needed to pass some time so we got drinks at Sonic.

 This week for presentation they had to present a news report about an event from the Bible.  Ben is a reporter for Malta News reporting about Paul's shipwreck. He was completely stone-faced during his presentation.

 He loosened up while answering questions from his classmates about his presentation.  They all really liked that he wore his tie.  He slipped the shirt and tie on over his other clothes right before his presentation.

 Mollie Grace has been wanting to wear these matching nightgowns from Aunt Connie since they got them for Christmas.  She was so happy that it was finally warm enough for short-sleeved pjs.

 It rained a lot today.  As soon as the sun came out the neighborhood kids were ready to play.

A neighbor texted me this picture.

Easter

Happy Easter!

 Can you see the egg?  Mollie Grace can't!

This Week

After classes on Tuesday, we had an Easter egg hunt.

 Random picture from CC Tuesday.

 Waiting for egg hunt instructions.

 Maria read a story about why we celebrate Easter.

 After Arlie picked up this egg, Annie told her to put it in her (Annie's) basket.  And Arlie did.  Annie is sitting in my lap as I post this and she looked at this picture and said, "Arlie is helping me."

 Ben is showing me that he found one of his own eggs.

 Soccer Thursday night.  Still not looking at the field.  Ben's team won 6-1.  They've won three games and lost one.  Four more games left in the season.

Mollie Grace swung for more than an hour this morning.  The weather is beautiful here today.

A Week

 Annie rocking her two favorite babies that she got for Christmas -- Sally and Susie.  PawPaw named them Christmas morning and the names stuck.

 Mollie Grace made a Lego Duplo birthday cake.

 Saturday I finally put together Annie's new chest of drawers.  Annie and Sally were my helpers.

 I got worried about putting the drawers together when I saw this in the directions.

 Annie's big girl room completed.  New bed, chest of drawers, and wall decor.  The curtains were from Mollie Grace's room in Petal.

 Every time I download pics from my camera, I find loads of pictures and videos from Ben's Legends Speedway.

 Annie was proud of this tall block tower that she built by herself.

 Notice that Ben is in the air.  He said he was stopping the ball.

 The two in the yellow are Ben and Juan.  When they play together as forwards, they make an awesome team.

 Decided to get out the china and goblets for Sunday lunch.

Mollie Grace drank a gallon of water because she enjoyed drinking from the fancy goblet.

Ben's presentation on Tuesday was about Beethoven.  He brought his guitar and played a bit of Ode to Joy as part of his presentation.
