E-I-E-I-Oops!

Delaney's first grade program, E-I-E-I-Oops was tonight.  She was supposed to dress up like a cowgirl.  Thanks to Landon for lending us the plaid shirt.  It was a super cute play!

Easter 2014

We hosted Easter dinner at our house.  I'm so happy that my family is not opposed to ordering the Bella Milano family meal deals so we don't have to cook!  We enjoyed a nice, lazy day sitting out in the sun before everyone came over at 4:00.  

Fresh tulips in my house make me so happy!

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls before we went to church Saturday evening.

Ready to look in their baskets on Easter morning.

The big kids gearing up for the egg hunt.  Trevor was not interested in getting his picture taken.  We sure missed Jon today!  He is usually our chief egg hider.

Trevor found an egg floating in the bird bath and that was the end of his egg hunt.  He was having too much fun playing.

Uh-oh!  Someone got ahold of the Easter grass!

Forest Park Family Day

The girls have been off all week for their Spring Break and I only had today off since we had a week-long break in March.  Allan got finished with his conference calls by 11:00 am, then we headed over to Forest Park for a family day.  After a horribly cold and long winter, the sun and blossoming trees were especially beautiful.  We knew that the zoo would be crazy with other families who also had Good Friday off, so we decided instead to have a picnic lunch outside of the Planetarium.  Then we walked around the tulips outside of the Jewel Box and finished up by playing at the playground near the visitor's center.  

We were excited to find a few of the "250" cakes that are all over the Metro area in celebration of St. Louis's 250th birthday!  Delaney's teacher has been sharing with her students that she and her family are trying to find all 250 of them.  Delaney wanted to be sure to get some pictures of her own to show Mrs. McDaniel.  

We finished up our day with dessert at Coffee Cartel in the Central West End.
