Wow. Have we been busy the past three weeks.
First things first, we celebrated L's bday with family. She wanted a baby themed party and to go swimming. We took all the kids and their cousins to our gym to swim and play for a couple of hours and then came back for pizza and cake. L loves to cook and always makes her own cakes. This year she made an Oreo cake and dyed the layers blue and pink, in keeping with the baby theme. We played diaper the baby blind folded, which was actually quite funny, and try to figure out what baby food we were eating, most of that was just gross. We had a good time and best of all L was very happy with her party.
T had his pine car derby for boy scouts. This was our first experience with turning a hunk of wood into an actual race car. He got the turtle award, which means his car was the slowest of all the cars to complete all four runs. Yes, we actually had to EARN the slowest car. A few kids were disqualified, bless their little hearts. However, we have some great ideas for next year.
We were able to go to Medieval Times with the whole family plus my eldest son's girlfriend and her daughter. It was so fun. The kids, especially T, were really into the sword fights. They serve way too much food though, but I thought ahead and brought plastic containers to bring back leftovers. The leftovers gave us all 2 more meals! I think the price should come down and have them serve half the amount of food! It was super expensive, but we all really enjoyed our night out and it is not often the whole family is able to go stuff together.
The kids enjoyed dying their Easter eggs. They are all so creative and enjoy doing crafty things. After dying our eggs, we headed to church. We had so many turn out to our church for the first service, we had to go down the street to their alternative site. It was different, but it was still a good service. I like our church, but sometimes it is just too big. We had 7 services for Easter to accommodate the 10000 members plus guests and at our service, and I am sure others, people were still turned away because of space.
