Breakfast with the Bunny

This weekend my cousin Kerri and I took our girls to the library for Breakfast with the Bunny. When we first got there they did face painting, er... marker painting, which my girls are typically against but this time (I think it's the first?) Jane decided she would go for it.

As you can see Jill was still very much against anyone drawing on her face but she did sit with the bunny even if she wouldn't look at me for the picture.

Kerri's little girl Kylie was not a fan of the bunny, he does look a little psychotic after all.

Jane however, went back time and time again to give the bunny some love. I eventually had to tell her to stop so other kids could visit with him.

Jill was quite happy with the mini carrot cupcakes. Here she is with her third... or fourth?

Then it was time for crafts. The girls decorated bunnies and eggs.

The bunny then came and gave everyone treat bags.

Kylie definitely wanted a treat bag but was not about to go get one from the psychotic bunny so she sent her mom in as a liaison.

The hand off to Kerri.

And then to Kylie...

After that we went into the story time room for some Easter stories and some dancing (the bunny hop, what else?)

I just thought this picture of Jill was super funny because of her floppy ears.

The girls are sharing what's in their treat bags.

A sweet moment with Kerri and Jill.

One last picture with the bunny before we leave...

All that bunny fun made us tired!

Team Building

Thursday night my kindergarten team and I went to Painting with a Twist for a team building session. This is our second of five. Each member of my team chooses a team building activity that everyone participates in. Our first was Jennifer's choice, a slumber party at her house. And it was awesome! Sorry, no pictures. This Thursday was my pick. It was a blast! Here are the rules:

Here we are before we started.

Squiggly lines 

Looking good Janelle!

 Thicker squiggly lines.

And now looking like branches...

More like branches...

Flowers...

Christian is deciding where to add her flowers. Alysa is just fooling around.

Say cheese Jen!

Janelle's finished painting.

Aren't they great! We had so much fun!!

I love my kinder team!!!

Jackson

So, there is a member of our family that gets very little attention on here (and to be truthful in general). This is for two reasons. First of all, he's a dog. So his day to day activities are not exactly newsworthy. And secondly, the poor thing hasn't been groomed in so long that we don't really take too many pictures of him, even though he is just about the cutest dog you'll ever meet. Okay, so maybe I am a bit biased. But as of today I am proud to introduce you (if you haven't already met him) to our newly groomed and our only boy, Jackson!

    .

Yesterday, when we picked him up the first thing I said to him was now he can sleep in our bed, which he NEVER does. And sure enough hours later as I am getting into bed here he comes. He puts his feet on the bed and whines to be picked up. I did tell him he could so of course I let him up and he crawls to the foot of the bed, walks a quick circle and lays down to sleep. And I think, "why?" Why when he NEVER sleeps in our bed does he come in tonight like it's an every night thing? Did he actually understand me when I said earlier in the day that he could? (I think probably every pet owner has been sure that their pet can understand every word they are saying at one time or another). Or does he know that I wouldn't have let him sleep in the bed before his haircut and bath so he didn't even bother trying? I suppose it's as Jay says, "He's just cold".

Ten reasons I love Jackson...

1. Look at that face!

2. He is able to ask a question with just one look.

 3. Jay and I have had him since before we were married. He was my first baby!

4. His playfulness

5. He's a great cuddle buddy.

 6. He looks cool even with long hair.

7. He lets me dress him up.

 8. He lets the girls dress him up.

9. He loves my kids.

10. Because he has always been right by my side...
