Last weekend (I know, I know.  I’m a little late with my posting.) Dan took the three youngest kids (Jack *gasp* is too old) to have breakfast with the Easter Bunny up at school.  A great time was had by the children, not the Dad, but come on… it’s all about them anyway, right?

Last Friday night, Dan and Jack spent the night at The Field Museum in Chicago.  It was a scouting event and a ton of boys got to do some really cool stuff late into the night.  I haven’t been yet to the museum, but I’ve heard it’s one of the best.

The kids, of course, were thrilled.  Jack, especially.  He spent several hours outside this weekend building a snow fort. (Pictures to come.)

Maria graduated from kindergarten today.
In the fall, during the first open house/teacher conference, Maria’s teacher told me, “I’d take a hundred Maria’s.”
Within a few weeks of that, Maria had been “red-carded” several times and started a behavior chart to help keep her in line.  Thankfully, it worked and she pretty much sailed through the rest [...]

Well, it looks as though our Easter luck has continuted into this year.  It started a few years ago with this* and we really haven’t had the best of Easters since.
Yesterday morning, Luke woke up still feverish and so had to miss the Easter egg hunt in the park.  Which means, darn it, I had [...]
