Spring Break Part One: The First Sleep-Over

Quincy and Ellie had their first sleep over (our house) the Friday that Spring Break began. The girls had soooo much fun! No tears, just way too many giggles which caused the girls to all be moved to separate bedrooms about three hours after their bedtime.

Ellie's Five!

What did she want for her birthday? Books!!! After a delicious dinner of Chinese Noodles at one of our favorite places to eat, we hopped on over to Barnes and Noble so our now-five-year-old Ellie could pick out five books.  It was a good day.

More to come when I look over the other 860....just know that we had a really good time!  (And we're tired....)

Ellie's At-Bat

Ellie is much more talented on the field than Mommy is with a recording device...

Saturday Night Birthday Party

Quincy and Ellie went to their first all-out crazy-fun birthday party last night. 

It was held at the best-ever kids activity center, Catch Air.  They have everything a kid could ever possibly want to play with.


All the kids started the evening freshly-napped and ready to play...

 

..but slowly ran out of steam as the night churned closer to 8 p.m. (which is past their bedtime).

At the end of the evening, all the kid's eyelids were drooping...but none of them were too tired for a cupcake!

Ellie's First T-Ball Game!

The day began with the family waking up at 7 a.m. today to get Ellie to her team pictures at 8 a.m. Not a big deal waking up so early for the photos since her first game of the season was right after that at 8:30, right? Except that her team photos aren't until March 26th. Oops.

Her first at-bat of the season....

...turned into her first hit of the season!

Coming in to Home....

Victory---to a four year old!

And a proud "high five" with her favorite coach (of both soccer and T-Ball) after the game.

Ellie's a Cub!

...and her first game is a week from today. Stay tuned for what will most likely be some pretty funny photos....

Sunday...

 Today was a beautiful day to close a rediculously sad weekend.  Tim's father was laid to rest yesterday;  the girls are handling it about as well as four year olds can......they don't fully understand it yet. 

After spending some time at our favorite place to ride bikes, we went home where Ellie practiced her throwing for T-Ball.  She's really quite good...

Quincy, on the other hand, has zero interest in T-Ball.....she prefers just dilly-dallying around.
