Went to the dentist today and Logan came with me. He took some pictures to help pass the time. I'm not a fan of dentists so it was nice to have Logan there with me :)
Also, Happy April Fools Day!!!
I thought it'd be fun to tease Ryan today. I generally have 3-4 pregnancy tests on hand, as I take one about every other month :) So I took one per my usual, just to check. I'm not pregnant but I thought it'd be fun to prank Ryan. So I told him at night just before we went to bed "I took a pregnancy test today." I let him start to panic a little and then said April Fools!! Haha. He didn't think it was funny. Then I was like, well I did take one today, but I failed :)
So I didn't think much of it. I just threw it away. Well I forgot that I share a bathroom with my teenage sister Jessica. Haha. She pulled it out of the trash and texted her friend I think my sis is prego!! So they were both over trying to figure out if I really was or not! The next morning I was telling my mom how I'd teased Ryan and Jess was like, wait, so your not? So funny!! She so thought I was! Even though I failed it. Haha. Random and funny.

Julz came over today and we made Easter bunny rice crispy's and let the kids decorate them. So much fun!!
All that decorating was exausting, so Evan and Corbin took a nap with Uncle Jace :)

Had a great morning. Went to a consignment sale with my Dalton sisters (awesome!) & then watched conference at home. Wonderful!

I love this quote from conference!! One of the blogs I read posted it today.
Kaitlyn, this girl is my art girl. Any kind of art. She loves it and is sooo happy when she has a project to work on. Love this sidewalk chalk art she made and the fact that she is COVERED in it! She could spend all day out here working on different pictures!
The kids all get dressed in our room (all the clothes are in there) and for some reason they just LOVE to stand on the boys dresser. It gets pretty crazy in here at night getting everyone ready for bed!
This was my FB post that night
Torn between my mother BEAR instincts and compassion today. Emily came home and told me (this is the THIRD time) that the same 2 kindergarten boys punched her at recess again. Part of me wants to storm up to the school, but part of me wants to cry for those boys. Where are they learning it's ok to hit girls? What kind of anger do they have to need to pick on my baby? They are in kindergarten! Why are the PUNCHING!!? AND Emmy has a great teacher and I can tell from what Emmy says that the school is taking good steps to handle the situation. Blah... Any suggestions on things to say to Emily (I sent an e-mail to her teacher already) to help her? I've been talking with her about it, but she's starting to want to not talk about it. I don't press her on it, but I also want her to know she's ok and still safe.
and on the 23rd: She is much better. Apparently her teacher didn't know, so I'm glad I emailed her. I'm not sure who Ems was telling at school, but her teacher has been great! No more problems at all.
The girls both have great teachers, and luckily it was taken care of quickly. So sad how people, even children treat each other sometimes.

Uncle Andrew brought home some baby bunnies!! The mom was killed and he was trying to save them. (Unfortunately they slowly died. We found out later baby bunnies rarely live without their mom's.) The kids and Aunt Tiara LOVED holding them and trying to feed them. So did Andrew's girlfriend (soon to be fiance')!
The kids wanted me to hold them, but I couldn't. I know they're bunnies, but I just couldn't touch them. Gives me the hebejebees! I made them wash their hands every time after they held them!

We went and saw the Croods as a family today!! So fun!
We also got to go see cousin Colin play his clarinet at a band concert. He sounded great!! I didn't get any of us with him or the Peterson's, but Kaitlyn wanted a picture in front of this painting :)

Kaitlyn's class from Lancaster wrote her letters and sent the sweetest package to say they miss her. She has been sooo blessed to have Mrs Strobush as a 1st grade teacher!! She really learned a TON from her this year. I was sad she didn't get to finish out the year there. We decided to take a picture and video and answer some of the questions her friends asked. I'm horrible and never sent it, but I'll post it on here.
