The Pirate has had his SAT 10 Testing this week...3 days worth of it! He has been going to bed early and eating a healthy breakfast. He was actually excited about taking this test. I wish I could get him to be THAT WAY about his homework.
We have had baseball. Aunt Staci and Uncle Cris came to watch. He does more "dancing" around than anything. Short attention span...
The Mermaid keeps losing her earrings. I went and bought some safety backs. They seem to be working.
For those of you who know, we have a burrowing owl living in our front yard...we named her Bubo. The owls here live in the ground. We have lots of nests around the city and people keep track of the owls. Our owl has not found a mate. So, no babies this year. The kids were bummed...
HOWEVER, we were out playing in the back yard with the kids swinging on the swings and kicking the ball around and low and behold...there was a bunny. Digging a hole in our yard!!!! Ruining the grass next to the pool cage (it will grow back!) Daddy came in and did some searching on the internet. She is an eastern cottontail and she is nesting!!!!!! So, we will have babies...or kittens, as they call them in 3 weeks or so.
We took some picks of "Miss Hoppity".
Yeah! It's Easter says The Pirate...What's Easter???? says The Mermaid. She has NO idea....
This is a chocolate Easter bunny, daddy explains. The Easter Bunny left this????? she says....
The Pirate demonstrates to his sister the proper way to eat one....it looks YUMMY!!!!!!
The Pirate is an "ears" guy. The Mermaid thought that was funny....
Next, he went for the head....Mommy said ENOUGH!!!!! Time for breakfast!!!!
We loved this picture of us all at Animal Kingdom. That is Expedition Everest behind us. It costs $14.95 for a 4X6 inch photo!!!!!!! So, we stole it off the website. Bad, Bad, Bad.....
On our way home from Disney World, we stopped to visit Superboy and meet our newest cousin, Wondergirl. She is three months old and very cute! The Pirate, The Mermaid and Superboy had fun spinning around in Uncle Don's chair. We capped off the evening having dinner at Daddy's and Uncle Don's favorite place to eat...Denny's!!!!!!

Thursday night was the final art show and chorus performance at our school. The school district has eliminated art and music teachers from the elementary schools. We are in a budget crunch and the state does not seem to fund education properly. So, I will be doing something different next year.
