Last weekend was super busy driving both kids around to various birthday parties, and then trying to squeeze in all of the other things that we normally do on the weekend. We did it, and it was all good, but a little bit more busy than I usually like to plan for the weekends. I know some people thrive on being busy and always being out and about, but this Type A introvert needs to have some alone time, where I can get stuff done.
And I did. So, it's all good. :)
Last Saturday, G had so much fun at his friend Olivia's 8th birthday party. They went to a local restaurant and made their own pizzas, decorated cupcakes, and played fun games. It was really nice to drop him off at the birthday party which included several neighborhood friends. And he had a blast!

On Thursday, Ava tested for her 2nd stripe for her orange belt, and of course, she passed. Atta girl! There are now two dads who attend that same TKD class who at one time or another, worked at Patterson. It's super strange seeing people from work, especially since I haven't been in the office for over 2 years. Ava and I are trying to figure out how she will be able to fit in TKD this summer once marching band starts, and I just don't think it's possible. I hope she continues to practice at home so she can try to jump back in once her schedule loosens up a bit.

And speaking of her schedule...she starts track on Monday! I'm excited (and nervous) for her. Both Scott and I know how fun (and how much work it is), so I hope she sticks with it, and makes the most of it. I'm worried that she doesn't understand how much running it is, and it'll tire her out too much. But, as long as she does her best, we will support her!
Ava spent a good chunk of last weekend with her new friend Bella. They had a blast at Bella's birthday sleepover, and then decided to spend all of Sunday together. We're so happy that she's expanded her friend circle. Such a difference from last year when she was in her room, 24/7.
Scott and I just keep on working, working, working. And we're both looking forward to coloring the eggs for Easter, and spending the day as a family on Easter. G and I have been reading this adorable mother & sons Bible storybook over the last several days (it focuses on the stories of men in the Bible.) We're really enjoying spending 15 min or so each day learning more about the Bible. Ava and I read the mothers & daughter version (focuses on the stories of women in the Bible) when she was younger, and G and I have already decided that we'll read that version once we're done with his book. The church where I'm a member has a really fun kids channel, so we'll watch the Easter episode together, so he can start to learn more about the true story of Easter.
On that note...Happy Easter!
