Spring has been a busy time at our household as we wrap up school with field trips, parties, awards ceremonies, and programs, and as we finally get to spend time outside. Hurray for spring!!
If Josiah's excited and bouncing off the walls, kicking the dog, or hitting his siblings...well, we've found that playdoh works wonders for calming him down! (He looks pretty angelic in the photo, don't you think?)
Rachel's teacher scheduled three field trips for the end of the year. Eric joined her on the first one: a train trip to Lincoln where the class ate at Bonanza. My friend who grew up in Lincoln couldn't quit laughing when I told her about this field trip. The kids loved it!!!! 
Running to catch the train.
We are afraid that perhaps our days of avoiding baseball at all costs are coming to a quick close. One of Josiah's first words was "ball" and he still seems to have a magnetic attraction to them...and enjoys his tee ball even more than his basketball hoop. (Insert sad sigh followed by giddy pleasure at anything my child gets excited about.)
Last night the kids had their spring program at CBA. We heard a song played by the 5th and 6th grade band, saw each class sing an ethnic song (and even perform a simple dance) representing a different country, and listened to Micah's class play a song on their recorders. It may be the last time Rachel and Micah are in a school program together for some time, as he will head off to Prairieland for 5th grade next year.Next week Micah's class is hosting Illinois Historical Costume day. After his choices of John Deere and Ronald Reagan were taken by others, Micah settled on D.L. Moody as the person he will research. Meanwhile his mom hit the consignment shops and yes, I did find a three piece suit for him to wear!! Now, to my dad, if you could just help me create a beard out of felt... and if anyone has a round hat he could wear, please let me know! (Google D.L. Moody, find the pictures of the realistic statue and you'll see what I mean.)
