Pinkeye sucks

Did I happen to mention that pinkeye sucks? First, Matt had it (but, I must have been in denial about it, because I was sure it was just his allergies acting up). But, when Emma got "ooky eyes", it was a little harder to deny. Then, when I got the crud, there was NO denying it. The kids cleared up in just a few days. I, on the other hand, was blessed with scarlet red & crusty eyes for only 11 days. It was great. However, we have now determined that I am alelrgic to 3 different pinkeye medications. Lucky me.

Funny name, I know, but I was just introduced to this cool new photo printing site. Right now, they are doing a promotion where you get 400 free prints (4x6 & 5x7s) and a free 8x8 album just for signing up. It's a free service, much like snapfish, so I thought that I would give it a try. Why don't you, too? Click on this link, then invite everyone you know!

gymnastics

Emma had her gymnastics recital from her last class. I was busy taking pictures, when I remembered that I could shoot video on my camera! So, I will put a couple of short clips on for you to see. Please excuse the laughing in the background...I could hardly keep the camera still, I was laughing so hard! My sweet little gymnast!

We finally had to get Matt's hair cut!

More from Easter




Easter






These are just a few pictures from Easter. I think the look on Emma's face is priceless, in the picture where she's looking at her brother. I can't remember why, but she was really peeved with him at that moment. Also, Emma really wanted an Easter bonnet to wear.

Papa's birthday!


Another snow day in March




We made a monster snowman family with the snow from the last snow storm. We made huge snowmen for each of us. The snow has been so wet and heavy...everything is SUPER green now!

SNOW DAY!





Last Friday, we had a blizzard (snow day...yay!), and when we were finally able to get outside, the snow in our driveway was mid-thigh. We had the brilliant idea of making "snowball mountain" for the kids, and put all of the snow that we shovelled into a huge pile just off the driveway in our front yard, so the kids (and us) could sled down it. It actually was a pretty long little run for the kids...they ended up at the end of the driveway! The last picture is of Garry, piled high with the 2 kids, and they went down it backwards. Snowball mountain is almost just a memory now, as the temperatures ever since the blizzard have been in the 60's, and possible 72 today. It provided hours and hours of fun, though. By the way, in addition to both Garry & I going down Snowball Mountain, Emma got her grandma to go down with her, too! Fun for all!
