What A Mess








I thought Luke would be old enough this year to join in on Easter egg decorating. As I prepared the colors, this year I used vinegar to really make the colors rich, something I never did in the past. Each kid got a dozen eggs right out of the fridge. Within a matter of minutes, Luke dumped an entire cup or bright green coloring on himself and everywhere around him. The colors are bright and Luke had a bright green leg and it did not wash off. Not long after, he broke an egg and I quickly realized this wasn't going to work. I got out the easel and some paint and told Luke he could paint. He was thrilled with that, even though it turned messy very fast. Jacob and Jayden had fun decorating their eggs, but it was super messy. They broke egg after egg too. Later we went to Boxholm for the annual Easter egg candy hunt. The kids came home with lots of candy. Luke sure seems to like the sweets. He can't seem to get it in his mouth fast enough. The kids all took tractor rides in the afternoon with Dad while he put on nitrogen.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
