I posted pictures last week before we had our egg hunt. Even though Bryan is nearly seventeen (!) I felt that we ought to have an egg hunt. It was so beautiful outside and everyone needed an opportunity to enjoy the backyard and earn some chocolate. Although I suspect that they just wanted the candy, everyone humored me and participated. I had to laugh, though, at Bryan. Melody was the first to find her allotted number of eggs. And then I realized why Bryan was behind. He was checking inside the eggs first to see if they contained chocolate, or some less desirable candy before "finding" them! So maybe he is too old for an egg hunt after all. 

  Marc was in Tennessee this week, and with two track meets and a choir festival, the week went quickly. I still have been unable to take a decent picture of Bryan running. Even though I've put the camera on "burst" I still get him just before or just after a hurdle. I'll try again next meet.

Melody's choir did an excellent job at their festival. They are a small group, but sound great.  I had trouble with my photography here also, because I didn't want to stand up, but this guy's head was really in the way. Their performance was short (only three songs) so this was all I got. Melody is in the front row, third from the left.

Thomas stayed home sick on Monday, but felt better Tuesday. Good thing, 'cause this week was standardized testing.Thomas does not enjoy being dragged along to track meets. He says that watching them is boring. He sat and read a book at this one on Saturday, but refused to let me take his picture. Just as predicted, we went from freezing in the bleachers one week to roasting the next. Ah, the joys of track.

Thomas did let me take his picture halfway though his new haircut.

Melody was glad for the opportunity to watch our neighbor's dog this weekend. She also babysat on Friday and is grateful for both opportunities to earn money for girls' camp this summer. 

A last note. With the changing weather, Melody and I made homemade Popsicles. We made pudding pops and regular ones of Kool-aid. Yum. Have a great week,  we plan to. This spring weather is wonderful.
