Tumbling Spring Show

The boys debuted their tumbling skills tonight. This was their first tumbling event since they started taking trampoline and tumbling back in September. They were pretty excited to be part of a show. They have a great time at tumbling. I think the hour and a half is a little long for Clint but he still has a good time-- what's not fun about flipping, jumping, diving, and running around for an hour and a half?

Toothless

Clint has lost 4 teeth recently, leaving his smile looking pretty empty.  The good news is he's made a lot of money with the loses.

Bowling

I took the boys bowling tonight for our spring break activity.  They had so much fun.  Cole is really into bowling right now.  They play it on the XBOX and though the physical aspect isn't the same for both, the pins falling down is.  Cole would get so excited when he would get a "strike."(any time all his pins are down it's a strike).  "Yessss!  I godda strike!"  Clint couldn't refrain from dancing when someone started up the jukebox and Kade had a few moves too.  Kade didn't bowl his best so he was pretty down about it so I spent most of the night teaching him about being a good sport and not making the experience miserable for everyone just because you're not winning.  It's not the first time we've had this discussion. He's so competitive so I don't know how many more times we'll have to have the discussion before it finally sticks.

Lego Crazed

So the boys have really been into their legos lately.  They get the lego magazine so any time they build something they always want me to take a picture of them with their creations so we can send it into the magazine.  Maybe one day they'll be able to say they've been featured in a magazine. :)

Jump On It

I took the boys to Jump On It today. There was a deal so I thought we could try it out. It was much better than I had anticipated. The boys had such a great time. Kade and Clint's favorite part was running up the wall and trying to touch the bar at the top that was probably 12 feet up. Cole's loved the foam pit once he left the video games long enough to try it out. He pretended to play the driving video games for the first 30 minutes we were there. I loved watching Kade and Clint run up the trampolines that were slanted on the wall and then do flips off the wall. The only disappointing part of the whole trip was that Kade wanted so badly to do the rock climbing wall and fall into the large foam pit but you have to be 9 to go into that arena--soon enough buddy.

Di-section :0

The boys were so eager to demolish Clint's vacuum.  It quit working and so they asked if they could take it apart.  Fun activity for kids!  When I came out to get a picture Clint was smashing it saying, "Die!"  Yikes.  It's a good thing I know he's not being vicious.  Kade was sawing away at some other part.  The vacuum was in a million pieces by the time they were through. Good times.

April Fools!

My friend Wendy LOVES April Fools Day.  She always makes a prank dinner.  Darryl saw a post for the instructions on how to make jello earthworms and so I passed it on to Wendy.  She made them for her dinner tonight and brought us over a plate.  I must say-- first look was unappetizing.  They really looked like worms.  The boys didn't know what to say or do when they saw Darryl and I pick up a "worm" and eat it.  We laughed, explained what it was, and then tried to get them to eat one.  NO WAY!  They wouldn't even touch them.  They'll hold real worms but not worms made from jello????  I didn't eat many of them.  I too couldn't get past how gross they looked.
