April 14 - 20

Moving along with playing catch up....


Bennett was still a bit under the weather so on Monday we picked up some cold medicine for him.  He's not a fan!

Tuesday was school picture day.  We also did some vacuuming in the evening and Bennett got very excited about that.



Wednesday Bennett has speech.  For some reason he seems to sleep late on Chris' mornings to take him but not on mine.  This being Daddy's morning, of course he slept late.
When leaving school he and Grace held hands on the way out.  Super cute.
When he got home he asked to cut paper.  The little pieces were "tape".

Thursday he had a dentist appointment.  Things are looking good.  He's had some discoloration behind his bottom front teeth, but it wasn't as bad as the previous visit.  No idea what's causing it.
At school the kids got Easter baskets.

On Friday Bennett came home to find an Easter basket from Nana and Auntie Hanna hidden in the yard.
We also all had to role play Peter Pan.  He was Captain Hook, Mummy was both Wendy and Mr. Smee, and Daddy was Peter.

At soccer on Saturday the Easter Bunny came to say hi to the kids.  In this photo Bennett is walking away after just having got a high five.

After soccer we went to Sturbridge here he got another kiss on the head from Phil.  We also got to watch a sheep give birth which I thought was incredibly neat.  I discussed recipes  with Victoria and Katie (I think that they think that I bake a lot more than I actually do), Victoria asked to borrow Bennett to check for eggs, and she also asked if he could be costumed to be her helper for a day.  Guess I'll have to work on a costume for him.  :)

Quote from the day:
Bennett: Mummy, say "brrr"
Daddy: Brrr
Bennett: Is your name Mummy?

Not interested in photos before backyard soccer.

Sunday was Easter!  Bennett woke up early and came into our room to say that he had a coloring book in his room.  The Easter Bunny also brought him The Jungle Book, a toothbrush, some socks, and some Band-Aids.
We played outside in afternoon and then headed to Home Depot.

For those of you who might be squeemish, here are some pictures of the sheep having her lambs.  

In labor with the first lamb.  You can see the hooves starting to protrude.

First lamb half out.

While the mom was cleaning off her first lamb, the second starts to arrive.  She is oblivious.

Second lamb.

It was only when the second one finally bleated after a few minutes that Momma Sheep realized it was there.  She then started to clean it off.
