Bring the Spring

All the events, all the holidays.

Mimi was invited to participate in her first DCMT play this Spring 2016. The show was Mulan.  We planned to be there en force but Philo was still recovering and we weren't able to go.  Mimi flew as an "unaccompanied minor" which is a massive racket. But the experience of the play was the highlight of her year, if not her whole life.  Many thanks to Grandma Pam for making it happen.

Mimi and Alice, both 9.

All the Eastering:

Dying eggs with Aidan.

BL having a run in with Robert as the Easter bunny. He was friendly but she was creeped out.

This is my favorite picture of Si to date.  He's so handsome and his enthusiasm shines.

Marchoween. A grand success even in the rain.

April Fool's Day:

Each of the children manage to erect pranks around the house. They all worked. Skylanders hidden in all of mine and D's shoes was effective.

And for Jim, this year was the Inaugural Meeting of the Fan Clubs.  Jim has been obsessed with his new Stake President and he talks about him all the time.  The President Clark is a really great dude so it's pretty justified, but rather amusing how Jim gets stuck on one thing.

I got Clark onboard for a lunch meeting on April 1 and then shipped out the Fan Club t-shirts.  Jim, annoyingly, tried to figure out what the prank was the whole week, even accusing Pres Clark of being in cahoots (which he was).  And then, to top it off, Jim bailed on his lunch date!  Late on April 1 Jim did a house call and found Pres Clark in a coordinating fan club t-shirt.  So basically it was the kindest most harmless prank to date and Jim was hellbent on screwing it up and preventing it.  Why?? 

Well, no more Mr Nice Prank. Good luck Jim.

April is recovery month. We're just hanging out and enjoying the glorious spring with our millions of children.
