Palm Sunday! 

A tradition at the Coldwater United Methodist Church is to have the children carry palm branches to the altar on Palm Sunday.  These two might have had just a tad bit too much fun waving those palm leaves!!

I don't have the words to express what a blessing our church family is to us and how grateful I am that they go out of their way to make things fun & engaging for the kids.

What can I say about this picture?

This afternoon/evening we spent time at our school carnival!  Preston's class had a BINGO booth that we worked at and then played lots of carnival games.  Among them were the ring toss, beanbag toss, football throw, train, moonbounce, fishing, bucket toss, cake walk, duck pond, crazy hair, face painting...but the most interesting game of the night goes to...toilet paper toss!

Cambree thought it was pretty funny to see a toilet in the gym! 

I have to say I was just happy to see it lined with a plastic bag...GROSS!

We have been doing at Easter Egg Countdown {more on the other blog} and today our egg said to "Make an Easter Treat and EAT it!"

So we made bunny shaped rice krispie treats and decorated them with icing and sprinkles that Grandma Robin gave us.  We tried putting them on popsicle sticks, but they were too soft!  We like our rice krispies on the soft side!

Westynn has a puff in his mouth...no rice krispie treats yet!  But notice the measuring spoon.  A baker in the making!!

This has to be one of my favorite stories for my 365 project so far!

Today we were having a planning meeting for our church dinners with the Kitchen Krew around my dining room table. We were deep into our brainstorming and planning when the doorbell rang.

In walked the son and daughter-in-law of our fearless leader, Pat H. She had reminded her son for several days that her birthday was coming up and mentioned to him that he always seemed to forget it. So to prove to her that he cared, they called the husband of another Kitchen Krew member to find out where the meeting was and they came and suprised her with a plant and a gift. We all sang Happy Birthday to her and of course I had to document it before they could leave and our meeting could continue!

I hope my kids will do that for me one day! I can't wait to print this picture and share it with my friend Pat!

Making cookies today! YUM YUM!

Cambree and Preston wanted to have ice cream sandwiches. I told them maybe tomorrow since they had already eaten a cookie. Cambree asked, "Are those the cookies buns, Momma?"

I am not sure if this is baby naptime or a complete take-over of the family furniture!

Getting back into the swing of things from our spring break trip...plus momma developed a migraine and she just didn't feel like thinking of something to photograph today!
