Kaitlyn reciting the Girl Scout Promise at our recent impromptu ceremony.

Doing an Easter Craft at our last Daisy Troop meeting. These eggs are called Cascarones and are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They are also known and "confetti eggs" and are supposed to bring you good luck. You sneak up on someone and crack the egg over their head after making a wish. Confetti and eggs shells spill everywhere. The girls had a lot of fun doing it. Me...not so much. Making a hole in 50 eggs and draining the contents was quite a task. I had some yummy flan though as my reward.

Kaitlyn at her first soccer practice this year with the YMCA. There are only two boys on the team, look how much Kaitlyn towers over them.

Kaitlyn's coach, Ruth Ann, trying to get the kids to understand it's OK
for the ball to hit your head.

A lazy afternoon Jeep ride through the neighborhood.

St. Patrick's Day. Wearing all-green for school.

Camden got to stay home, of course, and make shamrock cookies with me. He did not want his picture taken, as usual.

It's rare to get a smile ON CAMERA for this guy so I had to post it.

All smiles this day.

Getting a big-boy trim at Little Chops. He's not liking this so much. He loves to watch Barney while they cut his hair.

Here comes trouble. The shirt says it all!

Kaitlyn trying to "dribble" the ball. She is more comfortable this year and is enjoying the games now compared to last year, in which she sat and cried on the sidelines a lot. I'm thrilled she is getting some exercise and she is having fun. She still doesn't quite understand what to do. She does a lot of "skipping" on the field rather than running. Day-dreaming takes priority over following the ball. Hopefully she'll get the hang of it. They had their first game last weekend and didn't score one goal. She stopped the ball twice as goalie though which was huge. Everyone is trying to figure out how to play so it's cute to watch.
