Life has been busy, busy and glorious spring is here!! The sun is shining and the snow is slowly melting! It's supposed to be 40 degrees today:) On Saturday I took the kids to the mush for kids event at Pioneer park, its an event they have every spring with dog sled rides for kids, craft activities and fire trucks and ambulances to explore. This sounded like great fun and fresh air for me and the kids so we went. Michael has class on Saturdays so I was going it alone with the children. They were excited the whole short drive there but when we arrived and went into the park things started to go down hill. The kids didn't want to ride on the dog sleds, or do crafts or explore the fire trucks. Madelyn who normally loves puppies and keep can't herself away from them decided that she wanted nothing to do with them and Josh whose normally timid around dogs went right up and petted them. You can never predict how kids are going to behave or react to things, they tend to surprise me alot! So basically I just ended up pulling two crying kids around on a sled while Isaac ran ahead jumping in the snow banks. At least we got some fresh air I guess! On Sunday Walmart had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids and the Easter bunny was there so we took the kids and they had a blast finding eggs full of candy. The Easter bunny they had though was a bit creepy looking. The kids had their picture taken with him and surprisingly nobody cried. Michael and I had to join in the pictures since Madelyn and Josh wouldn't go by themselves. Sunday was a nice family day! We haven't had a chance to go on an outing with Michael lately because of his school schedule he misses a lot of the things I take the kids to do.

So Isaac was supposed to take his state mandated standardized tests today so we woke up at 6 o'clock this morning so we could be there to sign in at 8am. I packed activities for Madelyn and Josh to keep them busy and packed lunches the night before and we get there sign in and wait around for 30mins waiting for testing to start only to find out that earlier this morning someone broke into the veichle carrying the tests and stole all the 3rd and 4th grade test booklets. So we ended up going home. Who would steal test booklets for elementary school it so strange. Isaac on the other hand was thrilled to get out of a day of testing, now I'm just waiting to find out if there's still testing tomorrow. Hopefully they retrieve the test booklets and we can get these test days over with. Isaac is also testing for his yellow stripe on Friday in Taekwon do and is very excited about it. He is so eager to earn his yellow belt. He may even have it before he leaves for the summer. We'll see:)
