Bed Making

The making of the bed has become quite the area of self-expression for Gavin. And the creation of the day is...

He cracks me up.

It's fun making up new ideas about how to make my bed.

A Miracle!

Gavin ate everything on his plate for dinner! It is truly unbelievable.

Daddy's Show

Tonight we had a family evening of dinner and theatre. We ate at a fabulous restaurant near ASU called "Sucker Punch Sally's". Gavin had macaroni and cheese and Kyle and I had Navajo tacos. They had the most amazing key lime pie.

After dinner we saw "And What She Found There". This is the play Kyle created and directed with his graduate cohort. I enjoyed it very much. Significantly better than the project last year. Kyle is such a creative and skilled director. He really made a very mediocre script extremely intriguing and interesting to watch. And I love him the most even though he didn't come home from the cast party until 3:00am.

I didn't like the play very much at all. (Kyle won't write anything else right now because he is in the middle of writing a paper about Caravaggio. If he could add to this he would say he loves his wife dearly and will never again stay at a cast party until three in the morning.)

I thought daddy's play was funny. I loved it. I liked the character of the old woman because she made me laugh in my head. The macaroni and cheese was so good it made my head explode.

Children's Museum

Today we got to go to the Children's Museum with Uncle Jerry. Gavin had a great time but was sad Uncle Kirt couldn't join us. Uncle Kirt and Uncle Jerry gave Gavin a year pass to the Science Center in Arizona for his sixth birthday and it is also good at the Salt Lake Museum. It has been a great gift!

Easter

Happy Easter! The Easter Bunny left lots of surprises. Even a special message for Gavin. We all got lovely Easter baskets and the Easter Bunny picked up a skateboard from Grandma's house and hid it in the apartment especially for Gavin. Lots of eggs were hidden as well and none were in plain sight, but Gavin found them all!

New skateboard!

I love the skateboard. I think the skull is pretty cool.

Almost Easter

Today Brilliant Sky Toys had chicks and bunnies to pet. It was so much fun. We spent over an hour playing with all of the animals. Gavin particularly liked holding the chicks.

In the evening we dyed Easter eggs and made Easter cookies. Daddy was a little confused and decorated the cookies with snowmen and holly berries. Gavin thought that was great fun and the Easter cookies became the cookies of any holiday other than Easter.

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we had a fun Easter party with Gavin's homeschool group. The Piper's have a huge yard with lots of great hiding places for eggs. On the way over Gavin asked, "Is this going to be an Easter egg hunt, or an eggs laying around in plain site?" I told Glenda and she thought that was hysterical. She made sure to really hide some of the eggs just for Gavin. After the egg hunt Jessamyn read the kids an Easter book and they had an Easter lunch with egg shaped sandwiches.
