We have been enjoying the warm spring weather by playing outside a lot. The kids love to feed the ducks in the lake nearby.
Drew likes to watch the resident nutria swim around the best.

And a cute picture of Drew.
Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit during Grandma's spring break. They got to try out the new air mattress in the playroom, since we got rid of the guest room.
The ducks liked Anna's handouts the best, as she tended to throw entire hunks of bread at them. "Big score, ducks!"
Drew ate most of his bread.
Last Friday there were only 7 kids in my AP Biology class- caused by a combination of the impending spring break, LSU spring testing, the Mu Alpha Theta convention, and the culmination of Senior Projects. Those present built a fort under the lab tables and studied, sort of.
Last Saturday, the neighborhood had its annual Easter Egg hunt. This is the first year that we haven't had other plans, so I loaded the kids up in the wagon and headed out to give Shaun some peace and quiet while he recovered from a nasty cold.
Drew didn't really understand that he was supposed to put the eggs in his basket and leave them there. I have some videos of him picking up eggs, then dumping them out repeatedly.
Until I told him that there was chocolate inside of the eggs... then he immediately plunked down and started eating, refusing to stop to go get more!
Anna's age group was in a different area of the park, so Sam graciously accompanied her while I filmed Drew. They HAULED those eggs in!
Enjoying the fruits of their labor the next morning:
YEAH!!! CANDY FOR BREAKFAST!!!
Anna found some "Jazzercise" clothes at the store and insisted that I buy them for her. Since she is too young to actually go to a Jazzercise class with me, we have been going running in the evenings. She can do about half a mile right now, which I think is pretty impressive!
Because she is fairly ODD, we have to make running/exercise a privelege that she only gets to enjoy when she listens to us and follows our directions... This is the same method we employed when we told her that only adults get to eat broccoli.

Hmmm, maybe you are on to something. More of us need to think of exercise and green veggies as rewards for good behavior! :)
