Spider-Girl

Marian's Brownie troop had a party at the fitness center, where they got to climb the rock wall. Marian couldn't get enough of it!

Happy Easter everyone!


Aidan was thrilled with his Easter basket treats!

Backyard Blue

For those who need MORE bluebonnet (and Brennan) pictures, I was playing around with the camera the other day and managed to get a few fun shots in the backyard.





I think this captures his personality better, even though it's out of focus.

I'm flying!

Look, Ma! No hands!

Jesus's 12

At church this weekend, Aidan pokes my shoulder during the Gospel reading, and says, "Jesus's twelve."
I said, "What?"
"Jesus's twelve"
"What are you talking about?" (thinking he's telling me Jesus is 12 years old)
"Jesus has twelve 'discycles'--Ms. Beth told me! This church only has 2." (Ms. Beth does chapel-time at preschool)
It dawns on me that the Gospel story has Jesus going to a town with 2 of his disciples. So I said, "You're right--Jesus has 12 disciples, there's just 2 in this story."
Aidan says, "Oh, so the other 10 are dead."

Kum-ba-ya

Here is our adventure in Girl Scout camping. I took some disposable cameras instead of my digital one, so the quality isn't so good, and it's amazing how many times my finger ended up in the picture!
Ready to go!

We weren't exactly roughing it. We got into the treehouse unit, so they were more like cabins instead of tents. They had a ceiling fan (don't want to think about how dirty that was), a light, and real toilets, but still the same hard cots as the rest of camp.

Learning a jig after s'mores on Friday night.

Their first activity was orienteering (using a compass). Some of them were actually getting the hang of it!
Making butterflies to send to the Holocaust Museum
Our hike took us to the Fishing Village
Marian did really well at archery. She hit the target twice!

Marian was so excited to go out in the canoe! They did great going around the lake.
