Lyla and Reesi's spring program at preschool was last Thursday. The theme was Noah's ark. Each class was dressed a different way. Lyla's class was dressed like construction workers. Reesi's class was dressed like animals. Reesi was a bird. They did a great job and were so cute.
I went to The Discovery Center with Grace's kindergarten class last week. I was so glad I was able to go with her. She's so sweet and loves for me to be there. She held my hand the whole time. It makes me sad to think that her desire for me to be with her will soon fade.
Grace lost her 2nd tooth last week. We started to get a little concerned because the permanent tooth had started coming up behind, way behind, the baby tooth. It was coming in sideways too. Grace wouldn't let Eric pull the tooth. I thought I was going to have to take her to the dentish to have it pulled. I called Julie and asked her what to do and she said to tell her to twist it, don't just move it back and forth. She said it's normal for this to happen and not to worry because the new tooth will move into place once the baby tooth is gone. The very next day Grace let the school nurse pull it! I was so glad! I hope Nurse Ruthie pulls all of the teeth!
Lyla had her Easter Egg Hunt and party last Tuesday at preschool. The kids were very excited. The eggs were hidden in the courtyard playground. When the doors opened they darted every which way to find the eggs. Lyla was running everywhere. Then right at the end when the eggs had all been found Lyla dropped her basket and all of her eggs fell out. Some of the other kids saw more eggs rolling on the ground and started grabbing them. Lyla was soooo upset. That is the picture of her crying. I tried to explain that the teachers were going to redistribute the eggs while the kids were eating so that everyone got the same number of eggs. This didn't console her at all. The rest of the party she was quiet, sad and upset. Poor thing.
Eric turned 33 on March 31st. The girls went to my parents' house the previous weekend so we planned a night with friends for his birthday. We went to a great pizza place in Nashville and then came back for ice cream cake! yum-o! That ice cream cake was the devil though! It kept calling my name EVERY SINGLE night until it was gone! I HAD to answer the call each and every night so it would shut up and go away. Ice cream is one of my favorite treats. I wish I could eat it every day. Anyway, we put candles on the half eaten cake a couple of nights later for his actual birthday with the girls. 
Jim's 60th birthday was a couple of weeks ago. Peggy and the other kids planned a surprise party for him. Evidently, he figured out what was going on though. Some returned invitations in the mail and Peggy carrying dish after dish to Michele's house gave away the surprise. He played along though and smiled big when the came in the building. He seemed to have a good time and enjoy talking to all of the friends and family that showed up. I didn't get very good pictures though, which I regret. They were moving so fast when they came in that they came out blurred. Oh well, you get the idea.
