I'm not sure if I'll come up with ten things, but we'll give it a shot:
1. We're in the "final countdown" at school. I think we have about 8 weeks left until summer break. This has been a challenging year with more responsibilities at school and less planning time during the day, but I've survived! With that being said, though, I'm ready for a break!
2. Ryan just had his Kindergarten screening yesterday at school. Ryan said they asked him to count to 20 and he said, "I can count to 200!" No one likes a show-off, Ryan. :) He is ready, though, as he is now checking out books at the library and trying to read them on his own.
3. One of the teachers told me Ryan asked if he'd be starting Kindergarten "tomorrow or the next day?" Guess he feels he's ready! She told him to go home and find "August" on the calendar as that's when he would begin. :)
4. With all of the wonderful learning Ryan is doing, sometimes he says things that make me scratch my head. When we were getting ready to leave Jen and Jeremy's house in Cleveland, Ryan was telling Leah that she should come to his house sometime. He then asked, "Mom, which is longer? Driving from our house to Cleveland or Cleveland to our house?" I told him it was the same both ways, and I think I rocked his world with that info.
5. My Lenten sacrifice this year was to give up Facebook, and Joel gave up chocolate...which means we are two, grumpy out-of-touch people at our house. ;) I have been asked so many times about if giving up FB has been hard. I will admit the first two weeks were really, really hard. I love FB because I can just check in on people and see what's going on with them. However, lately FB had been giving me a little bit of anxiety, so it was nice to take a little break from it. I'm probably going to limit my time on the site when Lent is over...Well, at least for a few days. Ha, ha!
6. Speaking of Lenten sacrifices, our kids really wanted to give up something this year. Ryan said he was going to give up candy, and Reese gave up "Tom and Jerry." Ryan told me a few days after Ash Wednesday that someone had brought in candy for a snack, but he couldn't have any because he "gave it up for Lent." I have to point out he was telling me this
while popping Smarties into his mouth, one after another. When I pointed out that Smarties are a candy he said, "No, they're not--they're a
treat!"
7. Speaking of treats, we went to an Easter egg hunt this weekend with Kelly and her girls. Reese and Ryan ended up spending the night with my parents that night, so they got to have a treat out of one of their eggs after dinner. Ryan immediately said his tummy was hurting, so sat on my mom's lap for a little bit. Pretty soon he started coughing and vomited repeatedly about 4-5 times--all over himself, my mom, and the chair. I think they were both stunned! It turns out he had a few malted milk balls--which contain wheat in them. The good news is he didn't have an anaphylactic reaction--which is what we typically think happens with wheat. This was just like his reaction he had after eating the brownie after the food allergy walk last August. The bad news was he and my mom had to deal with the mess! Thanks to my parents for taking such good care of him. In the future, we will make sure we check his candy immediately.
8. We do have two other kids, even if I haven't mentioned them in this post. That's kind of the way it works sometimes, isn't it? Sometimes one kid just keeps giving you the material you need to work with... :)
9. Reese is a little bookworm. Every time I turn around, she has her head stuck in a book. She loves the
Magic Tree House, American Girl, and
Puppy Place series books. I just bought the
Little House on the Prairie series and hopes she likes them as much as I did!
10. Reid is just a ball of fun! He is learning how to walk and can now take about 6-8 steps in a row. He gets so proud of himself and will squeal in delight when he's done. It won't be long until he's walking all over!

Reid checking out his basket. He got a sippy cup and a book we can fill with pictures of his family...or maybe people he would prefer to have in his family. ;)
After church we came home and enjoyed the gorgeous weather outside.
I couldn't resist taking pictures of my little guy!
He just loved this little egg!
He was only 4 days old last year on Easter. What a big boy now!
This was truly an Easter miracle--Reese actually put her arm around her brother and hugged him without being told, coerced, or bribed!
I love both of these pictures... 
...I just feel so blessed!
Me with my little cuties!

Reid just loves his daddy!

What a good lookin' bunch!
We had to get one final shot of the cousins before we headed for home. 
She also designed these circles, which I cut out and put around the tables.

We love you, Reidy Bug!!
