School Carnival

Last night we went to the Tea school carnival. We spent the evening playing games and eating treats. The kiddo's loved it. The highlight of the evening had to be Scott. They had those large inflatable slides in the High school gym. Scott saw this monster of a slide and just had to ride it. He took his shoes off and slowly started ascending to the top of the slide. Many times he started to turn back as he realized how far from the ground he was getting. But myself, avery and heidi all coerced him into continuing on his voyage. Once at the top he started down the slide. The look of shear terror on his face was priceless. I only wish I could of captured it on camera. After his initiation, he couldn't get enough. He had a blast. Here are some picts of the highlights.

The kids doing yoga on the Wii before we left. I guess they had to prepare mentally.

A cupcake walk....Avery won. She was very excited.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

Today we went to the St. Patricks Day parade. The kids really enjoyed it. This parade is an annual tradition in Sioux Falls. Anyone can be in the parade for just $2. This opens the parade participants to a very eclectic and diverse groups. We saw some very interesting things. It was so funny and needless to say we had a blast. Here is some highlights.

Happy St. Patricks Day

Me and the kids made this Jibjab. There was only one template for a boy. I made an executive decision, therefore Scott is wearing a dress. Grandma Slater, Avery wanted you in this one as well. Enjoy!

Little fun in the Sun

I am really trying to avoid writing my thesis so instead I decided to play. It was because of the weather really. It broke 50 degrees today. What a great day! So the whole family decided to shirk our responsibilities and emerge from our winter dwelling to soak up the sun. First time the kids have wanted to go outside since November. Scott got better batter baseball for christmas but has been unable to use it. We assembled it and took it to the yard. He loves it. In fact he was pretty ticked when we made him go inside.
