1.  Saturday we decided to have some long overdue play dates.  Each kid got to choose one friend.  We've never had all of them have play dates at the same time and were a little nervous, but it went great and we couldn't have picked a nicer day!

Tate and his friend Z

Avery and her friend S
(this is the friend whose telephone number she has memorized even though
she can't always remember OUR telephone number)

Beckett and his "best friend" Jackson
They always say our cousins are our first friends!  So true for these two.
 

2.  I'm kind of lovin' that my kids are to an age that they yell as they are running out the door who they are playing with and I don't have to worry to much that they will be fine.  Don't get me wrong, part of me is so sad that they are growing so fast, but cooking supper in peace while listening to squealing kids in the backyard is one benefit I will take any day!

3.  Summer weather in March = pure happiness for all!

4.  Tate started basketball this week and is really loving it.  He hasn't played basketball much and it is interesting seeing him get to an age where he is conscious of other people being more skilled than he is.  We reminded him that it was his only first game and that everything new he tries will need practice.  He asked E for some pointers after the game and is practicing up for next week.  They decided that he is a great dribbler but needs work on being aggressive and guarding on defense.  Maybe a B-E-A-G-G  R-E-S-S-I-V-E cheer is in order from his retired cheerleading mother next week.  What do you think?  No?

5.  Yesterday was "Crazy Hair Day" at preschool and today was "Wacky Day" for the older two at school.

Today was perfect because I had to work all day which meant E had to get the kids ready for school.  He was excited when I told him the kids could wear whatever they wanted and the less matching the better.

Have a crazy, wacky weekend!!!
