......the earrings! Taylor got her ears pierced today. We have talked about it a few times and I had told her when she was ready that I would let her. Well, I guess today was it. We had planned to go to the mall and she started thinking about it last night going back and forth of doing it and not. I honestly didn't think it would happen. Then....there was only 1 person working untill later in the day so each ear had to be done seperately. Now....I really thought that was a deal breaker but Taylor didn't want to wait. She picked her earrings and was done within minutes. Of course, we then had to shop for earrings which she won't be able to wear for 8 weeks but it was super fun for her. I think Emma will be next. She has been talking about it for a long while but I said she had to wait till she was 5. Ella....who knows!?
The many adventures of spring break.....Dave planned a night at a new local indoor waterpark http://www.splashbaymaumee.com/for Monday and Tuesday. I had fun on the lazy river with the girls while Taylor enjoyed the smaller waterslides in the kids area. Emma still isn't much of a water bug but she took to the game of bowling we also got in this week. We also tried our luck at roller skating. The girls and I went with our good friends Heather, Ashley and Tanner. They can adjust the spin of the wheels according to the child's ability which was nice since none of the girls have been on skates before. They all did pretty well although Ella seemed to like it the most.
We had a super fun Easter! The girls got to color LOTS of eggs Saturday night. We then, were up early Sunday for baskets, our family egg hunt and church. We then went to the shelter house for dinner and another egg hunt.
Miss Sheila and I put together a last minute Easter party for Emma & Ella's preschool class that turned out to be great fun. They got to do a craft, color eggs, decorate and eat cupcakes and strawberries, read stories and hunt for a prize hidden by Miss Sheila which is above. Back: Miss Sheila with Ella & Emma.

Here are the girls, Taylor with her friend, Ashley, at the Waterville town Easter egg hunt. It was kind of a last minute decision to this but it ended up being a fairly decent Saturday morning so we took advantage of the time to be outside.

Last week, Emma & Ella got to enjoy a field trip with their Shining Stars Preschool class to East of Chicago Pizza. They each got to make their own cheese & pepperoni pizza and enjoyed games and bowling while it was baking. It was great fun!
Now that we are all finally feeling better, we have been kept in the house by snow. The schools used their 5th snow day last Wednesday, when these photos were taken. Any more school cancellations and we will have to make up the days in the summer...YUCK! Last weeks snow was great for snowman making.
