What did you do on Earth Day?

We went to the Children's Museum!

Watching a beaver video in the beaver lodge.

Making paper.




Eleanor next to her Charlotte's Web drawing.

Zach wrote his name pretty much all by himself!



Would you like a lobster, mom? Of course!


The kids served a lot of yummy food. Too bad it wasn't real!

It's rare to see Zoe with her hair down, so I had to snap a picture. So beautiful!


Kate is giving "her" duck a shower.

We spent some time learning about worms.

We even brought some worms home!

A day at the Children's museum is always fun!

Now for a recap of our Wednesday. Noah wasn't feeling well, but we forged ahead with our plans anyway. Here is Noah while the kids were getting in the car. Zoe was in charge of him for a bit, so she tried to cheer him up with her sunglasses.

He just laid on the floor and let her have her fun. I gave him some medicine before we left, which perked him up for most of our outing.

We went to storytime and then we stopped at the field, so Zoe could practice pitching. It was so sunny and warm while we were there. Just perfect. Zoe didn't get much practicing in, though because the younger kids insisted on being near us. They did spend a little bit of time rolling down a hill and eating some snacks.

We went to the park, but it became cloudy and a bit cooler and Noah's medicine began to wear off. He wanted to be held after I pushed him on the swing. It was sad to see him so lifeless at the park!

The best part of Wednesday was getting our dryer fixed! Yay! I was so happy to be able to do laundry again! I still am. :-)

Zoe, Emily, and I went to softball practice Wednesday night. It started to rain as we were practicing, but the girls didn't complain. The rain was light enough that we were able to get all of our practice in. We have a great group of girls on our team this year!

I'll end with another cute saying from Kate that she said this morning.
Me: "All of the girls have a strike!" (There has been a lot of fighting going on this morning.)
Zach: "Do I have a strike?"
Me: "No."
Kate: "Do I have a strike?"
Me: "No."
Kate: "But I'm a girl, too!"
