Egg Hunt

Wow, April already! You can definitely tell it's spring with the change in weather daily! This weekend was our last weekend in KC for quite while as we'll begin traveling home next weekend. First for Easter, then the races will be starting the weekend after. Friday after school I and some other teachers drove to Lincoln, Nebraska. Our principal's mother passed away this week, so we attended the visitation and rosary. She asked us to stick around for some time with the family, so we didn't end up leaving for Kansas City until 11:00 and got home at 2:00 a.m. It was a very long day! I sure did miss my boys, but knew they were getting lots of Daddy time, which they enjoy!

Read the shirt...I couldn't resist!

Saturday our church had an Easter extravaganza. There were games, inflatables, and an egg hunt. Zane LOVED the inflatables! He kept going in them over and over! When it came time for the egg hunt, he had to "start" his shoes' engines so he could go "super fast" and get the eggs! His plan was that I would hold the basket and he would put them in his pocket so he could go fast. Afterwards, he wanted to know if he was the winner!

My three boys!

On your marks...

Saturday night we went to the Ottis' house for supper. Jason grilled burgers and hot dogs and we had a great meal! After supper we played cards. This time it was guys versus girls. It ended in a tie, the guys won the first round and the girls won the second round. Madelyn and Zane played so nicely together! We were there until 1:30, and both of them were still going strong, as Nora and Mason snoozed the night away!

The World According to Zane

• I don't even remember what I had done, but after doing it, Zane said, "That's it Mom. One more time and you're going to time out!" (Do you think he's heard that a time or two?)
• Payton, a friend from preschool, was talking to her mom about Curious George. She told her mom that Curious George reminds her of Zane. When asked why, she said, "Because Zane has a mind of his own!"
• When picking Zane up from preschool Tuesday, he was not listening well, so I called him by his full name. Another boy said, "Matthew Baker?" I said that was what I call him when he's in trouble and Zane said, "My name is Zane Matthew Baker Colletti!" (Colletti is Sam's last name, who is his buddy at Jo's house).
• Zane and Matt were getting ready for bed after taking showers and Matt had not combed his hair yet. Zane looked at him and said, "Dad, your hair does not look very good." Matt said he got this look like "that wasn't very nice," so he backtracked and said, "Dad, your hair not look like you!"
• Zane helped me peel potatoes for supper and was so proud of himself! When he was done, he put his hands on his low back and said, "My back hurts, I have to stretch!"
• My school had a book fair and pancake supper Thursday night. When I picked Zane up at preschool, I told him we were going to my school and he said, "Mom, I'm five?" We've been talking about him being able to come to school with me when he turns five, so he thought I meant he was going to get to ATTEND my school!
