just a warning...lots and lots of pictures - may be boring and a bit over the top..

Xavier had its first dance-a-thon. As you can see the kids had a great time. The dance-a-thon was/is the only fundraiser for our school and as of yesterday earned 12k... not bad!!! I had my doubts but it was a huge success!!! Mckenzie came home saying that she wanted to convince the board that they should implement a dance-a-thon every week or at least every other week. The school danced for 6 straight hours. The lower grades (each of my kids classes) danced in 1/2 hour intervals. I had a hard time getting a good picture of Reese because he was really moving fast (need to figure out moving shots on my camera) This was a workout...the teachers got enough exercise for a long time (btw... love, love, love the teachers!!!)- they worked and danced hard. This school is so amazing and we are so happy to be apart of it.

The college had an Easter egg hunt. The kids were divided in groups. Mckenzie was too old so she helped with Meili. Meili, Davis and Lili collected eggs at the same place and Reese had to go to another location.... I feel bad I did not get a picture of him.... They also had arts and craft tables set up. It was a beautiful day and so nice to get out. My little girls did not think the bunny was that amusing. I so appreciated Tracey's extra hands and the invite to the party!!! Love the picture of she and I and the Easter bunny. Thank heavens for good friends!!!

This picture should be with the dance -a-thon pictures but I can't figure our how to get it there. Davis glued his picture while he waited for his turn to dance.

We made a pinata in cub scouts this week and it needed another layer so we did this for Family Home Evening. We enjoyed getting our hands all goopy. Scott thought he was funny and took about 30 pictures of me .... just to be painful.
Lili's foster family sent these drinks with her when they gave her to us. I bought a few extra while we were in China. Davis and Meili wanted to try one so I let them - they did not like them but Lili was soooo happy to have them. She enjoyed every drop and loved holding and playing with the bottles. Lora told me I needed to post a picture of her chubby feet... so here it is ( and I can't figure out how to get the Easter picture with the others... )

Looks yummy, huh. What kind of a mom am I to let this happen....and right before dinner. They enjoyed themselves and I thought it looked kind of fun.

... very important... notice Meili is in big girl panties :) she decided this week she was done with diapers... YEAH!!!

Have a great week!!!

Peace xoxox
