Connor's soccer game
After the boys finished eating their snack they immediately ran over to play at the park. You can tell Connor isn't AT ALL disappointed about missing the game.

Ready for Kindergarten???
This is Aidens artwork from downtime the other day. He was turning the receiver volume up one notch at a time so he could copy the number. The TV was off so there wasn't any sound. I walked in when the volume was up to 24.
Almost Walking
Whitney's new thing is to grab hold onto anything that will move to help her navigate from point A to point B. I guess crawling on hardwood floors is getting old.
Play Date
Connor had a half day at school today so we had one of his friends over for a play date. They figured out the intercom on the cordless phones and all they wanted to do was talk to each other on the phone even though they were right next to each other. They just kept calling each other, saying "hi", and then hanging up so they could call each other again. lol!

Earth Day
What can YOU do to help the Earth? Being that today is Earth Day, here are some things that you can do to help protect our most valuable respurce:
Re-route your commute.
Walk or bike to work and save money on gas and parking while improving your cardiovascular health and reducing your risk of obesity.
Buy local.
Shop at your local farmers’ market. Though the offerings can be more expensive, you can generally count on a higher quality product—and the entire purchase price goes directly to the farmer. Buying any goods produced locally saves energy by reducing the fossil fuels needed to transport food and other items across the country and around the globe.
Skip the bottled water at the grocery or convenience store.
Filter your tap water for drinking rather than using bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it produces large amounts of container waste.
Have a HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Buy used.
Whether you’ve just moved to a new area or are looking to redecorate, consider a service like craigslist or FreeSharing to track down furniture, appliances, and other items, rather than buying them new. Check out garage sales and thrift stores for clothing and other everyday items.

Change the thermostat setting and install energy saving devices. 
Setting your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer can translate to substantial savings on your utility bills.
Install low-flow showerheads and take shorter showers to save water and the energy used to heat it. Or, consider eventually installing a solar hot water heater on your property.
Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible and use a drying rack or clothesline. When incandescent bulbs burn out, replace them with longer-lasting, low-energy compact fluorescent bulbs.
