Andrew's Favorite Game

BOO!

Isaac's 4th

We celebrated Isaac's 4th birthday last week. I can hardly believe how quickly he has grown up into such a great little boy. We celbrated by going out for Chinese food (one of his favorites) and having a small party with friends on the weekend. What fun Isaac is and how grateful we are that he is part of our family!

Our Easter Table

The weekend for easter we had a really fun Easter brunch and egg hunt at our house. I made these centerpieces from wheatgrass, an idea I stole from The Reluctant Entertainer. So simple and so spring-ish. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures after our company came so the only record I have of the event is the table pre-party!

What I've Been Up To

I recently made this for Andrew for Easter. Since he is not of the chocolate bunny eating stage, I thought I could come up with a bunny he could chew (but not eat!). I had big plans for making a carrot or easter egg for him to hold as well, but if you've read the previous post I think you'll guess what happened to that plan...I still plan on making them, they just didn't make to the easter basket.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

I'm sorry to say that the blog post you are reading is extremely unpleasant. It tells a sickly tale of the Skinners. Even though most weeks we are up to lots of fun things, our lives this week have been full of sniffles and puke. From the very beginning of last week when we heard our first cough, continuing through our whole week, sickness has lurked at our heels. One might say we are magnets for germs.

I this short week alone, the skinner family has encountered several horrible coughs, banana medicine, Andrew's weight in snot, an ear infection, an emergency room doctor, Isaac's weight in puke and a Handy Manny video.

It is my sad duty to record these unpleasant facts, but there is nothing stopping you from closing your window and reading a happier blog, if you prefer that sort of thing.

With all due respect,

Lemily Skinnet

PS Maybe this borders on plagiarism, but who tells an unfortunate tale better than this author?
