Here we go again...

Another week without Daddy working on the blog. Let's see...we made it through Easter pretty uneventfully. This year, THe Easter Bunny knew that Malin could read, so he sent her on a wild scavenger hunt through the house. Malin found an egg with a riddle inside it in her bedroom. The answer to the riddle was the hiding place of the next egg. a dozen or so eggs and clues (and three trips back upstairs) later, she found her basket under a chair in the den. The Easter Bunny also knew that Gavin is getting really good with his counting, so each of his eggs had a number written on the outside. He had to find them in order, which led him on a trail to the playroom where he found his basket under his trampoline. Since Darin can't read or count yet, Malin and Gavin helped him find eggs in all his favorite places (car seat, stroller, etc) and found his basket in his pack-and-play. All three got clothes, some toys, some money, and of course, plenty of candy. Here are the girls in their Easter best at Mam-Maws, where the family gathered after church for dinner and an egg hunt.
	Here is Darin getting his first 'tubbie' this week.
The outside pipe that drains our sump pump has been clogged (for a year or more - there are other pictures of Gavin playing in the puddle it leaves in the yard), so one of Daddy's weekend projects was to dig it out and fill it with gravel. It went down about two feet, and of course Gavin couldn't resist the mud. Unfortunately for him, it was too deep and narrow for him to crawl back out of! Luckily, Daddy was there to rescue him, but not without snapping a picture first!
	And finally, one of Daddy's favorite past-times -- Oreo Double-Stuf's and milk (Oh yeah, and sharing them with his kids!)
