Ivan got plenty of time on the field and his team won just as the heavy rain began on Saturday.

Ivan got a haircut like his sister, but for him this trip was all about the stop for frozen yogurt. Gummy frogs are a topping!
He found a penny in the bathroom and used it to throw into the fountain solemnly saying, “I wish for more screen time.”
Scholastic Book Orders Came in Thursday
Ivan read the whole thing in one sitting. Kids picking their own books is brilliant.
He also got Super Diaper Baby by Dav Pilkey and recounted the whole plot to me in the car this morning complete with trivia questions for me.

It took some doing but he got it to stay with no hands.
Crowns also make good vehicles for small plastic guys.

Outside the Convention Center it was a lovely day. Here are the two kids running along the lake and Eric walking carrying a bag full of Doctor scarves & hats.
While walking the kids spotted the 31st Street Beach. They ran the whole half mile down the lake to the beach and begged to play in the sand. When we left they asked when they could come back to the beach.

We left the beach with more freckles than we came with – mark of a good day!
Game Time
Ivan had his first game yesterday and his second today.
Two games in two days.
Ivan’s team lost the first and won the second.
Ivan kicked the ball in the right direction.
He was hit in the head hard with the ball at the end of the first game and still really excited to play again.
The team is working on noticing when the person who has the ball is on their team and not stealing it.
They are also working on seeing open players and remembering to watch the ball when on defense.
It’s pretty adorable and passionate on the Kindergarten soccer field.
Ezri made this to cheer for her favorite player yesterday. Today she mostly climbed trees with another player’s older sister.
This post may contain egg
Our egg dying fun. The kids drew hearts and names on the eggs in white crayon until they realized they could draw butts. Ivan was excited to learn the word buttocks which is fancy for butt cheeks. He proudly proclaimed, “I have THREE BUTTOCKS!” It is not true. Eggs in lots of pretty colors.

Thanks, Ivan!
