Our Day In Pictures

 Nate is borrowing my camera for the weekend to practice panoramic shots, so Megan borrowed Nate's camera, which she kept with her all day...so looking through her pictures is like catching a glimpse into our day.

Megan playing soccer early this morning.  Go Orange Crush!  These girls are serious about soccer.

Then she got put in as goalie.  Remember that part about girls being serious about soccer?  Having a child play goalie makes the mom job of watching soccer very, very stressful.  One of my friends (mom of the other goalie on the team) came and sat by me and reassured me I wasn't the only one who felt that way.  

Thankfully the game was  tie, and Megan assures me that I was definitely more nervous than she was!

After soccer we helped clean the church.

And the camera reveals why it took so long for the girls to sweep the gym...

Fun photos girls!

Then more fun with the camera...

And a little dress-up and attempts to pose the dogs...

Then it was Soccer Round Two.  Joie and Gabby played at the same time in different parks, so we divided up.  The camera and photographer went to Joie's game.  

Yes, Joie is now also playing soccer.  When Megan and Gabby were both playing, she couldn't be left out.  She's never played soccer before, but is determined to learn the game...

Stay tuned for the action shots.  

Then off to a pre-Easter egg hunt...

Gabby's first egg hut ever.  She's a little nervous here.  I told her she looked nervous, and she told her friend, "My mom can read my eyes.  She knew when I had a crush, and she knows when I'm nervous."

But first more soccer with cousins while waiting for the egg hunt to start...

And kickball

Because apparently soccer actually does get old after a while.

Then finally!

The Hunt

Jarmans always hide rubber ducks as part of the fun.  If you find them (and can reach them...30 feet in the air) they're worth a huge chocolate Easter Bunny.  Jeran found one.

Frosting sugar cookies

Then time to go home...

But not before stopping at mine and Nate's favorite store on the way home.

(Obviously Megan waited in the car.)

Still waiting...

And yes, those are her feet.  And her socks.  

Because mismatched is in!

And not captured on camera:  Tim introduced Gabby to The Osmonds.  Later when Gabby was riding with me she requested "Number 6" meaning CD number 6 in the car.  Everyone else knows you don't listen to CD number 6 when mom is in the car.  It's not that I dislike the Osmonds.  It's just that...well...  They're just so pop.  Tim and I agreed a while ago that we could still love each other and disagree about the Osmonds.  Never mind that he's turned all of our children toward the dark side...now Gabby too.  (Me waving a white flag.)

And so beings Spring Break Week.  We leave for the cabin for a few days starting tomorrow.

Catch you all next week!
