Easter

We had a great Easter with lots of candy and lots of outside time.  Last night we had a nice dinner with the Feltons.  Today we went to the pool and the beach.

Julia at school

Here's a photo from Julia's teacher.  She's doing her "work".  In this "work", she puts the toys that start with h on the letter and leaves the rest in the bin.  She's gotten really good at letters and sounds.

This weekend we also saw Doktor Kaboom, a live science show that the kids loved.  And Joanna and John went to the Sounders game while Alex and Julia hung out with their friends/babysitters Lila and Kaye.  Julia threw a fit for the ages when we told her she had to go home from Lila and Kaye's.  Apparently, they had a lot of fun.

State Tourney!

Alex played in a second chess tournament and got second place in the kindergarten division!  He has qualified for the state tournament and (at least right now) we are planning to go.  Alex went to a friend's birthday party at Pump It Up last weekend and was entertained by a Stormtrooper Magician.  He was a pretty good magician for a Stormtrooper.

Julia continues to amaze us with her tennis skills.  She has also been very, very, very interested in the Disney princesses Cinderella, Aurora, Rapunzel, and Merida the last few weeks.

City Pass

We successfully closed out the Seattle City pass with trips to the Space Needle and EMP Museum.  At EMP, Julia played drums and guitar.  Alex played the keyboard.

We keep running into R2D2.

Alex did great in another chess tournament.  He finished second place in the kindergarten division in a large open tournament.  He has qualified for the state tournament!
