Better busy than bored!

Busy week (and then some) since I last posted. Went to another birth - this one was a close friend of mine having her 8th baby! Only one more birth to go for April! I'm hoping it doesn't come on Brynn's birthday or the day of her party!
Darrin's started softball practices for this year. That's always a sure sign of spring!
Well, last week we got a call at 9:45 pm - I thought for sure it was someone in labor calling at that hour, but no - it was someone calling about church stuff! And then the NEXT night we got a call at 10:30 at night - again, I expected someone in labor, but NO it was someone calling about the Sandy City Elementary Art Show! They were calling to tell us Brynn had won an award and we should come to the award ceremony the next day. Gee, thanks for the advance notice and the late night phone call! So when my friend called at 11:30 the third night to tell me her water broke, I was half expecting it to be some other lame reason for a late night call!
But anyway, back to the art show! Brynn won the honorable mention in the kindergarten age group for a piece she did as part of the school's great artists' program Here she is with the other winners:

And picking out some art supplies for a prize:

And with the T-shirt she got for being a winner:

And this morning, Kyra ran her first 5K race! Just just up and decided out of the blue that she wanted to run, so she did! Here she is before the race:

On the course:

And crossing the finish line:

She finished 10th in her age bracket with a time of 49:52! Not bad for someone who just decided a few days before that she wanted to run the race and did NO training.
And Callie? Well, she's been cooking again:

This time she was making chocolate cookies and rolling the dough into balls before dunking it into powdered sugar.

Perhaps you should have put the explanation BEFORE the picture--in which her hands looks scorched. I was so glad to see it was just chocolate.
