Easter

Leave it to my dad to discover silly things to do with plastic Easter eggs.

Half Marathon

Here's the evidence. I really did run that thing. It was worth it to see Team Tillman on the finish line. Isn't Brandon great? He made those shirts the night before after I'd gone to bed and surprised me.

Leprechauns

The girls spent an entire Saturday last month making leprechaun traps with Cole and Haley. They were very elaborate -- bridges, trap doors, and the old "knock-out-the-stick-and-get-stuck-under-a-Wendy's-cup" trick. The finishing touches were some misleading (shamelessly lying) notes to Mr. Leprechaun, i.e. "There is gold in sied," and "This is a house for you and it is not a chrap," along with a light dirt-dusting for footprint identification.

Random

I can't help but put this up. Classic kid fun. They don't require much for entertainment.

Sunday phone call

This is what Cael does during the Tillman Sunday phone call. (We put him on mute, and he talks the whole time. He laughs along with everyone, says "yeah" at all the right times, makes funny noises, and thinks he's a part of the action).

Putting those kids to work!

We've also done a lot of construction lately -- helping my parents finish their basement. The kids helped bring in the insulation.
