the Schrader 5

No big news to report. Ethan had his stitches taken out yesterday. It obviously looks much better. The boys have two major hobbies now. Grandma Pat sent them Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for the Wii for Easter. They have been playing that quite a bit and they have all decided to become professional skateboarders. They spend every free moment practicing their moves. Tonight we went for a walk in the rain and they insisted on bringing the skateboards along. But, no worries, if their skateboarding careers don't work out for them they have back-up. They are also all ready to become members of The Naked Brothers Band. We have some serious rockers on our hands these days. I must say, I highly recommend The Naked Brothers Band Movie to anyone. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I got the Eagney girls addicted to it over the weekend! Now where ever I go I can here some Naked Brothers tunes! Even Chris belts out some tunes here and there! He was singing Motor Mouth just tonight!

I had a great birthday today despite the lousy weather and having to work. The kids at school all drew me lovely pictures and notes. Mike, Melissa, and the girls came over after school to drop off my presents and chat for a while. Then Noah requested that Chris get us Moe's for my birthday dinner. After dinner the boys "surprised" me with a Baskin' Robbins cake. It was delicious and I haven't had one in years! We took a nice walk in the rain and came home and watched, you guessed it, The Naked Brothers Movie! Hardcore wrestlers with inner feelings!!!
