Tennis Lesson

Owen started in on tennis lessons with Chloe on Tuesday afternoons.  He couldn't take it sitting on the sidelines watching his sister have fun after the last six week session.

Yay for tennis lessons to get both kids more exercise and fun!

A Puppet Show Afternoon

This afternoon, we drove downtown to meet Martin and Luke to see a puppet show at the Atlanta Center of Puppetry Arts.  After the puppet show, the kids got to make their own puppets.  Martin helped Luke and Chloe with building their puppets while Todd helped Owen build his.

Here is Owen's puppet.

They all had fun glueing the pieces of the puppets together.

The puppets glowed in the dark under black lights.

But they were easier to see outside in the sunlight.

Then we drove to a Mexican restaurant for dinner and I got a few photos of Martin and Luke together.

Chloe has told us she may marry Luke when she grows up, so I got a picture of the two of them sitting on a bench together.  If she is a true fortune teller, we'll have a good story (and photo!) to play at their wedding.  ;)

After dinner, we gave them their Christmas presents.  Because it's nice when Christmas can be celebrated in March.  

Baseball and Karate

The morning started with opening ceremonies and a baseball game.

Then we went to a friend's karate birthday party.

They had fun playing all kinds of games.

They played Karate Ball (similar to Dodge Ball) and tried not to get hit by the ball.

They tried to hit pads out of the air with swords.

Jumping the Morning Away

This morning we checked out a new bouncy place recommended by a friend and the kids loved it.

They jumped on trampolines.

A Visit with the Eye Doctor and a Little Baseball

It was time for our annual eye doctor appointment and Owen wanted to go first.

I love this sweet boy.

Chloe was watching on as Owen read aloud the letters he saw on the screen.

Then she was trying to tickle her Momma and get away before being caught.  This produced many giggles.

Owen did well with all of the choice A's or B's and was told he has outstanding vision.

Then it was Chloe's turn to read through the letters.  And because the letters are shown from a computer, our little Sneaky Sneak couldn't memorize all the letters.

Chloe was also told she has perfect vision.  Woot!

Then we went to the batting cages.

Owen was hitting the 40mph balls.  Wow!
