April we started baseball GAMES!  The chaos wasn’t quite so bad but we had to get grand parents involved so that there would be SOMEONE at all of the boys games.  Several nights all 3 boys had a game at the SAME TIME!!  I did NOT like that at all!!  I don’t like missing ANY games!!  S hit 2 homeruns this season and I missed both of them because I was at one of his brothers games!! Fields for games were on the East and West sides of town!!!  We raced from game to game every night!  We spent most nights at the ball field VERY LATE.  All but 3 of T’s 20+ games were 8:00 games!!  We were seldom home before 10:30!! 

We wrote Thank You cards to all our state Representatives & Senators that voted against same sex marriage.  We actually got a response back from 2 of them telling us thank you!  We also wrote out Red Envelopes and sent them to the White House as a stand against abortion.  Once again the boys were exposed to “politics”.

In April we read the books of Judges, Ruth and 1 Samuel.  We learned a lot about David and Saul.  We began learning about Ancient Greece.  Now the Old Testament is getting exciting for the boys!  We started reading The Children’s Homer (very interesting) and T read The Trojan Horse aloud to us.  T used his own money and bought MOBY DICK and read it in April!!!  WooHoo!!!  I was AMAZED!!  I’ve never read that book.

The Lea County Children’s Choir put on their concert in April. They sang songs from The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music.  HALF the choir did not show up for the concert and that was rather disappointing!!  But our boys did GREAT and had fun.  I don’t think we will be joining that choir next school year.

Easter was in April so we headed to our Annual Easter Reunion on the Saturday of Easter weekend.  As soon as they got all the eggs out for the hunt it started pouring rain!  They went ahead and hunted in the rain so all the kids were drenched when they got done!!  S won the prize for the Most Eggs Found!  He’s won lots of prizes this year!!

I think that about covers April.
