Tigers Home Opener. We didn’t have tickets this year. And we didn’t go to the D. But, we still celebrated. Here I am all dressed up in my Tigers gear with a Mike’s Hard Cranberry Lemonade in hand. Some things are the same. Other things are different…the bottle is glass – not plastic, I’m wearing pink – not orange, I’m reading The Friday Night Knitting Club – not The Detroit Free Press, my seat is the best in the house – not at Comerica Park. But it was still a fun day. Kev even grilled hotdogs! AND, the Tigers SMASHED the Rangers 15-2, including a GRAND SLAM from Miguel Cabrera, and a horrible rendition of Take Me Out to the Ball Game by Kid Rock. Now, THAT’S a Home Opener to remember!

Kevin helps Jordyn with her Intro to Technology class project. She had to build a keyboard using specific dimensions. It’s not too often we see Kev wielding tools like this, so we have to capture it on film when the opportunity presents itself.

Today I was at the office very late. I didn’t get home until nearly 11 pm. Imagine my surprise to find this little guy waiting up for me on the couch. He missed me. So, I kissed him , took him upstairs, and tucked him in. And he fell asleep a content little boy.

Today we went to dinner at my sister’s house, where they discovered these duck eggs had been lain in one of their flower pots, up on the deck, next to the hot tub!! Unfortunately, we think the eggs have been abandoned and the ducklings are goners.

Another State victory means that the Spartans advance to the CHAMPIONSHIP! Kevin and Brian took Liam up to BW3 to watch the game. Liam was on the edge of his seat while he, Kevin, and Brian yelled and cheered and knuckled up in typical Hillary fashion. Victory over UCONN is imminent, and you can see it on these guys’ faces.

Today was Glenmoor Gals. A group of ladies from our old subdivision used to get together every first Friday of the month. We’ve let this tradition lax in recent months and decided to start the monthly outings up again. This girls night took us to Papa Joe’s and then to The Hills, where they have these fabulous flights of mini-martinis. SO fun!

Today was “Master of the House” at the Middle School where the Gold Team and the Blue Team compete against each other in various activities. Today, the Gold Team won. If you couldn’t tell, Jordyn is a member of the Gold Team! And proud to be the Master of the House. Go Gold!!

Liam had been dying to make this mosquito that he had seen at his friend Quinn’s house. So, tonight, Kev gave in, busted out the super glue, and helped him put two of these cute critters together. Very cute. And very easy. (Double A battery, golf tee, mini binder clip, & super glue.)

Owen thoroughly enjoys this snack of vanilla yogurt with Easter sprinkles. He enjoyed it so much, that he had two of them! Sprinkles definitely make life a little more fun.

Liam celebrates Michigan State’s Midwest Regional Final victory over Louisville (64-52), securing the Spartans a seat in the Final Four, by leaping off the ottoman into the air. Lots of hooting and hollering from him, and from Kevin, and a little from Owen, too.

AHHH, the annual Spring Fair and Silent Auction at the kids’ elementary school. This year’s theme was a sock hop. So I dressed up in my pink beehive wig and a poodle skirt, Jordyn was a Pink Lady, and my boys dressed up as greasers. Fun stuff.
