Pre-Easter Fun

Today we had an egg hunt in our backyard with cousins. The kiddos had so much fun.

Sunshine!

Today has turned into a nice sunny day. So, as soon as Abby got home from school we left to have a picnic and play at the park. Abby had so much fun with friends, and Ben decided grass isn't quite as bad as he thought.
I just enjoyed sitting in the sun, soaking up some vitamin D.

Flowers...

What a beautiful day today! Abby and I spent part of the afternoon planting flowers. We had so much fun!

Introducing...

...Captain Awesome! I love these pj's on Ben. He wears them well, and has  the perfect personality for them.

Exhausted

It has been a long week. Abby thinks she doesn't need naps anymore, so by the time bed time rolls around, she is pretty unmanageable. Tonight she didn't want to go to sleep, so after prayers and stories we left her to her own devices. When we went up to go to bed, this is where we found her. Fast asleep IN her toy chest!

PJ day

We're having a pj day today. Allergies have hit our house hard. Abby was throwing up all day yesterday from coughing so hard. Ben's poor nose keeps running.
Abby decided to bring ALL her blankets down to the living room and made a bed/nest. Silly girl.

SB: last day

Finally a sunny day! We went to Point Defiance Zoo. The kiddos had a blast! We are looking forward to coming a lot this summer!

SB: D3

Today started out with breakfast at Denney's. The kids loved it! Then we went shopping for Easter outfits. Abby insisted that her 'abby bear' also needed an Easter dress. Now we just need to coordinate something for Ben.

The kiddos enjoyed being pushed around in the laundry basket.
Ahhh...the simple pleasures of life.

Spring break..

...day 1. A rainy trip to Costco. Hoping for better weather the rest of the week.

My little...

...Pillsbury dough boy. Here's Ben enjoying spaghetti and breadsticks for lunch today!

What do you do...

... with a Scurvy Pirate?

MAKE THEM WALK THE PLANK!

Gerritt let me get out for a couple of hours this evening with my sweet sister-in-law. This is what I found them doing when I got home. They were playing Pirates, and making everyone walk the plank.

ARRRR!!

Just another day...

...in paradise! Ben loves to read books. Or eat them, you decide. Oh, by the way, I love that I can blog from my phone now. Maybe I'll be better now about keeping up.

TGIF!

Happy Friday! Hello spring break!
