On Saturday of Easter weekend the Easter Bunny visited. The boys had a good time with their Easter baskets and hunting eggs - sugar high was the going order of the day!!

We also took time out to color Easter eggs. The boys love to experiment with making different color of eggs. At least this year we didn't get Army Green!! :)




We had a great time - and part of those eggs became an ingredient in potatoe salad for dinner the next day. YUMMY!!!!!  We're good for another year!

Good Friday! :)

On Good Friday we decided to head south to the science center and spend the day playing. We had a great time. K.J. has asked several times when we get to go again.

We played with bubbles?


We built rockets - right up dads alley- he enjoyed it as much as the boys!! :)


We built and arch - took all four of us to finally get it put together!

We launched the rockets - to see how far they would travel.

We looked at fossils?
We also took in a couple of presentations - reptiles and amphibians and one on really cold things. We had a great day.

March Madness!!

I'm playing catch up. The last couple of months have been crazy around here. So I'm going to attempt to post a few catch up posts on our blog. In march we made our annual trip to the zoo.

We had a beautiful day for our trip to the zoo. It was sunny and seventy degrees outside. It was perfect from start to finishes.




This little monkey and his companion were among our favorite animals that day. And he was certainly the absolute noisiest. You could hear him through out the entire zoo. The boys love it! :)


And to celebrat Saint Patricks day we had green sugar cookies - compliments of K.J.  He didn't want just green frosting - we had to had green food coloring to the actual cookie dough! :) They tasted good at any rate!!!

And of course we finished out the month by celebrating K.J.'s seventh birthday. Now on to April - tomorrow if you are lucky?!
