Introducing sports

4/5/2008 We brought out a little bag tricks we bought a few years ago. Alex was really interested in the various things in the bag.
First attempt - badminton
Nicholas kinda gets it
No one is able to hit the birdie in air - not even Daddy.

A week off

I had the week after Easter off. Unfortunately, David had to work for most of the week. But, we managed to compress our usual in-town-fun into a couple of days.

3/29/08 Back at the zoo. This is the first time we haven't brought strollers for the boys. We tried renting the zoo's big stroller. Too bad we couldn't use it on the way to the parking lot. Nicholas fell asleep, and I had to carry him from stroller rental to the car. I was ready for a nap, too, by the time we made it to the car!

3/29/08 - The boys had their faces painted. Both wanted a blue star. Alex almost refused to take a bath because he didn't want to lose his blue star. We took pictures as a compromise.
3/26/08 - Boy are we all glad that we can play outside. The boys love to play with lavender. Alex likes to pick it apart and throw it down the umbrella hole on his table.
This is where he wants to plant "tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, and flowers" in the backyard this year. Nicholas is so happy to be outside again.

Of course, it is still fun to come inside and paint.

Easter

March 22, 2008 - Coloring eggs at home. We practiced coloring eggs at Nana's a week earlier, but they just dumped the colors and smashed the eggs. It went much better at home.

Alex was painting.
It is fun to color the eggs and glitter paint them.
This was right before Nick stopped painting the eggs and started painting his face.
3/23/08 - Checking out what the Easter Bunny brought.

Yummy

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Jenn brought their Wii over for the kids (yeah, right) to play with.

All the kids in Nana's play room.
