Spring Break - Staycation Day 1

We sat down with the kids and wrote up a list of things we wanted to do during our staycation spring break.  One item was a late night movie night.  So we popped popcorn and we down to the theater room and watched "The Adventures of Tintin".  Sophie was sound asleep on my lap by the time the movie was half over. 

Timmy's Birthday

For Timmy's birthday he requested funfetti cupcakes in an ice cream cone.  He saw them on pinterest and they looked like fun to make.  They were actually quite time consuming - but turned out really cute.   Plus he is totally worth all the work. 

 

Happy birthday Timmy!!!

Easter 2012

Easter this year was less of a production than most years.  Between the wedding and spring break and how busy we were it was just fun to do a few small things together instead.  I bought the kids new blankets for Easter but gave them to them weeks ago so there goes the baskets....oh well.

 

We did make these yummy birds nest treats.  Delicious and Fun!

Sunday morning before church we dyed eggs

I'm pretty sure Sophie and Luke couldn't look much funnier.  

Crazy hair and Sophie did dark eye makeup.  Ha.

The sun was in their eyes so we couldn't get a cute picture ... oh well.

After church we did a lot of egg hunting at my parent's house.

Sophie's Perm

Sophie's hair drives me crazy so I took her in to chop it off and get a perm.  How cute is she with the curlers in her hair.  Sadly the perm didn't really take - but her short hair is really cute and she doesn't look homeless anymore :)

A day at the park

After we bought the bikes we rode over to the park with the kids and Shadow.  It was a beautiful day and nothing is better than playing together as a family!

New Bikes

Todd and I decided it was finally time to just get the boys good bikes.  We took them to Sports Authority and let them pick out new bikes.  They were so excited to have "real" bikes.  It took about 2 times up and down the sidewalk with Todd then Luke was riding like a champ.  Sure he didn't learn to ride a bike until he was almost 8 - but when he decided it was finally time he picked it up fast.  

 

On a side note:  did you notice both of our cars parked in the garage?  Yippee!  I didn't think the Durango would fit but with a little space management we've got them both in. 

Family Bowling Night

We thought it would be fun to go bowling as a family - Todd and the kids LOVE bowling.  

 Sophie was hilarious.  She would put her fingers in the holes.  Then run as fast as she could and throw the ball.  Then as it slowly rolled down she would stand watching it and was so excited when it would knock down pins she would jump up and down.
