Yeah, I'm behind. Constant state. Been trying to take at least one picture a day of the kids to send to Robert. They do so many things - special and ordinary. So here's Sam brushing his teeth. He's finally getting into it. He won't come upstairs to get dressed but he will to brush his teeth. I'll take it as long as it lasts!
Gabby loves to go to Home Depot for their Kids' Workshop. She made a birdhouse this month. She does a great job hammering and all. Just has to watch Mommy - I tend to put things in backwards. So many things to distract, especially when I have to take them both. But it came out cute and she loves it. So we'll keep going when we can. If you've never been, it's the first Saturday of each month in the morning. They get an apron to keep and get a pin to add for each project they complete. They get a certificate for each project too. And it's free. We like free. In Kansas, you just showed up and did the project when you wanted to. Here you have to sign up in advance and it is limited. So check your store. But it is a fun way to teach them to use tools without having to prepare all the stuff yourself.
I'll get some Easter pics up soon. But I warn you, I never got a good one of the kids all dressed up today. They were not cooperative on that! Maybe next Sunday they'll do better!
Last Friday we went to the Tacoma Mall to see the Easter Bunny. Pretty had to go back to Build-A-Bear for a bath before we saw the Easter Bunny. She also got a new Tinkerbell outfit.
My kids and the Easter Bunny. Sam did way better than with Santa last year. He wasn't sure at first but then was ok. 
After shopping and eating, the kids played in the play area for a while. Sam figured out how to stand on the piggy.
No, I did not manage to get cute pictures of my angelic children on Easter like everyone else. It just never worked out. These were the best I could do. Maybe they'll do better another Sunday when there is not so much excitement. 
The pictures of hunting eggs were better. Sam was way more into it than I thought he would be. Gabby was really sweet and they worked together well, finding all the eggs the Easter Bunny hid pretty quickly. Sam had to see what was inside.
We had two beautiful days at the beginning of last week's Spring Break. We tried to stay outside as much as possible! The kids ate their picnic under the swingset. Jordan somehow managed to get herself shut in the playhouse. Not sure how she got the door shut without thumbs but she did it. It didn't seem to bother her too much. She likes it shady and cool.
Here's Sam at Gabby's T-ball practice tonight. They took a short break and he ran over, put the helmet on backwards, found a ball, put it on the tee, came back and found the bat and went over to hit. He was so cute. Of course I did not have my camera but one of the other moms had her camera phone and kindly snapped this one and sent it to me. He loves to do whatever Ga-Ga does!
