Lets Get Messy

Being at home with the kiddos has allowed me to get my hands into all kinds of crafts. Kind of fun for a girl in her 30's to have an excuse to buy the large package of Sharpie markers and maybe some colored pipecleaners......uh, for the kids.

Gus and I made "tie dye" shirts for him and a onesie for Drew by dropping alcohol drops onto circles made with sharpie markers. They come in such lovely colors now. Sigh.

This was before he decided that he should color himself and become a new kind of superhero. Luckily I was able to intercept the permanent markers and replace them with the washable kind! Have to post a pic soon of the two of them modeling their tee's.

Superheros

Cody is Gus bud from the old 'hood. He came to play superheroes this weekend.

Yes, these 3 year olds are particularly buff. They work out.

HAHAHA!

Day at the Park

Drew enjoying the shade of her favorite blankie.
A treasured gift from his cousin Jake, this Batman hood accompanies us on many outings.

Gus mastering the big boy swing.

The girls in their caps.

Professional Eater

Drew is off and running with the solids. She can slurp down a container of food in no time and only end up wearing around 1/4 of it. Not bad!

Backyard Fun

A combination sword/viking/Star Wars/rifle war with neighbor. There are 7 boys here from 3 to 11 and they all play together. Its awesome. At any time there could be around 4 minimum in our backyard. They are so great with Gus even though he is one of the youngest.
Works great when they are busy in our yard, allowing Aaron and I to finish a conversation and plant up some beauties. Cute mason jar full of fragrant dianthus.

Drew's Blues

Egg Hunt

We took Gus and Drew to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt the Saturday before the big day. What a gorgeous weekend for such a great holiday! Here is Drew posing for her first Easter egg hunt.
The grownups (and Gus)were disappointed in the fact that there was NO CANDY in the eggs! What?? Only stickers and worthless tchotkes that did not thrill any kid. What happened to the days of jelly beans and chocolate footballs in foil? Sigh. Nothing is fun anymore.

Gus going through the tenth egg just KNOWING there are some Skittles in there somewhere.
