Crafting

I think the last time we pulled out the paint, the boys were sick, and here they are, sick again and painting!!!  Moe did not the paint on his hands - he is just like his brother and Mama!!!  I also pulled out the dots and let them free.  Charlie made an airport - although he had to tell us what he was making as it wasn't quite recognizable.  I think someone is excited to fly on an airplane soon!!!!!

Little buggy

This little vehicle was a hand me down from some wonderful neighbors, and our kids are still having fun with it - mostly pushing one another down the small incline in our back yard :).  Back and forth, back and forth they went - and if I remember correctly, Moe was getting most of the pushes from Charlie - bless his kind little heart!!!! :)

I'm always amazed with what these two kids can creatively come up with to do in the house and backyard.  Charlie has a great imagination and can turn anything into a toy - or a toy into a different toy.  Today I gave them to squirt bottles and they went at it for a while before they turned on each other and that's when the whining and crying started :).  It was fun while it lasted. 

Boys will be boys.....

Fun in the backyard

We've been out in the backyard quite a bit these past few days.....enjoying new found toys after the winter, rediscovering the fun of blowing bubbles, and even eating a few lunches on the patio enjoying the heat of the sun.

I decided I better get my camera out today and snap away!!!!  The boys were in a posing mood so I was telling them just to play and have fun!  It is always great when they are getting along, laughing, and playing nicely together.  I treasure the moments :)

A few Easter family pics

I love my crazy, loud, fun, loving family! 

Easter 2015

This Easter had us again at my parents house enjoying family time and good food :).  This was the first year Doug and I really started to explain Easter to the kids, especially Charlie, and I was often surprised with the types of questions that would follow.  He is definitely is very curious about life and death, and what happens afterward, and he is starting to question more about Jesus, who loves Him, and who is going to Heaven.  Tough questions - good for me and good for him!!!  And as much as I think Doug would be the better to answer his tough questions, I have stopped telling him to ask his Daddy!!! :)

The kids loved Easter Sunday at church and of course, were looking forward to the Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's.  They each got one gift - Charlie got a nerf gun as the two he has bought at the dollar store have broke immediately after buying and he was so sad that I felt bad!  And Moe got an alarm clock.  His face says it all!!!  However, he was excited to have it and has loved it!  He came out of his room after setting it up and said, "me sleep, green owl, come out!!!".  That's right buddy - no coming out of your bed until the owl turns green!  I'm hoping this sleep aid comes in handy as I thought it wasn't worthwhile with Charlie......HA!
