Park Days

 A couple weeks ago we had some nice weather and got to go to the park. The first day at the park is always SO fun! You would have thought I told the kids we were going to Disney World, they were so happy. :) We met Jayna at the bus stop with the bikes. As soon as she got off the bus she yelled "You brought my bike, thanks Mama!!" and started jumping up and down.

Keira's first time on the swing!

Kepler would still rather go on the baby swings than the big ones. I think that Kepler was meant to be the baby of the family, he still has a hard time giving up that role to Keira sometimes. We compromised by letting him push her on the baby swing.
(That adoring expression on Keira's face shows perfectly how she feels about her big brother)

Last summer we practically lived at the park, we had no schedule and it was great!
But this little munchkin needed to get home for a nap, I think her days of sleeping anywhere with no schedule are over. But it lasted a good 7 months, so I guess we can let her have some normalcy in her life now. 
 This week is supposed to be warm and sunny all week again, and as of right now, I plan on doing this again every day!

Happy Easter!

Friday we didn't really have much planned so we did a little bunny craft. 

And then the kids wanted a bunny lunch too.

On Saturday morning we had our Egg Hunt!

There were 74 eggs hidden! 

Keira already doesn't like to be left out. :)

My cute little bunny's first Easter!
 
We used the whisk method for dyeing our eggs this year, so much better and easier.




And we made a couple dinosaur eggs too.

We got a bit of nice weather on Saturday, Jayna and Kepler started out playing and then ended up hanging out and chatting on the bench for a while.

Easter Sunday after church we had some friends over for dinner.

Frosty the Chick and Yellow, Jayna and Kepler usually end up playing with  their crafts that we make. They played with these chicks for at least an hour!

Making bird's nests with some friends.

I always feel like a "real" mom and grown up during holidays. And like true grown ups, Gibb and I were tired at the end of it all. :)
