Fun, Fun, Fun!

We've been enjoying some beautiful weather as well as finding things to do inside when it rains.  Three and a half year olds are super creative and never fail to put a smile on my face with all of the silly things they think of!  Who knew a rubbermaid container could provide hours of fun?  And who knew that just when the sand table got old, if you added some baking utensils it would once again be a big hit?  Oh and who knew that my sweet little girl would want to connect a stroller and shopping cart so she could accommodate all of her babies and kids!

On the Move

 My little dude has been moving and exploring everything!  At 7 months he was up on all fours and rocking along with rolling to get where he wanted.  He was also perfecting his sitting and enjoying getting into all of Gwen and Cole's big kid toys.

DaVinci Science Center Egg Drop

The Monday after Easter Daddy took off of work and we spent a family day at the DaVinci Science Center.

Stomp Rockets are a Hit!

Later in the day, Cole got to try out his new stomp rockets. He spent several hours outside with Daddy playing with them. Daddy even moved a cinder block out in the yard so Cole could stand on it and jump on the stomp rocket gadget sending the rockets high up into the air.

Easter Morning 2012

The kids ran down the stairs on Easter Morning to see what the Easter Bunny had left for them. Cole was impressed with the huge bag of Pirate Booty and Gwen was thrilled to see a pack of new underwear. Reid explored his basket and decided that easter grass was just as delicious at the yummy mum mums that he got in it!

Easter Egg Hunt

Cole and Gwen were VERY into the egg hunt this year. Melanie had hidden 24 eggs total and both kids ran around the backyard searching for them. They squealed with excitement each time they found an egg and were thrilled to check out the prizes that they go at the end. We only managed to find 23 eggs that day but word has it that Mike discovered the missing egg the next day while doing yard work!

Easter at Melanie's Home

The Saturday before Easter we went to Mel's house to celebrate. Beforehand Gwen and Cole were very interested in who was going to be attending the event. They even made little chick and bunny place cards for everyone. It was the first time that Aunt Linda Whitmeyer met little Reid and let's just say that i'm a little surprised that she didn't put up more of a fight to take him home to VA ;) We had a fun afternoon/evening and a delicious meal. More pics of the easter egg hung to come...
