Egg Glasses

This morning brought the arrival of my latest Parents magazine(that I get FREE!) and as I was browsing it I found a cute craft. You take two slots of an egg carton and paint them up. Let them dry, cut holes in the bottoms and add some pipe cleaners to complete the frames. It seemed like an easy craft and the kids always enjoy painting, so we got out an egg carton I'd been saving for such as this and went to town. We're all feeling the end of winter crazies, so it was fun to have a little something to do. Here are pictures of the process and the results:




Tate was wearing mine b/c I'm pretty sure it'll take his a couple years to dry. He really slathered the paint on his. :)

Happy Birthday to Callie!

Callie celebrated her 2nd birthday by going back to Breezy for a pool party. We made cupcakes:
The boys got whiskers at story time that morning:
Callie did a great job blowing out the candles. Much more involved this year!

Breezy 2010

We went back to Breezy Resort for two weekends with our friends. A great time was had by all!! Lots of swimming, food, games and fun. Brent and I enjoyed playing Mario Party 8 on the Wii with our friends after the kids went to bed. Devotions before bed:


Getting ready for movie night: (I spent movie night taking potty training Callie back and forth to the bathroom what felt like hundreds of times)

Eat Your Heart Out

The kids made a restaurant the other day. I turned on some classical background music, they brought out every chair they could fine and I dined on corn on the cob, fried chicken, lots of fruit and lemonade.

The Children's Museum

Well, even though its already been a month since we've been, I am finally posting pictures of our time at the children's museum, lego land and the underwater aquarium. We had a blast!!!
Lego Land. It appropriately had dinosaurs:





Underwater Aquarium:
Tate was apparently afraid of whatever was in this tank:

Tate forgot to roll up his sleeves when he touched the crab:

Museum: Dinosaur Land

Hunter the Salesman

Hunter should definately be a salesman when he is older! I usually have Diego or Max and Ruby on the DVR for the kids to watch and I think he's been hearing about new products during commercials. Awhile back he came up to me and said, "Mom, you should get some Colgate total, it fights germs every day." Yesterday at lunch he randomly prayed, "Thanks God that mom can fight germs every day with Colgate Total." He also told me last week that Oxy Clean gets out deep stains. I had printed off a coupon for it from the computer(b/c I already use it and recommend it!) yesterday and Hunter came up, took a look at it and said, "Oh, this is for Oxy Clean. It gets out deep stains!" At least he's not coming up to me wanting the toys he sees on those commercials, right?!?
