Dying Eggs

The kids have been so excited all week to dye Easter Eggs. We decided to do it Friday night before Easter. Ellie of course wanted to dye all her eggs pink, while Owen didn't care what color he was using as long as he could throw the eggs into the different cups and watch the dye splash all over! He broke a few to say the least.

I'm really enjoying doing more and more fun things as the kids get older! I hope they want to hang out and play with us forever...although I know this may not be reality!

Spring Break 2012

Jeremy and I had planned a trip to Chicago for my Spring Break this year. It was almost ruined when I came down with the flu...but I was able to recover and fortunately had a great time in Chicago. We attended a Second City performance Saturday night which was SO FUNNY!!!! We had plenty of great food, drinks and a lot of fun. Sunday I woke up and ran in the Shamrock Shuffle, which is an 8K (5miles). It was a lot of fun, but a bit overwhelming to run in a race with sooo many people.

We came home Sunday afternoon to a sick Owen :(. I had the entire week off, so that was a plus with a sick kid at home, but it was also not the most relaxing week off :). Even though Owen was sick we still got to do plenty of things around the house. We go outside on our bikes, played with bubbles and chalk, pretended to drive daddy's new truck, had tea parties galore, colored, painted and made our first batch of homemade playdoh...I cannot wait to hang out all summer!

First time back on the bikes this year!

Future Hoarder???

This is pretty typical for Owen...he has to sleep with as many toys as he can cram into his bed. We at times worry that we have a little hoarder on our hands??? :)

Helping Daddy

Mommy went to the store and got some new shelves for the kitchen. So...that leaves dad and I to put them together and put them up :) I had sooo much fun helping my daddy, he even let me help work the drill! Hope mommy appreciates all are hard work!
