Lunch with Carrie

My high school friend, Carrie, and I met up for lunch on Monday. We were totally out numbered by two year olds. She has twins, Mark and Ella, who are the same age as Theo. We decided that we will be getting a babysitter next time we'd like to have lunch (when I'm in town) and won't be bringing the kids. But here the little darlings are after lunch, looking cute for the camera :)

This and that

Gigi and Dada came for a visit on Sunday. Dada got roped into playing legos with the boys. They both sure do love building things, which is great! Jack has recently really gotten into coloring. Here is a picture that he colored in this afternoon. I'm super impressed only because he never cared for crayons or markers much until the past 3-4 months. I totally credit his teachers this year and the art station in his classroom for his new talent. Lastly, Theo's little pal Mira came over this afternoon and all three kids took turns driving. It was musical chairs, or drivers, that is. So fun! We're making the most of this awesome spring weather :)

Easter party

We took the boys to our subdivision Easter party this morning. They had fun crafts for the kids to do before the big egg hunt that Jack and Theo both enjoyed. Jack went right up the the bunny and sat with him. Theo however wanted no part of him and screamed when we even walked near by! Don't blame him though...... Both kids hunted eggs separately since things are broken up by age. They had tons of fun and are happily eating candy right now.

Prayers for Thomas

Dave's cousin, Thomas, was riding his motorcycle yesterday and was hit by a car that ran a stop sign (going about 40 mph). Thomas was catapulted about 45 ft and knocked out of his boots and helmet. From what we heard last night, Thomas sustained a fractured skull in 3 places, a broken neck, broken collarbone and broken foot. He's sedated and intubated on the ventilator right now in Baton Rouge. Please pray for him. Here is a picture of Thomas, his girlfriend and son from Christmas.

Theo's egg hunt

Theo's class celebrated Easter today and had an egg hunt. The teachers were smart and suggested we bring in an egg carton to fill with eggs vs. a basket. That way when the kids all found 12, the hunt was over! Theo was a man on a mission and scooped up eggs quickly. I did my best to snap pictures but it was over in a flash!

Jack and Theo have different spring breaks this year! Theo is off all next week and Jack has school. Then starting Good Friday and the following week, Jack has off school and Theo has school again. Whoever planned out the schedules this year sure did screw a bunch of parents. Oh well.

Mr. Engineer

Jack has such the engineer's mind. He wants to know how everything works and how things are made. Lego's are a perfect way for him to create different things. He loves to look at the idea guide and replicate the suggested projects. So, here is the fish that he made, following the guide.
