Backyard Picnic

 

 

Every Wednesday we go to our local library for storytime. This last week they read a book about a picnic. At dinner Gabe decided that he wanted to have a picnic too so we set up the blanket in the backyard. The kids looked so cute together enjoying their dinner.

Dyeing Eggs

 

 

 

 

We dyed eggs on Saturday afternoon. The kids had so much fun that we ended up boiling more for them to dye.

Easter Egg Hunt 2011 Part 1

 

 

 

 

Every year we go downtown to the Elks for an Easter egg hunt. This year was so fun with both kids old enough the understand what to do. Lydia was a Champion Egg Grabber. This was no surprise to me because she is our little pack rat. She is always carrying around a backpack or bag filled with little toys and trinkets. She snatched up those eggs as fast as she could. It was very different from Gabe's first year where he picked up an egg and wanted the candy right away. Gabe knew what he was doing this year too and made out like a bandit. All of the parents like it because it is over in about 2 minutes or less. Thanks again for inviting us Chelsea!

Birds of Prey Center

 

 

 

 

A couple of weeks ago Gabe's preschool teacher was sick and had to cancel school for the day. I thought that it would be a good opportunity to take the kids and check out the Birds of Prey Center. I had never been before. The kids loved it and had a lot of fun. They really enjoyed the show that we went to. They brought out a Krestral that flew over our heads. Gabe kept asking if he could hold it. It wasn't quite as little kid friendly as I thought that it would be but We still had a lot of fun. I think that we will enjoy it more when our kiddos get a little bit older. We loved seeing the California Condors and there were lot of little ground squirrels that the kids liked to watch.

Zoo 2011

 

 

 

 

I took the kids to the Zoo over spring break. It was the busiest that I have ever seen the Zoo but the kids had a lot of fun. We fed the giraffes again and they loved that. It was the nicest day of the year so far. I am sure that it wont be our last trip this year.

My latest big project

So this is my latest big project times 2. I bought these two chairs off of craigslist awhile back and decided I was going to reupholster them. It is taking longer than I thought it would to get them finished but they are coming along nicely. I will post after pictures when I finish. They are going to be AMAZING!
p.s. this is my first time reupholstering and it is really a lot of fun. I just wish that I had a whole day to sit and finish them up without interruptions.:)
