Easter Wrap Up

Easter weekend was pretty busy and thankfully, incredibly beautiful. There is nothing like getting the kids outside to just play.

We dyed a few eggs, had a big egg hunt, played some baseball and blew some bubbles and by the end of the weekend had three very tired kids. I'd like to tell you that this morning was an easy transition back to our routine, but I am pretty sure you know my kids better than that.

Some pics. . . 

Because, why wouldn't you do this?

Not sure how much worse we could get for a group shot. . .

Bubbles, bubbles everywhere. . .

The joy of being 3 (and almost 3!)

Some Shots from the Snowstorm

Hope everyone got shoveled out! Here are a few pics of the kids out and about in the snow this weekend.

Finally. . .

After 16 posts I get a day off from blogging to deliver a beautiful baby boy. It was a long day but well worth the wait.

I am thinking of calling him QT on this blog, first of all because those are his initials and second of all because he is a cutie.

The Ladies already love him, although the Lady, like her mother was very surprised that he was a boy. I am glad to say that her response to "What will will do if it is a boy?" which was "I won't like it" doesn't appear to be the case. And the Little Lady, well all the Little Lady wants to do is hold "her baby." We will see how this all works out once we actually get home.

Here are a few pics.

Note there are no photos of me. There were some taken, but my face is so swollen it just looks sad!

Beach Babes

The Ladies and I were very excited to have a beach weekend. Even though the temperature dropped 25 degrees from Friday to Saturday and we didn't get a chance to spend anytime outside or make it anywhere near the beach, we had some serious quality time with the cousins, in what promises to be a preview of this summer. However, come July there will be two more cousins added to this crew, so hopefully there will be a ton of sunshine so that these kids can get outside and run.

Here are some pics of the usual suspects.

Kids at Play

Here are a few shots of the Ladies playing with the Wild Ones at an indoor playspace. Try not to think about the amount of germs in the ball pit.

The Wild Woman

The Lady loves the Mermaid pose. Note the handcrafted necklace she made at Dad's Morning Out!

The Little Lady, moments before scratching the Wild Woman in the face, minutes before we decided it was time to leave!

The Wild Man at rest!
