Spring Break Day 5

Today was a big recuperate day at our house.  D stayed Wednesday night and all day Thursday with my parents and she was EXHAUSTED!  S got up too early this morning and was EXHAUSTED!  2 tired kids play a rainy Friday does not make for a day to do much!

 We started off playing with Play-doh with Grandma.  We made a variety of sea creatures and prints in circles rolled out by the kids.  This lasted all of 10 minutes before they were bored!



Next was some down time playing new games on the iPod and Kindle.  D loves the game Thinkrolls on her Kindle where she has to use logic to move items around so the little blob guy can get to the bottom.  S likes any game with Jake or trains!


When the kids tired of these games we moved on to some art.  We used plastic forks to paint tulips.  Tomorrow D wants to color in the background of her painting.




We also managed to get our yearly pictures taken today.  We usually do this around Christmas but sicknesses made that impossible!

Great Country Farm

Today to celebrate Spring Break we ventured to Great Country Farm.  We went last year at Spring Break also.  The kids had so much fun, when I asked what they wanted to do this year the first thing they said was "Great Country Farm!"  So we packed up the van with kids and grandparents and off we went. Just like last year, the kids had a blast playing on the slides and bouncy pillow.  Like last year I went down a few slides too.  Unlike last year I paid attention to the "12 and under" sign and stayed off of the bouncy pillow!  The kids also fed some goats, bounced on pigs, climbed on a bunch of wooden obstacles, and tried out the rope swing. And of course, no trip is complete without a little gem hunting! Last, but not least the kids rode the cow train.  S was till upset we didn't do this last year.  He definitely enjoyed the ride more than D!

Happy Easter

Image
I hope you and your family had a wonderful, happy Easter!  Ours sure did!!!!   We started the fun on Saturday evening by decorating Easter eggs.  We managed to spill 0 cups of egg dye and I only cracked 3 eggs while boiling them.  As you can see, egg dying is a serious and thought provoking experience in our house. The Easter Bunny left baskets on the table and hid eggs downstairs for the kids on Easter morning.  The baskets had an art book, a book to read, Mad Libs, Tsum Tsums, one small toy, and some chocolate.  We spent the afternoon with family having another egg hunt and dinner.  It was a great way to spend a warm, Easter Sunday!

Here Come the Police!

Like most little boys, S is obsessed with anything that moves, makes noise, and has buttons.  I guess that's why one of his favorite toys right now is a remote control police car he got from my parents.  He drives around, where he wants it to go.  Although he does point the control backwards most of the time so when he pushes the reverse arrow it actually goes forward.  When it drives it makes siren noises.  Plus it has buttons on the car and the remote to push.  What more could a three year old boy want from a toy?!?!?
