Easter Driving

I think the boys’ favorite part about Easter weekend was that it was finally warm enough to get out Papa & Mabel’s fleet of vehicles. A couple of weeks ago, while throwing pennies in a fountain, Adam wished that they would get another green “behicle”. He was so surprised to see the latest addition parked in their driveway (thanks to Uncle Pete & Aunt Jane).

IMG_2829The Easter Bunny even used one to help hide Adam’s basket in the garage.

He did take a couple of breaks to chauffeur his brother around.

IMG_2903Maggie only sat in the vehicles for pictures, but I’m sure it won’t be long before she’s driving herself around the yard (or into the neighbor’s garage).

Easter Photos

My sister and I took the kids to get Easter photos taken earlier this month. It didn’t go quite as I had hoped. Luke was more interested in pulling all of the wooden photo prop letters off of the shelf and saying what they were (the good news is he has the alphabet down pat).

05That was the only picture we got with all three kids in it. Not exactly the sweet family photo I had in mind. We ended up getting a decent enough shot of each of them individually though. Luke insisted on holding that heart up to his face.

00At least Adam and Maggie were (mostly) cooperative. Maggie is going through an anti-stranger phase and wasn’t really in to photos either.

02 03They sure did look cute though.

Candyland

We had a pretty intense game of Candyland last night. Dave and Luke were a team and Maggie and I were a team. Well, we were supposed to be a team, but she spent the whole game gnawing on the extra game piece.

Adam has already demanded a rematch.

Playground Fun

Today was another beautiful day. It was in the mid-70s, so we spent the morning at the playground.

We went out again after rest time to take advantage of the weather.

We needed to enjoy it while it lasted, it’s supposed to snow (again) tomorrow.

Sunny Sunday

We spent some time outside today enjoying the beautiful weather.

Dave got the kids’ bikes out of the shed and Adam got to work washing the winter grime off of them.

It was a big job and he only “accidentally” sprayed Luke with the hose once (okay, twice).

Funny Bunny

We took the kids to a local toy shop this afternoon to see the Easter Bunny.

Just for fun, here are Luke and Adam the first time they met the Easter Bunny.
