LIttle helpers

This past weekend we did some spring cleaning. I promised the kids that we would wash my car. They loved it and thought they were so big. Of course they just kept washing the same spot but hey at least they helped a little. It was the perfect temperature to be outside.

This is the result of me letting a 3 yr old and 2 yr old handle a hose.

Happy Belated Easter

So i feel like a bad mom. I really didn't take a whole lot of pictures. I think it's because Nicholas woke us up at %:30 because he was so excited that the Easter Bunny came. We made him come back into bed and wait until 6:30. We had to get up the other 2 and when we walked out Nicholas was disappointed that there weren't a lot of presents. He was thinking the Easter Bunny was just like Santa Claus. We explained to him that the Easter Bunny brought him one small toy and then hid the eggs. After he saw his Transformer we was happy. Since i was so tired from him waking me up at 5:30 I didn't have my camera ready and when i did i didn't get any good shots. So i thought i would just post pictures of the kids pretending like they are Easter Bunnies. It's close enough right? I hope you all had a fun Easter. Oh one more thing! When we got home from church i asked Nicholas if he knew why we celebrated Easter. He went on to tell me that bad people hurt Jesus and he died, then he came back to life and has marks on his hands. It was so cute and kind of emotional to hear my little 3 year old tell me this story. I hope you all had a fun Easter!!

Why?

Why is it that every kid loves spaghetti? Don't get me wrong i like it to but at least i can keep it all in my mouth and not have to take a shower after eating it. See i have this love/hate relationship with spaghetti. I love it because it is one of the couple meals that my kids will devour in minutes. I also hate it because i have to strip them down before we eat. If i don't then their clothes get all stained. Also i have to immediately take them to the shower so they don't put red hand prints all over my walls. Luckily Nicholas is old enough that i don't have these problems, Sammy is getting there and well Parker is a complete mess. Some of you might be wondering why i am dedicating a whole post about spaghetti. I'll show you why:


This was 2ND time eating spaghetti and he absolutely loves it. You should have seen him shoving it in his face. He was acting like i hadn't fed him all day. I have a feeling he will be sneezing out little pieces of ground beef in the next couple days.

A day with the Grandparents

Last week Luke's parents came from Alpine to see the kids. We told Nicholas they were coming a couple weeks ago. For about 3 weeks he would ask when they are coming. We kept telling him "5 more sleeps, 4 more sleeps, etc..." When the day finally came he was so excited. The kids had so much fun with them. The first day they were here we went to Chuck E Cheese. Then the 2nd day we went to Sunset Park and fed the ducks. There were so many ducks and the kids had so fun showing off for grandma and grandpa. Sammy got so into feeding the ducks that she scared me. Everytime she threw the bread her body looked like it was going to fall into the nasty nasty water. I told Luke if she falls you are going after her. The whole time we were there Nicholas kept saying "did you step on a duck". Which means did you fart. Thanks daddy for teaching him that. Parker was sleeping through this whole duck feeding thing so i decided to throw some pictures of my little guy in there.
