Let's Go Fly a Kite

The boys got a kite in their Eater basket, so we took a trip to the park and "tried" to fly the kite. It has taken Tobin awhile to get used to flying a kite. He didnt' like the whole idea of letting it go into the air. The whole thing scared him.

As you can see the kite flying ended up being daddy flying the kite and the boys watching. The boys would have rather played in the drinking fountain.

Daddy had some luck getting the kite up in the air but Tobin ended up having the most success. He just ran around with the kite and the kite would catch a gust of wind every once in awhile.

Easter

We started Easter weekend by making Resurrection Rolls. Tobin dipped a marshmallow(Jesus) in cinnamon and sugar(burrial spices) and rolled it in a crescent roll(tomb). When the crescent roll was finished baking the marshmallow had melted(Jesus was no longer in the tomb)-He had risen.

We cut into the crescent roll and Tobin said "Jesus isn't there"

Grandma and Grandpa came to spend the weekend with us and we packed a lot in. The first thing we did was dye easter eggs. This was the first time my boys had dyed easter eggs. As soon as we got the color tablets out Corwin put the orange one in his mouth. You'll notice he has orange lips. He then thought it was a whole lot easier and faster to just dip his entire hand in the dye to retrieve the egg. You'll notice his hand is yellow.

Grandpa and Tobin discovered baby robins in the backyard.

The boys got Easter baskets and Tobin was very excited about the candy. He started taking the candy out and eating it as fast as he could. He acted like we were going to take it away from him if he didn't eat it. Yes, the kid NEVER gets candy. He was super excited about eating his Peeps until Papa told him he was eating a baby chick and his family was going to miss him. Tobin refused to eat any more Peeps.

We hunted Easter eggs for the first time. Tobin enjoyed it. Corwin had no idea what we were doing.

Ander enjoyed all of the Easter celebrations.

Powder Fresh

The other day I was folding laundry and Tobin came upstairs and said "Mommy, I made a big mess." OH BOY!!!!! I walked downstairs and about half way down the stairs and had a hard time breathing because the "dust" in the air. When I made it downstairs I saw the entire first floor covered in baby powder. Tobin said he was making "smoke" and we needed to call the Firemen.

Corwin helped me clean up while Tobin spent some time by himself.

Curls

I want these curls. I love these curls and daddy wants to buzz them. :(

Some good helpers

Last week we got a new screen door installed and it was pure entertainment for my boys. Tobin talked Mr. Charlie's ear off. He kept saying "Mans, excuse me Mr. Mans....." He also kept saying how "special" Mr. Charlie was. As far as I'm concerned Mr. Charlie can come once a week to install something.
