Lately

We've been keeping busy around here!  Here are the events of the past couple of weeks (not including Easter weekend - that will have to wait for the next post!)

The boys and I went to "Snow and Story" at the ice rink a couple of weeks back, Alex LOVED it!  It was really cute - they put all of the "snow" in one corner and then there were tons of toys for the kids to play with.  Alex was busy, busy, busy piling, dumping, digging, moving, etc.  Nathan wouldn't wear his mittens and his hands were like ice!  He was happy until he realized how frozen his fingers were!  After playing, the kids got to warm up with cocoa, cookies, and a story!  Such a cute idea :)

I can't describe how much these boys like superheros!  Here they are shooting "spidey-webs!"  Bad guys, BEWARE! 

Alex and Nathan both got sick AGAIN... as soon as Alex finished his strep meds he came down with his third fever in the past 5 weeks... ridiculous!  He spent a few days at the end of March sick again :(  Poor kids can't catch a break!

We went to an egg hunt wtih some friends from my mops group!  It was their first hunt of the season and they loved it! 

 Here is a picture of Nathan once he caught the virus :(  poor little buddy! 

 Oma and Opa came for a long weekend visit the weekend before Easter! 

 They brought the kids legos!!! Who do you think enjoyed them more, the kids or Gary and his dad?  ;)

The kids enjoyed playing outside with new bubbles from oma, we've gotten a lot of use out of these "bubble swords" already! 

We took a trip downtown to visit the Spy Museum!  We'd been wanting to go for a while, but weren't sure how it'd be with kids.  Definitely wasn't geared toward little ones, but there was still a lot for them to look at and explroe, and all of the adults enjoyed it! 

They spoiled us with kinects for our XBox!  Alex particularily LOVES it and Gary and I have enjoyed it too!  It is definitely a work out if you do it for a while, especially the dancing and zumba! 

We went to our church's big Easter hunt!  It was the second hunt for the boys - Nathan picked up about 3 eggs and was ready to bust them open and eat the treats... Alex's strategy was a bit different, he got AS MANY as he possibly could to fill his basket first :) 

The kids enjoyed the bounce house, popcorn, and visiting the fire truck at the festival!  So fun!

We've enjoyed a lot of time outside with the nice weather lately, too!  It's mostly been in the upper 60s and low 70s the past couple of weeks! 

 The cherry blossoms are just beautiful!
