1st Sleep-Over

The boys decided to have a "sleep over" at nap time today.  There was a lot of horsing around but eventually they did actually fall asleep.

Spring School Picture

Jack "The Mall Dancer"

While trying to grab some dinner at the mall food court a few weekends ago, Jack insisted on getting up from the table and "dancing" to whatever awful Katy Perry garbage was playing.  One of the rare moments he wasn't "feeling shy".  ENJOY!

Drew's "RAR"

Jack's dancing got Drew going and he started in with his usual "RAR" with a bonus of saying his name and "cheese".

Visit with Uncle Kenny

Uncle Kenny stopped by for a couple days on his cross country journey.  The boys loved having him here and watching "The Hobbit" with him.  As you can see they were totally into it, popcorn and everything, which I could not believe.
After a belly full of chocolate chip pancakes (mommy's specialty) they decided to nap in the dog bed and bask in the sunlight...much like the dogs do. Drew is also big on showing off his new "cheese" smile when he can manage to get his finger out of his mouth!
  
Just before he left for the next leg of his trip we tried to get a picture, but Jack was pulling his usual I can't sit still antics, which is why this is so blurry.

Half & Half

This is what the sky looked like early last week on our way home.  Literally half of the sky was dark and covered in clouds & the other half totally blue and clear, separated only by the setting sun beaming through.  I've never seen anything like it, therefore, I risked the lives of myself and my children to snap a picture while driving.  Obviously there was zero traffic, so calm down.

Happy Easter!

As you can see from the Valentine's post, the boys really like these Spiderman shirts!  Jack likes when they match but I promise this is their only matching shirt!  So the trip to the bunny was interesting this year.  Drew was totally into it until it was time to sit with the bunny, then it was NO, NO, NOOOOOOO!  As soon as I picked him up, the tears stopped, he was saying "bye-bye bunny" and hi-fiving him!  Jack on the other hand couldn't have been happier and made sure to tell the bunny how good he was so the bunny would stop at our house.
 We got all ready to color eggs and Drew just wanted to watch and eat his pretzels.
Jack on the other hand was all ready to ham it up.
Creativity brewing...
Drew finished his pretzels and then invented an egg toss game with his plastic eggs.  Jack was hard at work making his Star Wars eggs.
Drew got a head start on finding all of the eggs.
And then they teamed up.
Jack actually picked these out, he looks like Ralphy in A Christmas Story when he has to try on that bunny suit!
Jack found his basket pretty easily so next year the bunny will have to make it a little harder.
Scoping out the goodies.
The boys made out with a basket & some great gifts send from Aunties Donna & Hope and "big Gabe" as Jack refers to his cousin.
This gift from daddy, a documentary on dinosaurs started Drew's love affair with "RAR".  Drew constantly has one of these DVD's in his hands asking to watch "RAR".  If not the DVD, it's a plastic dinosaur playing "RAR".  If you ask Drew how a dinosaur goes, guess what he'll say?!
 RAR!!!

Valentines Day

Some pictures from the Valentine's Day party at school.  We frosted cookies (Drew just frosted his tongue), did a bean bag toss and danced in bubbles.

Fun @ School

Drew enjoyed some green milk for St Patty's Day!
Apparently he and the girls also had some laughs while taking care of their baby.
Jack & his pre-school friends learned how to bake a cake for Valentine's Day.
And frost it!
Love was also in the air for Drew and his friend Lux..she is pretty sweet on him.
Dwoo-be-doo!  As all of his friends call him.
Seeing how many blueberries he can stuff in his face.
The mad painter.
COOKIES!!!
