spring break begins

Did we even have winter? Here in good ol' FL one season just blurs into the next. I heard a radio dj experiencing euphoria over the new "spring" green popping up all over FL...what? As opposed to the 110 other shades of green that have been present for the last...oh, I don't know all year! I apologize! We are beginning to get hints of the summer to come and as many of you know, humidity and intense heat are not my friends. But I digress.

We've had a fun start to Spring Break. We're planning on laying low and staying out of all of the vacation destination spots. J and B decided they should hook up the old bike trailer to J's bike so he could pull B. Two determined little boys.

It took only two trips up and down the driveway to wear poor J out. B is no small 3 year old...he holds his own in the weight department. I'm thinking about hiring J out to run rickshaws during BikeWeek festivities next year?

It did rain this afternoon, however, not enough to leave sufficient puddles for endless hours of enjoyment. We therefore, had to pull out the sprinkler for entertainment between rainbursts.

And a few fun faces:

We'll be back with more from our adventures over Spring Break!

robots

The latest and greatest attraction for the boys are robots....not any certain type of robots...more or less anything they construct from whatever "stuff" they can find out of mommy and daddy's "stash" and are allowed to drag off.

Here are the drawings...

J's

B's

He is risen...He is risen indeed!

Happy Easter to all! It's been a busy weekend...so here are some photo highlights:

-the boys riding friend's toy 4wheeler...

- bounty after the hunt...

- J performs...

- ending the day with a walk to get the wiggles out

Well, the mommy has more pictures...but she is very tired and needs to get her beauty rest...seeing that she is over the age of 40 and has two young children....sweet dreams!

busy days

It's been abusy couple of days...I haven't had much time to post...we've been having a great time with celebrations leading up to Easter. I'll have to post pictures tomorrow night...let's just say that today there was plenty of candy, cake, games, puppets and all round fun...the boys are snug as a bug in a rug...fast asleep.

Quick reflection on comments from the boys today:

B on seeing mommy dressed in her "woman at the tomb" costume," Mommy you're Jesus!"

Conversation with J on growing up and becoming a daddy (becoming a daddy is when a person grows up..I don't think it has anything to do with actually having children...I'm still trying to figure this one out):

J, "Mommy, I'm going to miss you when I become a daddy."

Mommy, "I will miss you too, but we will see each other and we will always love each other." (I proceeded to give him several examples of children growing up and still being in relationship with their parents, i.e. daddy and grandma, mommy and Mama J and Papa J)

J, "I think I don't want to be a daddy...I think I only want to be six!"

You're right buddy....let's just take it one step at a time! xoxoxoxoxox Mommy
