Just for Fun

Last week I rented Season 1 of the Muppets. I want my kids to love and appreciate the Muppets just as much as I do, and after about a day....Seth was singing "Manamana!" in the car...... ahhh music to my ears.

So I colored my hair this weekend.

The name of the color was Dark Blonde....... Here's what I got.

Can you tell? Neither can I. At least it's shiney now.

Brotherly Love

John LOVES his big brother. He tries to do everything Seth does, even when Seth gets in trouble, he stands right next to him in the corner. I snuck this picture last week. I hope that this is a picture of what is to come. I hope that they will always stand by each other, even when one is in trouble.

Another Milestone

We were very proud of our son this week as he accomplished another milestone. SO proud in fact that he was such a big boy that we decided it was time to get him a big boy bike. Seth was up and ready to go at 730am he was so excited, and was disappointed the store didn't open till 10am. So, off we went to the store where he picked out the Transformers Optimus Prime bike.

We planned to go to the park in the afternoon so he could ride around the bike path, but after naptime it was pouring rain, so we'll try again tomorrow after church though the forecast doesn't look too good. Anyhow, here he is proudly showing it off.

I Love this Picture

I think he looks like Violet in the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. "Oh No! He's turnign into a blueberry!" :-)

Easter Celebrations

Easter this year was a fun day. This was the first year that Seth was really excited about it. He finally understands Easter is and that it is a day to look forward to, to celebrate.

For a few days before Easter he would ask "Mom, where's the Easter bunny?" and I'd say, "He lives under the ground, but soon he'll come visit us." He seemed happy with that response, but when he started to act up, and I'd say..... "Remember! The Easter bunny's watching!" He'd just look around the room, go to the door, or look out the window and say.... "Where?". You'd think that kids with their incredible imaginations would not ask such literal questions!

So on the morning of Easter I think he'd kinda lost the excitement because he couldn't see the bunny anywhere. He woke up at the usual time and crawled in bed with me. It wasn't until like...10 minutes later when I said...."Hey Seth I think I heard the Easter bunny come to our house last night." That it dawned on him that Sunday was the day. Here are a few pictures.

After Easter baskets and breakfast we went off to church to celebrate the REAL reason for the great day. It was SO crowded, we had 12 kids in the toddler room alone. (INSANITY?!) But after church there was a celebration dinner, and lots of stuff to do.... bouncy houses, face painting....even someone giving out 5 minute neck massages! Later in the day I took the kids to the park to burn off some of the sugar, and we hung out at the house.
