Bunny, Worms and bumps

The Easter Bunny must know how much "the Boys" (aka, Connor, Gavin, and Iain) LOVE playing with trucks, cars and dirt... because he left a basket with some "outdoor" cars for them!He is one smart bunny! He must have seen that most of the ones they had were pretty banged up do to the elements, being buried and oh yea if they were lucky to survive the lawn mover! They weren't in the best shape.

Then when they took a break from the cars... and decided the basket was a great mask... and chased each other all over the yard!

Then Gavin and Iain found these.... uck! WORMS!!!!

They tried to put them in the Sara's garden but um... without a head dont think it mattered! Again... yuk!

Soon after, Gavin wiped out when the boys started chasing the basket that was been blown away by the wind. I thought when he fell that he hit his mouth and was expecting blood but nothing... thank God! Then when Peter picked him up I could see from across the lawn a HUGE "Grapfruit" protruding off his forhead! So Peter whisked him off to the doctor. Didn't get a good picture though... sorry!

He is okay. They said if you're going to hit your head... the forehead is the best spot to do it. He also really hurt his thumb and if it continued to get swollen they would xray it. Plus... soon after the meds kicked in they were dancing around to the Toddler Tunes. BOYS!!!!!

That afternoon we did try and venture outside again until he tripped... AGAIN! That's it... I'm DONE... Inside the house for the rest of the day! So we got out the paints... which didn't last too long. So Peter brought up the Geo Tracks and set up a big train track for them which did last a while but they had more fun with this...

Do boxes ever get old??? They had a blast in it cracking themselves up!

Wow alot of adventure for one day... happy Wednesday!

Homeward bound

You would think we were spending weeks the way I pack! Mom always says I bring to much stuff with me but I just want to be prepared ya know. This trip back home we were taking even more stuff with us . Since Connor has graduated into a big big boy bed my Aunt Carol let us have my Cousin's headboard he no longer needs and two mattresses! Thank you Thank you Aunt Carol!

So we ventured over to her house to load up the minivan and were able to see Andrew! The boys were thrilled and Connor was able to tell him that his Dad showed him how to play Mario cart (Connor saw the pictures of Andrew showing Gavin and had a meltdown resulting in his begging Peter to show him).





This is Gavin "YELLING" GOOD BYE MURPHY! Poor Murphy... she was like "leave already kid!"



The boys begged Peter to take them to the lake so they could look... and throw some rocks in the water.



That's when they realized... Hey... Aunt Carol has a pool too... hmm... Pool Party!

It was soon after that we were on our way home... bound for Rhody! Peter always gets home before me and this is what I pulled up to...



The meltown soon turned to smiling faces when they saw they had packages



Cookies sent from Aunt Steph!



So while the boys ate cookies, I unpacked and Peter put up our new "home"

SURPRISE...We are moving to a tenting community



NOT! The boys want to go camping. So, this summer our backyard will become "The Open Wilderness" for an evening. Peter was able to get a tent from a friend from work.




So we are safely home!

Thanks mom for a fun visit and a wonderful Easter!

Thanks Uncle Brian for letting the boys play with your phone -they keep trying to take ours and we suck because we say NO! lol

Thanks Aunt Carol for the boys gifts and for the furniture... so much appreciated!

Love to all

Oh go fly a kite...

We bought the boys kites for Easter and they really wanted to go try them out. So Monday mom and I took them over to this field to give it a try. The boys had a blast! What a nice day... they get to fly a kite and run up and down a really big hill! What could be better?!?!













Even Nani gave it a try.


After we were done with running up the hill and flying their kites we walked them to the creek right nex to the field. We showed them where my mom and I used to take Broghie to run in the water.





They "LOVE" throwing rocks in water just as much as playing in dirt!



Then it was time to go home for lunch with many promises to come back. When we got home I made Gavin eat because he kept saying his belly hurt. I thought it was because he didnt really eat anything today... I learned the hard way I was wrong! He had a stomach bug! The poor thing was sick.

He didn't get sick there... not to worry. My poor baby was was too weak to walk!


So our whole family outing to the resturant turned into a "Date" night for Connor and Nani to the Mountain House for some NY pizza!



It was a fun day out for all of us even though the end was not so good for Gavin... next time buddy!

He did start to feel alot better after his little nap on Daddy and was running around by bedtime!

Easter Part Two...

The boys hanging with Lauren, Carol and Mike waiting for the Easter Egg hunt to begin...

Let the hunt begin...

Broghies wanted to be with the boys- Hey wait for me guys...

Now that Broghies here to help...we can take a break!

hey Brogs lets go see what we got!

Checking out the goods...

ooh Candy

oooh a car (Connor was more interested in the money and toys than the candy)

Showing Lauren the trucks the Easter bunny left them

One crashed during dinner....

The boys hanging out with broghie under the table. I can remember hanging out under my nani and pops table I used to have so much fun.

Before Dessert Course outside for a breather and BUBBLES....

I dont remember bubbles being this fun...bliss


Uncle Brian is so much fun...


Aunt Carol bought the boys Coloring books and crayons so after most people left the boys talked Aunt Kerri and Uncle Brian into coloring with them

Brian was told or demanded that he had to color on the floor

So while the "girls" chatted away over wine and candy the boys hung out on the couch...

Uncle brian let Connor use his new Blackberry... so Kerri had really no choice but to let Gavin play with hers! He is "crazy" just like Connor says! lol They rock in the fun department!

So I hope you had a wonderful Easter as you can see we did!

oh...Just a warning kids this is what a little "wine" and whole lotta sugar can do to ya....

Good times!!!
