Slide time

Finally my mom bought me a good bubble machine!

My kitchen now has 2 pairs of eyes staring at me while I cook.

Happy Birthday Grandma! We will celebrate by acting like animals in the restaurant. I think their gift really is to be good 364 days a year with Grandma's birthday being the exception.

Good old Ohio weather, last week 50s and rain, this week mid 80s. Grady pretty much used a bucket to dump all of the water onto himself.

Photo Friday

Ok, I am a day late.... I take a lot of pictures with my cell phone because I do not want to lug around the big camera. I read another blog that shares these weekly and decided to steal the idea.

Daddy striking a pose!

When we are having a snack before bed time I tell the kiddos to sit in their chairs and watch tv. It lasts about 5 minutes.

Gwen cannot get enough of the swing!

Your supposed to go up the slide, right?

Easter

Some would say Gwen and Grady were a little spoiled this Easter. They got to attend four Easter Egg hunts, including one at home. By the last one they started to get the picture. The first one went so fast, we were just glad they bent over and picked up an egg. Daddy decided to practice with them after that, but forgot to put something in the eggs. When we got to the second hunt in our neighborhood, Grady was ready. He knew exactly what to do. He ran for the first egg, picked it up then stood there looking at it and shaking it trying to figure out what was inside. Meanwhile his sister picked up ten eggs rather quickly, then dumped her basket of eggs back on the ground. By egg hunt three Grady really knew what he was doing and Gwen did her typical fill and dump routine more than once. They ended up getting six baskets a piece this year. Enough chocolate to ruin Mommy's weight loss.

An attempt at a group shot.

Attempt gone bad....

Say cheese!

Everyone needs some milk after all that chocolate.

Gwen walked around with her chocolate in her mouth a while, she was tired of holding it.

Grady was very happy Easter Sunday.

Grady the Gentleman

If you remember, Grady's last obsession was leaves. If you have them, he wanted to pick them all up. Well this spring he has made a change to "flowers". We cannot walk around the block without him pointing at every dandelion growing (especially at the corner house). He would try to hold one hindered of them if I would pick that many. He will give them to mommy, Grandma or Gwen. He is quite the gentleman.

Naked Babies

When it is an hour before bedtime and nothing makes the kids happy what do you do? Well we take their clothes off and duct tape their diapers on. Yep, you can call me a hillbilly, but try it, it works!

Clean Up!

When we tell Grady to clean up he piles everything in the room that he can move in one place. That includes pillows, blankets, socks, cups, whatever he can physically pick up. This day he decided to put everything on daddy.

Toph's Birthday

All three in the same frame! That is an accomplishment.Feed me chocolate

Grady was flirting with Toph's girlfriend the entire time. He is just checking with Toph to see if she is still taken.
