Easter Eggs

We dyed our Easter Eggs the night before Easter. Ben was so excited and was telling Summer how to do it, etc. He used the metal dipper and was so cute. Look how clean and organized everything is after one egg.

And then look at Summer's egg dyeing technique:

She is my messy marvin. Yet, if she gets a drop of water on her clothes - she has to change. Trouble!

Easter from Aunt Carol!

The kids all love Aunt Carol! And they were so excited and surprised to get an Easter package from her - THANK YOU Aunt Carol. You're the best!

Easter Bunny

I took Ben to S.Coast Plaza to see the Easter Bunny. Summer is too freaked out by the Easter Bunny and so I didn't want to ruin Ben's experience. And I totally get it....I kind of think it would be freaky sitting next to a big bunny. Anyway, Ben was happy.

Dinner Helpers

The kids like to help me cook so I let them each stir something (with threats that if they touched the pan they would be rushed straight to the doctor). They were very careful and very happy. Check out Summer's outfit! She told me it matched.

Buzz Cut!

Brian's specialty is the buzz cut. I can't do it....Ben's hair always turns out so hectic when I try. Regardless, Ben is not thrilled! But always happy when it's over with:

Playing at the Park

We have several parks close by and we decide which to go based on whether or not we are going out to lunch. This park is on the way to our favorite Mexican restaurant: Summer LOVES to swing:

The both love going on this:

Here they are, running around and playing like crazy:

And look how nice they can be to each other (once they learn they get to go out to lunch):

Trouble with a capital T!

I left the kitchen for 2 minutes to talk w/Brian about dinner plans. We noticed it was pretty quiet around the house and then we heard some shaking noises in the kitchen. When I ran in to see what was going on, this is what I found: Summer got into all of my decorating sugars, etc. and was pretty much drinking/eating them from the bottle. Plus, she poured piles of the stuff all throughout the pantry. When we tried to wipe it off the counter - red dye smeared everywhere. It was a HUGE mess to clean up.

All I can say is:

Summer is an imph that moves like speed lightening!! WOW!
