April 2010 - Centennial Farm

Summer's favorite animal to visit at Centennial Farm are the pigs - especially the piglets:
She spent alot of time petting them, that's for sure.

They had a great time - now off to wash and sanitize those hands!!

April 2010 - Centennial Farm

We like to go to Centennial Farm every once in a while. It's at the Orange County Fairground and it's free. In the spring there are a lot of baby animals so it's more fun than usual.

I think Ben liked the goats the best.

But the goats definitely liked Summer the best because they could easily nibble on her dress.

Awwww....so cute.

Good Morning - April 2010

There's nothing like a big cup of hot chocolate on a cool morning! The mug is almost as big as Summer's head!

Time for a goofy picture:

The Bedtime Routine

The bedtime routine is NOT going too well with Summer right now. I think it's because I started back to work full time and so they take a solid 2 hour nap at her preschool. We put her in bed at least 10 times before she will finally stay in her bed. But one night we put her to bed once and thought she was asleep in her bed. Instead, this is where we found her: Awwww....she made her own little bed in the hallway.

Race at the Park

Brian wanted to run a 5 mile race so we joined him - to watch and to play at the park. Summer loves to drag around sticks and thought this one was very cool.

Ben is awesome at the monkey bars. He loves them and is so fast going across!

Summer loves her swing!! We were having so much fun we missed seeing Brian cross the finish line - whoops! That's what he gets for being so fast!!

Easter Morning

Easter Morning, they were so cute and excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought. Lots of candy, a remote control car for Ben and pretty pony stuff for Summer.

And....peeps! They saw them at Target and couldn't wait to eat some peeps. I don't think it was really worth the wait...they basically each ate one and were done with it. On to bigger and better things - like chocolate easter bunnies - yum!!

Easter Eve

On Easter Eve the kids put their newly dyed eggs into their baskets and set them out for the Easter Bunny. They were so excited that I couldn't get them to both look and smile into the camera at the same time....but they do look cute anyway. So I told them to give me a goofy smile and this is what I got:

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!
