Well, I am a little behind on my blogging so here is a recap of the past few weeks...
This was the first year that both kids dyed Easter eggs. They LOVED it but they also prefered to use thier hands instead of spoons to fish out the eggs from the dye. Needless to say Kennedy's hands, feet and legs were stained for a day or two. Did I mention she only liked the red dye? She also tried to eat an egg or two... As you remember Easter was frigid but we had fully intended on going to the church egg hunt. The kiddos opted for a swim in Dusty's pool (heated luckily) instead so we just hunted eggs at his house after the swim. That was enough for them.
OTHER VANOVER HAPPENINGS- We are loving spending more time outside and at the zoo. We have started the total yard makeover so the kids have spent a lot of time in the mud lately. Chance laid sod in the backyard, aka the dirt farm, which has been a great change for us. He also has been replacing the siding on the back of the house and dad is helping him build a deck. In the midst of the construction Brayden stepped on a nail- it went straight through his croc. He was very brave (only crawling around when he thought it would pull the needed sympathy) and has healed nicely...no doctor visit needed.
We had a milestone at our house last week. With 2 toddlers we became very lax with the kiddos getting in our bed in the middle of the night. Since everyone is so big we were too crowded and with a little positive reinforcement Brayden now sleeps in his bed all night. Who knew that the incentive of getting WHACK-A-MOLE after 5 consecutive nights was so powerful (so if you have an overwhleming urge to get in a game of whack-a-mole come on over!)
I think that about covers it for now../next up- Brayden turns 4!!!
