How to beat the heat?

It was 90 degrees outside today.... It's the middle of April and its already that hot??? So to beat the heat we invited some friends over to play in the pool!

These are Caleb's friends, Ava and Jamison Todd




They thought it was fun to have me spray them with the hose


Caleb has become obsessed with bikes lately. The other day some kids were outside riding and Caleb stared out the window without making a word for at least 10 min

No candy left behind

Happy Easter!

We've already had our fill of candy already and there is more to come from Paul...I mean the Easter Bunny tonight.

Yesterday for playgroup we had an Easter Egg Hunt, this was perfect because the city one that we went to today was crazy busy with all the kids hording eggs. So for playgroup each child was allowed 12 eggs (that's how many we each brought). Caleb was able to take his time finding them and open each one and grab a candy snack while he looked for the next egg.



"Eggs where aaarrree you?!"
"Oh there it is!"





And today we went to another egg hunt. He got his face painted and a picture with the Easter bunny (they'll email us a better picture soon).


He was willing to yell "hi" to the Easter Bunny while we waited in line but when it came to sitting on his lap he was too scared. This is, until the bunny gave him an egg with candy in it. The Easter Bunny had all Caleb's attention after that.


We were smart to choose the other side of the grass area, away from this hord of kids

.


And dying eggs went better than I planned. Caleb didn't get very messy and he enjoyed it more than I thought he would. A success!
