hip hop hippity hop.

Charlie working on his Easter skills

with Will's homemade basket.

I happen to think they're both to die for.

the dye job.

the hunt.

Charlie was surprisingly good at hunting.

He was super serious and loved being one of the big kids.

I think the treats inside had something to do with it.

hop hopping for those eggs that were a little too high.

No shame.

sometimes they surprise us.

Does anyone else think it is amazing that

there are 7 kids in this picture and

nobody is crying,

everyone is sort of looking at the camera,

and most of them are smiling?

It lasted about 8 seconds

but we'll take it.

Tuesday we met up with friends from my days in Spokane.

We were all either newly or not married and childless

the last time we were together.

Things have changed a bit

but we had a fun day at the zoo

and it was great to catch up

and meet their sweet kids.

Hope to see them again soon!

jump, jump

goofy little dude.

silly boy.

channeling his inner Woody.

{such a treat to find pics on the camera that i didn't take.}

ummm mom...

playing baseball in the backyard

while I was in the kitchen,

with my feet up, eating bon bons.

(insert Char crying)

W: "ummm, mom."

me: "what Will?"

W: umm mom, somethin' happened."

me: "what happened bud?"

W: ummm, somehow the ball hit Char right in his forehead."

i need some bloggy love.

Why the (insert any/all expletive{s}) is the spacing on this blog

that I've had for a really long time

so crazy?

Why can't it just do what I say?

And not double, triple, quadruple space what I write?

For the love of god,

please someone,

anyone

tell me why

and how to freakin fix it.

{OK...so I just read some of the help sites

and maybe using google chrome

instead of internet explorer will fix it.

we'll see.}

talent.

It took a lot longer to go get the marshmallows

for these Curious George inspired crafts

(George built a bridge for ducklings with his)

than we actually spent making them.

I recommend not using (really, really) old spaghetti noodles

that break in half when you glance in their direction.

Charlie liked it though.
