easter suits

we didn't get any good pics of any of us on easter sunday. we were busy napping, cooking, cleaning and getting ready for company (johne's fam coming into town!!) here are a couple pics of the boys in their easter suits! to see the unblurry pictures, you'll have to click on each one.

rocketeer

nate begged me to put his crocs on (over his rocket footsie jammies), then came walking up with jack's backpack motioning me to put it on his back. it looks gigantic on him, but he had fun walking around and looking at it in the mirror. nate's always got a cheese smile for the camera!

sick wish

while jack was sick, he was asking in his cute little sickly weak voice, to go to target and pick out a green thomas the train. in the past i have refused to buy thomas the train stuff because it is SOOOO expensive! $11 for 1 little train! johne wanted to surprise him when he got home last night, so he scoured target for a green thomas the train. he found red and blue, but no green. he didn't know how hard green would be to find! he kept looking and looking and finally saw a green one and bought it. johne was excited to get home are surprise jack with his sick wish toy, imagining jack jumping up and down with delight! johne got home, gave jack big hugs and then pulled out the green train. jack had no expression. johne asked if it was the wrong color or was too small. jack said that he wanted a small mini train, but didn't get sad or mad, just went on playing with a couple of (free) 3cc syringes, flying them around like rockets! why do we spend all this money on toys when they like the free non toys!?

ps. we are returning the expensive green thomas the train!

green hats and snow day

my mom got to see some snow while she was out here!! it was our first real snow for the year, but it's almost gone and will for sure be gone by the weekend. it will be in the 70's tomorrow! yippee! here are some pics of gran with silly nate!

early easter

my mom did an easter egg hunt with the boys while she was here! even though jack was sick, they both had a blast! jack is begging to find more eggs, so we've been hiding eggs with healthy snacks (vitamins, raisans, crackers, mangos, cheese)! thanks mom for all the fun we had while you were here! jack has already been begging to go to papa's house and nate keeps signing and calling your name!

cheese smile

we have been trying to get a good picture of the cheese smile (the funny smile where he wrinkles his nose, squints his eyes, shows his teeth and makes a cheese sound with his mouth) for a while. here are a few shots, but they don't do justice to the real thing!

pajama day

some days it's just nice to stay in pj's all day, especially when it's cold! nate is having a blast feeding jack and yes, i sometimes (ok, a lot) feed the kids down in the basement instead of at the kitchen table!
