Easter Fun

Wow, two blogs in one month, I'm doing good.

We've had a fun Easter weekend. On Saturday we colored our eggs which with four kids is an adventure.




Enoch was fascinated, he just kept putting them in and out, in and out.




We also had the usual accidents.




Even Reina enjoyed herself.




Here are our finished products.






On Sunday we had church of course and Reina wore her new dress from Grandpa and Grandma.




She wasn't too sure about the hat though.


We also got a picture of Reina practicing standing on her own. She usually lowers herself down right away if she notices that you let go of her so this was tricky to get.





Lauryn and Enoch were playing train.




Enoch was being silly as usual. He is like this very often, (read almost always).







On Monday the Easter Bunny came and brought too many treats. The kids enjoyed searching for the candy.



The Easter Bunny even put eggs in Spiderman's hand...



... and a jackpot in Reina's walker.




Reina enjoyed finding eggs...




...but she enjoyed eating them more. These clips were taken in sequence.





Happy Easter Everyone!!

January, February, March


Here we are at the middle of March and I haven't posted in awhile although at least I'm doing better than Jo. Just thought I'd post a few pics of the kids from the last three months.

January:

We are still in love with superheroes at our house.

and the kids are still crazy and silly.


Reina is as cute as ever although she is growing fast.



Grandpa and Grandma, your gift was a hit. Lauryn loves to play with her Littlest Pet Shop home. As you can see, she has quite a few.


February:

We haven't posted any pictures of Reina in the tub but here is a cute clip. She loves the tub and gets very excited when she hears the water running when she is in the bathroom.

We had a number of snow storms in the past three months so we took the opportunity to play outside.

There was a fair bit of snow but it wasn't that sticky. We did attempt to build a snowman on our porch but it kind of just looks like a slug. The kids had fun with him though. They liked sitting on him and turned him into a throne later on.

March:

Eva got her hair cut at the end of February and new glasses at the beginning of March. Her hair was really long and I cut it more than I planned to. It was supposed to only be shoulder length but we had to go shorter because I'm not the best hairstylist. Here's the before pictures....

....and the after with the new glasses. Fortunately she really liked her new look. It turned out pretty good in the end.

We have been plyaing a lot of Lego and Duplo lately and the kids have really been getting into it. Here are some of our best creations.

Enoch and my ship (please note, Spiderman, Wolverine and Captain America. They were very important to the completion of the ship.)

Lauryn's truck which she built by following the instructions, all by herself.

Paul and Enoch's Batboat. (Paul built it, Enoch played with it.)

Reina has a new past time. She discovered she could climb onto this chair all by herself and so now it is her favorite chair. She also likes to climb up the stairs but hasn't learnt how to come down so we are always chasing her.

We're not quite sure why she climbed in here but she thought it was hilarious.

Paul had the opportunity to go with Lauryn to her preschool for parents day. Here is some of the fun they had.

Snack time!!

Playing in the teepee and...

exercise time. They do excercises everyday but the kids like doing the chicken dance the best and so wanted to do it for their parents.

Since Eva turned eight she has been involved with Activity Days at church. One of their activites was to build temples out of sugar cubes and icing.

This is a typical picture at our house. We were trying to take a picture of Lauryn's braids but Enoch really wanted to be in the picture. He really wants to be in every picture. So he found a way in. For every picture we have that doesn't have Enoch, we have two that do. He LOVES having his picture taken and of course seeing himself on the back of the camera.

Don't you just want to give her a hug and a kiss?
