Bunkers Are For Hiding In

Since Chris is in the middle of exams the boys and I have been getting creative for keeping ourselves busy.  Last week we stopped by the free Army Heritage Museum that has an amazing walking trail complete with bunkers, trenches, helicopters and tanks...David was quite impressed.  And as usual, Henry is not in the pictures because I was wearing him, I promise I didn't leave him in the car :)

This is a WWI trench that you can run through and climb in.

 A mud filled Vietnam War bunker.

 There were some reenacters there which was really exciting, I thought David was about to run down to join in on the fun....

Did you notice a trend in my pictures....they're mostly all of the back of David's head...I guess that's how you can tell he's having a good time, he refuses to stop for any *nice* pictures.  Oh well!

Easter Sunday Festivities

We have had a very fun and very busy Easter Sunday!   The boys received their Easter baskets first thing in the morning--and by first thing I mean 5:30 am, excuse the super dark pictures, the sun hadn't quite risen yet.....

David got a St. David the King doll, some trains and some chocolate lambs--I'll let you guess which gift he went for first.......And Henry got a St. Henry doll and the Alphabet of Catholic Saints book. 

Then it was off to mass in our coordinating outfits.  We arrived twenty minutes early and were the first family to get there and not get a seat.  We ended up on the balcony and David did not do nearly as well as he does when we are up front and he can see everything.  Oh well!  Notice the adorable bow-ties.  Chris thinks David looks like the little trouble maker from the Problem Child movies, I think he looks precious.  Get ready for the cuteness.....

Of course there's no entire family picture, which is a shame because we all matched...well, maybe next year.....At least I got some decent pictures of me this time so it is documented that I do indeed exist.....

After naps, it was time for the Easter party extravaganza.  We hosted Chris' law school friends and families and we had an egg hunt, lots of food and even more Easter candy.  I think the kids had a lot of fun, but Chris and I are officially exhausted!

Henry's First Haircut

While visiting Elizabeth today we stopped by this great hair salon that gives under three's haircuts for just $3!  David was in desperate need of a *trim* for Easter and I figured while we were there we could try to tame Henry's do as well.  I think Elizabeth was more excited than anyone to see the boys with more refined hair styles--I don't think she appreciates their wild & long hairdos that I like to refer to as their signature styles....

 The Before

 Curious about what's going on....

 Not super excited.........

 Really not excited............

 Isn't thrilled with the new do......

 Still not sure about the hair.......

And finally, peaceful acceptance......don't worry Henry, it'll grow back!

David's Favorite Outfit

This has been David's preferred attire for a few weeks now.  I don't mind, it makes potty time so much easier....but we are starting to get some looks from the neighbors though......

Henry, Grass. Grass, Henry

Henry got to get outside yesterday and get down and dirty.  He wasn't sure if he liked grass at first but we got to learn some important lessons being that close to nature...like the difference between leaves and food......
