Signs of spring around here:
My little guys in their Easter shirts I got them at H&M - they also had bowties, however, kept it cas for the big EB!
......beautiful blooms in the backyard!
Spring Break and lots of time with my little guys....
Dylan is really into drawing and we have an ongoing discussion on how he is going to catch me a chipmunk....he drew this illistration of how on a rainy/sunny (note the sun and the raindrops)day he will will walk by a tree and catch me one, he will put an acorn on one side of the tree and then it will walk to the acorn and he will catch it!.....notice how one is walking right by him.....
Spring Cleaning makes room for some Thrifting adventures......this weeks toy score - Fisher Price Little People Ferris Wheel and Playground Set (Brody approved) total $6.50 for both!....came with little people and once scrubbed up brought hours to fun time....altho not sure why a chicken is at the fair or at the playground....unless of course that is why the chicken crossed the road......yehaw....thanks folks, I'll be here all week, don't forget to tip your waitress....
The Spring Auto Show in Del Mar.....Steve went and found this fun addition to our collection of advertising that show a car like our '65 Pony.....love this as it has our wheels and logos too....well done honey!
.....and the Spring weather netted a second trip to the Thrift Store where I found this jewel for only $50.00!!!! I.Love.It
.....all it needed was a little love....aka....lemon oil, furniture pen to cover some scratches and a chance to shine! It now homes and organizes all my decorating items like candles, glass beads, holiday decor, etc.
.....and a spring break sleep over during the week - how fun is that.....could not resist these sleeping pictures of two loving brothers....
....and when Brody eventually pushed Dylan out of bed he got up and helped GiGi make some bird nests out of rice krispies, green icing and cadbury eggs.....after we molded the eggs in a muffin pan, Dylan took over lining the nest with green icing...
....hmmm GiGi...I better taste it to make sure it is ok.....
Adding the eggs.....three in everyone, not 2 not four, 3!
.....and these precious hands hold a little spring nest!
.....and spring also brings a Lego birthday party for Dylan!!! Mommy went all out i nthe theme.....
....a build it yourself Lego car station and ramp which was really enjoyed by the kids....
....and a special banner spelling out the birthday boy's name.....
.....a picture of the birthday boy in a lego frame with a lego wishing the kids lots of lego fun....
....a collage of the previous 5 birthdays leading up to #6....
....and the sweetest boy soaking it all in....love the 6 on his birthday lego shirt...
Brody takes a swing at the small kids pinata.....
.......Dylans name in Legos on the cake!
Time for presents.....yeaaaaaaaa! Happy 6th Birthday Dylan!
After the party Steve and Adam went to a Spring Classic around here - Padres Vs. Dodgers.....I hunkered down with Rocky and season 1 of Downtown Abbey and made a skillet dinner of fennel, yellow shash, maui onion and sliced left over steak.....and stuffed a zillion eggs for the egg hunt! Favorite quote of the night...'All of us have chapters in our life we don't want published'....yeah, I would say so :)
Up early this a.m. to make bunny tracks....Rocky was a big help!
Hop Hop Hop....hiding eggs and spreading joy whereever he goes.....
The Addie and Shannie came early as Adam and Steve are the BEST egg hiders bar none....Shannie and I had a bonding moment as we analyzed human behavior and the important things in life.....I love her more every time I see her....
Gramps eyeing a spot to hide one....
....the little ones arrive with Mommy (poor Daddy had to work!)....Buckets of candy and Tshirts from Gramps and GiGi....Plants vs. Zombies for Dylan....Chipmunks for Brody
What's this????? A chipmunk for GiGi from her boys?? How sweet is that.....it must have been a sunny rainy day when he eyed an acorn....the rest is history!
A quick look outside....what? Bunny Tracks!
Look! Eggs by the tracks, come on Brody - let's go!
...oops...out of order but Dylan and his shirt....
