why are tents so fun? maybe because, really...anything could be a tent!! i hear the two of them back in wyatt's room giggling and saying "tent"...this is what i found!
then of course, once i was spotted, i had to somehow get in with them. silly cuties!

we've been in town the last few weekends, but this weekend was different because we actually had no plans!! we just got to be at home and relax! it was so fun and much needed! we did some yard work, house work and playing too! we put the canopy up for some shade! matt, wyatt, claire and lucy were taking advantage of it during snack time! :)
claire's hair has gotten long enough for pig-tales! it took me a while and i had to follow her around a bit to get them in, but they are insanely cute! both of us need more practice–me getting them in, her keeping them in and letting me put them in! :)
yes, my kids like frosted mini-wheat's! i like them, but i just didn't think that they would, but they do. i have to make them a little soft for claire, then they are total mush by the time she is close to finishing. toward the end of breakfast, wyatt looks at her and says, "look, quair had da beard"!
the little mess showing off her full "beard"!! :)
the kiddos and i could not wait to get outside today, it was just a perfect weather day! here are some pictures of the fun we had! :)
wyatt got this car for his birthday last year...little did he know how soon he would have to share it with someone else...and often!
as you can see, he's not too worried about the car...there are lots of sticks
FINALLY getting to play with the sand and water table (currently a water/water table) they got for christmas. they love it!
lucy's going to end up really liking it too with all the sips of water they give her...however i think she'd like it even more if i'd move it out of the way so she could get on the deck with us.
dumping the water out. half on the floor, half on themselves!
"this is great!"
"this is...in my way!"
sweetest moment of the day – wyatt sharing a bite of food and feeding it to claire!
"mmm, da du"
an excited wyatt holding the easter egg he made with his name on it!
wyatt and claire shared a basket that we stuffed with goodies for them. after church he took daddy outside to see the bubble wand work. lucy kept trying to catch and eat the bubbles!! silly doggie!
our chruch had a potluck/picnic at a local park. it was fun to get to hang out and get to know more people in our church.
while the parents hid the eggs the kids were listening to the easter story that two of our friends taught to them using resurrection eggs (which is told using a dozen eggs that have little symbols inside of them that help visually tell the story of Jesus' resurrection...very neat). as you can see, wyatt is not paying attention and i am apparently distracting some of the other kids! oops! (he was already there hanging onto the rails, and i just thought it was funny how he was the only one not sitting down...he is the youngest, so he's not as used to that as the other kids yet!)
the line up for the charge up the hill to the "hidden" eggs!
the charge!!
daddy helping wyatt find a few eggs. he really didn't need too much help, mainly because the bigger girls brought him plenty...there was a 10 egg limit...
