Easter Prep -

The kids have been busy prepping for Easter.  Angie has been helping!  She bought the kids an egg coloring kit and they colored eggs with the neighbors.  She also made them the cutest little Easter car treats with Twinkies. 

 

Angie is such a big part of our lives and yet we have very few pictures -

 Proud (or scared) of the finished product) -

 Making Portuguese sweet bread with Angie -

Just some recent pics of the kids....

Fun with a laundry basket....

 

Wooahaaa...wild hair....

 

Is there two or one in there?

Dear Jesus....

Luke had a retreat for CCD and had to write a letter to Jesus. 

Luke is clearly thankful for his sports heroes.

 

I guess he doesn't plan on communicating with Jesus much after this as apparent in the "PS see you in heaven" comment.

 

 

CAbi...for kids??

I had a CAbi party on Friday night.  Paige was SO excited to try on some of the samples. They were falling off of her but she didn't care.  My fashionista!!!

 

I asked Luke to put his dishes in the dishwasher tonight.  This is what I got....

Marley and Mini-Me -

How many Marley and Me pictures can I post on the blog???

People come over and can't believe these two.  They say, "you have to get a picture of this" as Ali is bear hugging Marley.  I just wave it off, "I have 100 of these pictures already." These two really are too much.  The kids left for school the other day and Ali started crying.  She then caught Marley out of the corner of her eye, ran (as best as a toddler runs) over to his bed and dived onto him and laid with him. 

 

Luke and Paige didn't have the benefit of a CALM family dog.  What they got was a wild animal that used to eat pounds of bird seed (then proceed to "get rid" of it all over the house), an occasional squirrel (oh yes!) and hurdle great-grandmothers, to name a few.  Ali is lucky in that Marley is olden now. He lays on that bed all day and is prime for impromptu hugs and snuggle time.

 

And don't think Marley doesn't get something out of the deal.  Ali is always dropping or handing him food -

As it turns out, we aren't that different from our pets after all.  Seems as if everyone is just looking for a little sun in this long hard winter -
