Questions

Damen is full of awesome questions lately!
This latest one was asked as we navigated a very busy road biking/scootering to the pool today:

"Hey mom, what's a database?"

I gotta be honest, it's hard to think and ride a bike pulling a 50lb (at LEAST) trailer, but I love this kids curiosity.

Summer starts!

Summer has started!!  
We've got cousin Lincoln here most days, 
no car, and not a lot of funds.
So we'll be taking it easy these next few months!
We'll find some fun though!!

Snuggling boys in the morning (those blankets make good forts too)


Painting!  Mason had flour/water/food coloring, I knew he'd want to taste the paint.

Movies and popcorn!  

There are a few parks we can walk/bike to and even the pool isn't too far.  Wish us luck, no one wants to hear the word "bored"!

Ummm, Easter?

So, I was all set to put up a new post when I realized I haven't taken a picture since EASTER!!
And I never even posted them!  So here ya go :)

Saturday we dyed about a dozen hard boiled eggs using the vinegar/food coloring method.  Damen wanted to mix all of the colors and by the end everything was green!

I was taking this pic with Mason in my lap, trying to get the eggs in the background, you can see the egg carton. . . 

Sunday morning the boys were up bright and early, as usual!  We enjoyed our Easter baskets and had them search for the dyed and plastic eggs.  We put something special in the "sports" themed eggs just for Damen.



Lego candies!!  He was SO excited about these, and it took him about a month to finally eat them all.  


After the fun we went to church for a spiritual reminder about why we really celebrate this day:  

Luke 24:
 He is not here, but is arisenremember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
