Easter 2014

Planting the "Magic Bunny Beans"... I wonder what the magic beans will grow????

They took this job very seriously!

Time to dye the Easter eggs... not sure what they were more excited for... the hard boiled eggs to eat or to dye!

I remember doing this when they were 2.... they cracked a lot of eggs.  Now that they are 4, the only one who cracked eggs was Daddy while he was cooking them.

Easter Morning

So BIG... Remember when they fit inside these baskets?????

Look at what grew.... Easter Egg Suckers!

Easter Egg hunt at Grammas!

"Look how many I found mommy!"

Their favorite people.... Sammy and Peter!

Showing Daddy all their treasures...

The best part of night shift...

Tucking mom into bed in the am... with all of her "friends"

Hanging with Ms. Eva!

Easter Bunny art work!

I have not idea why... but Nathan's absolute favorite thing to get at restaurants is MAC N CHEESE!  He eats it all and he is so happy.  Its actually quite funny.  

I thought the circus would be fun however the boys absolutely LOVED it.  I would for sure go again.... Ben's favorite part- the man being shot from the cabin

Nathan's favorite part- the giant ball with motorcycles in it

Poor Ben had strep throat... he fell asleep in the cart at target waiting for his medicine. 

A sick boy lead to a stroller walk... maybe our last with the double stroller.  I makes me a little sad.. I'm so use to the double stroller... I kind of can't believe my time with it is over.... nor can I believe my boys are too big for a stroller.  

Bike ride date to get donuts on the patio!  Big boy treats... for big boys:)

Spring Break 2014

Spring break was simple this year... have fun!   After our trip to Florida last fall and Mommy and Daddy's California trip we decided that what we really needed was a little no work, no school/daycare time.  Ben's request was "Pajama Day!"  Nathan's request was the Children's Museum and a trip to CandyYand AKA CandyLand.  Mission accomplished on all fronts!

Children's Museum

They loved the dino exhibit

CandyYand

MN Zoo

Science Museum

Checking out the payphone.... pretty sure they have never seen one before.  

How crazy... a phone that has a cord:)

They seriously watched this huge marble run for 30 minutes... 

Auntie Hannah date day at the Gigantic dinos!

So excited to see his 1st omnitheater movie!

The biggest dino ever.  Ben loved the ipads that showed what the dinos looked like with skin on.  

Dog Park

Berkeley LOVES the dog park... Nathan and Benjamin do too!  It has been such a cold winter that we haven't gotten there much.... so we took advantage of the warmer weather and ventured out.  The boys ran, threw balls to Berkeley and played for more then an hour.  

In heaven .... outside.... they never complain about being cold.

Watching their pup... they are always together... always buds.  Berkeley is their best bud too!  Everytime a new dog would approach Berks would run between the boys and the new dog and make sure the dog was nice before letting it near N &B.... it was suttle but deliberate.  We simply couldn't ask for a better dog!

Breakfast in St. Paul

Both boys ate ALL of their food... I can't even remember the last time that happened.   They loved it!

Celebrating Peter's Birthday!
