Art Fishing Easter Soccer Boys

Oh goodness SPRING is here.  Thank goodness.  The boys are overjoyed at being able to play outside, Ed and I are grateful for tired boys at night.  Graham is exhausted at night.

Last weekend we took Jr. fishing - thankfully Nanny came over to watch Graham.  Jr. did great in the boat and enjoyed fishing for a couple hours.  We only had troubles when we woke him up to soon from his nap.  We didn't catch anything, and he was bummed, but Ed and I were hopeful that there would be more days like that to come.

Easter weekend was a blur.  Nanny came to town, we had the Wileys over and the kids rocked out on easter eggs filled with candy.  We had a second egg hunt at Nona and Papa's in the afternoon with Faith.  The boys got so spoiled with candy until their mom ripped it out of their mouths.  She is so mean.  So unfair.  Honestly, I love my kids, but those two Gremlins they turn into after sugar ingestion - stink.  I know I am an old stick in the mud...

Jr. started soccer this week!  He was kind of spacey and full of energy, but he is a good athelete and he LOVES to play with the boys.  The coach has twins Jr.'s age so he is well preparred for a lot of energy and a lot of explaining.  This is where it starts.  The start of activities...

Graham is so busy these days, busy keeping up with his brother, busy terrorizing us with his "terrible two-ness".  He is getting his two year molars and man he is a stinker boy.  He still has bouts of amazing sweetness which melts our hearts.  Damn he is cute too - super curly hair and beautiful blue eyes.  He is a super flirt too.
