Just one more day

Whenever we go down to G & G's house, we always find ourselves wanting "just one more day." So, this time we planned ahead and just took Monday off. It made the weekend a lot less rushed and improved our chances of getting on a flight!

We went out to a wild bird sanctuary on Monday and walked around there on a beautiful day to check out all the cool birds.

Our first little guy we saw

A couple of Dodo birds, in a cage

Streeeetch!

Wink, wink 

M chatted with these two pelicans for a good 5 minutes. It was so funny!

Out to lunch before heading home.

What a great weekend! Thanks to G & G for having us! Hope Grandpa had a good birthday!

Happy Easter

We continued some of our Easter traditions down there like having the Easter bunny hide the baskets and eggs outside. No egg rolling this year, but we had so much fun, they didn't even ask!

My two bunnies

Found my basket! The Easter Bunny underestimated his skills this year. Tool about 10 seconds. Haha

Big brother helped Miss M find hers

Grandma even wore her bunny hat

Checking out the baskets

Checking out her candy

Starting off the egg hunt!

That bag looks heavy!

Grandpa is helping count to determine if we found all the eggs

This made me laugh. I feel like I will happen upon this same scene in about 12 years.

N, playing with his airplane the Easter bunny brought him

The look on her face makes me laugh out loud! This was a bug she got in her basket. I also love that she is wearing one of her brother's biking gloves(backwards) on her other hand. She wore them much of the weekend.

This year Grandpa's birthday was on Easter Sunday! So, we had an extra special dinner!

The birthday hat even grew ears for the day!

STL fun

When we got back from our egg hunt on Saturday(Grandma had stayed behind to wait for the pool company), this is what we saw...one dirty, but open pool!

Hello, friend! We've missed you!

Speaking of friends.....Miss M was VERY excited to see hers, back at his post!

Grandma, enjoying the day on the deck

Got the sandbox all opened up and ready to go!

Happy as a lark!

Blowing bubbles

Still need some work, not touching it to our lips. :)

In the zone

Working on his swing

We dyed our eggs for tomorrow!

Professional egg dyer!

Soulard Easter Egg Hunt!

For Easter weekend, we headed down to G & G's house for a long weekend. The Saturday before Easter, we went to the Soulard Easter egg hunt. We got some yummy bbq first and ate in the park and walked up just in time for the hunt. The kids, of course, had a blast.

Daddy and M, huntin' eggs

Finishing up the hunt!

Zap!

Walking back to the car....love this picture!

Sunning

Some people's pets can be found sunning themselves, wherever the sun falls on the floor....

Heehee

Zoo Day

Lately, I have been working weekend days and taking off weekdays with the kids, in exchange. It's really a great deal because I can do it when I want, I get SO much more done on those weekend days at work, we have had some great days during the week, taking field trips, visiting friends, plus we save on daycare costs. A great deal indeed!

One of our recent days off, we went to the zoo to check out the new baby animals!

My sweet, sweet boy! Cute too! ;)

Love!
