Daffodils + Puyallup =

The Daffodil Parade!
All lined up, ready to watch the parade. We were happy the sun came out to join us.
Veteran soldiers carrying "the flag of our country"
The Court
Didn't know electric guitars were in the marching bands now
The boys like the fishing float
Still not a fan of clowns, but I had to take a few pictures of them anyway
Didn't know they were going to shoot anyone(thing) out of the cannon. I just happened to catch it while I was taking a picture of the cannon
These clams reminded me of Alice in Wonderland - when they sing the Walrus and the Carpenter
Lots of pirates. The boys loved them!
Very excited to see a double decker bus
UP
Old McDonald came too!
Showing off their amazing dance moves at the end of the parade

I'm Free!

April 5, 2011
Fast asleep while I fill up his room
Guess he isn't a fan of a camera first thing in the morning.
But was sure super happy when he looked around!
Breakfast request - Mickey pancake with sprinkles
And what else would Luke want to do on his birthday?
Very particular about getting the fingers in the right places
I love this sequence of Kurt
He was slightly disappointed that his friends Raschelle, MJ and Scott hadn't actually given him raisin bran. He LOVES that cereal and really wanted to eat some. But he got excited again when he saw it was a new TS3 coloring book.
He and his brother have been trying to jump rope with various things around the house, so Kurt got him a real jumping rope.
And new puzzles...he's too good at all the ones we had.
and new books from Grammy
and his very own "clock" to wear (a watch)
and a few more coloring books from us
He wanted cupcakes, and as they sat there, I decided I'd try to make them into a bowling ball. It didn't work very well, but I tried.
I loved his satisfied smile

It's that time again...

One of my all time favorite holiday treats to make. I enlisted some helpers this year in my marshmallow separating
The colors weren't as vibrant as I like, but they still tasted good

Ghetto Kite

It was SUPER windy today and Kurt really wanted to fly a kite (his cousins were flying kites last week). The problem was, we didn't have a kite. Yes, it's ghetto, but it satisfied his need - he had a great time!

April Fools

The boys really wanted to do a trick on dad. I'm not very good at coming up with these things and the best I could come up with was Bertie Botts. Kurt isn't the best at playing sly, so Brandon knew what was up, but was a good sport and played along for us.

Here are Luke and Dad checking out some of the options
Luke wasn't a big fan of this one
He didn't know if he had a good one or a bad one, so we were trying to smell the flavor
Kurt wasn't too keen on the game. I'm pretty sure he's eating a coconut one, so I'm not sure why he looks so nervous
I too refused to play the game, but was glad Brandon did. His faces were priceless!

Mud Puddle Briggade

Having some fun with our puddle and our sandwich clam
