Snack Time

Reed found these donut treats for the dogs today but Nekoh took off with his before I could snap a photo. Rusty was a good boy to sit still for the camera!

Feeling kinda puny...take two

After Nolan had a bug last week we were fools to think his twinkie brother was going to dodge a bullet and remain healthy. He's had his ups and downs this week from feeling ok, to not feeling well at all. Hopefully, he's on the homestretch to wellness and this bug finds its way out of our house!!

Sooooooooooo many thanks to Jammy for coming to spend "jammy-time" with Reed all week, and Nolan in the afternoons. We know they've loved having her around. Thank you to Grandy for braving the storms this week alone and sending his "main squeeze" to Woodstock for some TLC for the boys, ok, for Todd and I, too! We love you!

Oops

In all the dealings of the sick house yesterday we forgot to say...


Cheers to 7 years with the most handsome, fastest, stubborn, cat/squirrell/bunny- kevorkian husky to grace us with his presence! We love you Nekoh!!

Jammy Day

Well, Reed ended up getting whatever bug Nolan had last weekend and we got a call from Kids R Kids yesterday saying that he wasn't eating his lunch and his head was resting on the table. Not eating lunch?!?! Whoa, he's really sick!
Jammy came to spend the day at home with him seeing as he had a fever yesterday and maybe a bit of one today. From the chocolate icecream goatee's, can't you tell that he's sick!?!

A visit from the Springster Bunnie

Uh-oh! Reed accidentally came downstairs while the "springster bunny" was hiding the boys' baskets. So, the bunny had to think quick (at 6:30am mind you) she turned off the lights, hid the eggs and baskets behind her back and said "Reed, Nekoh threw up and I'm cleaning it, go back upstairs to bed!" Surprisingly, he ablidged and never said another word about it!!!
Here they are coming downstairs getting ready to look for their baskets.

They kept taking lifesavers out of their buckets saying "mommie, I got ANOTHER cheerio!"

Above all, they were the most excited to get brand new toothbrushes that they could decorate with stickers. (These DEFINITLY aren't Dawn's kids!) haha, love ya, sis!

Getting ready for Nana's egg hunt in our front yard.

They all fanned out to find their own special money filled eggs. Thanks, Nana!

Nolan wasn't feeling that great all weekend. He was kinda glazed-over...or it may have been a sugar crash from all the candy he'd eaten!

The boys were super excited to put all their egghunt monies into their monkey banks. Reed kept calling the dollar bills "tickets". "Here, Nolan," he'd say, "put your ticket in your bank!"

Southlands Springster 'Stravaganzaa

Today, our neighborhood had their Easter celebration at the park with an egg hunt, pictures with the Easter Bunny, and loads of friends--both 2 legged and furry.

Reed and Nolan filled their baskets with as many plastic eggs as they could.

Jammy and Grandy joined in on the day and the boys had fun showing them all their eggs and dragging them around from one thing to another...everyone was worn out!

Elli and Joli Palmquist (neighbors from the cul-de-sac) sat with the boys and compared the cool stuff from their eggs!

Oh, how they looooove that bunny! Especially since he makes his entrance on the big red firetruck!

Lamma yamma ding dong! Oops, I kept calling this thing a Llama and I think it's a camel. I'll get my smelly, ragged-looking, spit-launching mammals right one of these days.

A real kangaroo, really!?! I was ready for this joey to raise up on his hind legs and box one of the kids that came into the cage with him. Fortunately, he was a sweet baby that just wanted to munch on the grass or a shoelace or two.

Then, it was time to dye eggs. Almost 4 dozen eggs to color, and it actually went pretty well...and fast!

Probably not the best idea to eat the eggs with the cracks in them, uh, that might just be all of them! Oh well, we had fun anyhow!

I don't feel well...

Nolan stayed home with mommie today for a sick day. He kept saying "I don't feel well", but then was running around like a monkey!
