Outdoors at long last.

We took advantage of the beautiful weather this week to get outside. 

The boys enjoyed the sand toys that had been left at the playground.

Taking a rest on the long walk downtown with Dad. 

Running around and around. 

Ben's turn to mug for the camera downtown with Dad. 

Looking for boats on the lake. 

Chris counting.  Ben helping. 

Brothers

Stickers, not stars upon thars.

Reading at bedtime. 

Finally all ready to fix things. 

Picking their favorite cars. 

Cleaning the play kitchen that has been in "time out" on our porch since the late fall when we tried to bring it out to the living room to play with but the boys only wanted to use for a jungle gym.

Did we mention that a couple weeks ago was the 20 week anatomy scan for the littlest one?  Well, the wee kidlet has decided to be a mystery and kept two stubborn legs together through the entire thing.  So baby number 3 will be a surprise by default.  Just to keep things interesting and remind us who really is in charge here ;-) 

Bowling fun

This week was Ben's preschool field trip bowling.  At first Chris had a hard time waiting patiently. 

Ben rolled the ball and then waited with arms crossed to see how he did.  Thank goodness for the bumpers :)

It was a good time. 

We're looking forward to more outside time this week.  We tried to get out in the sunshine on Friday, only to last a whopping 13 minutes in the wicked wind.  This week should be beautiful :) 

Wearing themselves out

Good night.  :)
