Sunny Day

It's another beautiful day.  The kids have been outside playing a LOT!

 When these two to lunch, this is how they were dressed!

 I decided to not try to put Widget down for a nap today.  I'm going to let him play til he drops.  Then I found this.  Maybe he's going to drop a lot sooner than I thought!!

Poor Snowman :(



Goofy made a snowman measuring stick earlier this winter.  The poor snowman never even got a chance to measure any snow.  I don't think he's going to either.  :(

Another Picnic at the Park

We have Ryan today and it was supposed to be super warm (and it IS!!)  so we decided we should go to the park for a while after school.  I packed us all some sandwiches and drinks and off we went.

 It was very, very warm out today.  The poor kids were very sweaty.

 Balance beam

 And Widget's version of walking the balance beam!

We played for a little over an hour.  It got extremely too hot to stay much longer.  We ran the air conditioner all the way home to cool off.  The kids came in and sat down for about 10 minutes and they're outside playing again!!

Sunday Morning

We made a quick trip to the Winter Farmer's Market this morning.  I think Rod purchased from almost every vendor!  The kids and I were just going because we heard there was a booth selling hot, fresh made doughnuts!  We left there with the doughnuts, (well, some doughnuts....we had to eat them warm!) pumpkin bread, plain homemade bread, pickles, crab cakes, crab chili, and goat milk cheese!

Rod and Dippy went outside to work on the yard some more.  He's trying to get it all cleaned up so we can add a playground this year for the little guys.  :)

 Rod quit smoking a few months ago. I'm thinking he may have lied a little about that!

 Widget is just not too sure about that big tractor.

 Like the nice hole in the siding of the shed?

 And guess who is the ONLY one who has driven the tractor???  So.....no matter what excuses he gives, I think we ALL know who messed up the siding!!

Lost Pic

This pic accidently got deleted from the other post.  Goofy was trying to follow the directions he was given about posing, and we had told him to hold his smile for when Widget was where he was supposed to be!  That kid NEVER moved his foot.  There was a red light that he was told to stand on.  He was also told to put his hands like that.  He didn't move, but Widget sure as heck did!! 

Pics

We got the kids' pictures taken this evening.  The photographer we had was AWESOME!  She didn't just pose the kids, she let Widget wander around some and took pics here and there, too.  We got some of the best pics!

These are all out of order.  But here's the older two. 

 Just the boys....and Goofy using his fake smile.

 I made the mistake of speaking to Goofy just as she snapped the photo.

 Just the kids

 The photographer was screwing around and got this! 

Windy Day

We went up to DC today.  Rod heard that the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom and Dippy had never been to that park near the airport.  Now, I checked the official cherry blossom website and according to it, the peak seaon this year starts on March 20th.  And guess what......NO cherry blossoms!!  AND...when we went to Gravelly Point Park, it was soooo windy and cold AND the planes weren't coming in over us.  They were leaving over us!  Everyone (except me and Dippy) were complaining about the cold and wind.  So we didn't stay very long. 

 It was very windy!  Look at the hair!!

 Then we TRIED to a nice pic of Rod and the kids.  Notice I said TRIED.  It didn't work.  At all!  Keep your eye on Dippy in the next few pics.

 Now, you can't exactly SEE Dippy.  But his sweatshirt is off to the left side.  Look at Rod's eyes.  It makes me wish I could see what exactly Dippy was doing!!

 Yep.  Dippy is still there!

 Finally, he agreed to be seen.  And blocked out his DAD!!

 He better be more co=operative when we go to the professional!!  And if they would have all stood nicely, we could have skipped going to a studio.

 Dippy's practicing for when he's famous and needs to hide from the paparazzi.

 Run away, little boy.  Run away!
