spring has sprung...

SPRING BREAK!!!!!...
...started with a trip to the Air Force Museum.
(they're so thrilled to be having their picture taken!)





We almost made it through the museum without incident.
Before heading home we visited the (large) restrooms. While the boys waited, Lizzie and I went into the ladies room...not two minutes later a certain 5 year old reached his hand inside the door and turned out the light. PITCH BLACK.
Wonderful.
We weren't the only people in there, either.
Once we found our way out, Matt & Zach were having a hay day pushing each other around in the stroller...off-road style.
Next time they are ALL accompanying me to the ladies room. Embarrassed, or not.
Next, the park!!
Thank goodness for a beautiful day. Finally!!
Lizzie has asked to go to the park every day this Winter. She finally got her wish and she was so happy!


They all crashed into bed tonight! Round two tomorrow!!

Lizzie's red jacket is my favorite part of this entire post.

At least you didn't knock Sam's lights out. Good job!There's always tomorrow.

You should have called us. The boys are off track for 2 more weeks. I heard that museum is pretty cool!

I always make Jax come with me to the bathroom.

Poor 6 year old that looks like a 10 year old HATES IT.

That is hilarious that he turned out the lights! That is something my Jax would do too...

Oh, and the necklace? Big, beautiful, green beads. You can't miss it. It was the first thing I saw when I walked in the boutique.

Start an investigation. :)

I love Lizzie's jacket! Cute pictures! I am so glad it is warm enough to take the kids to the park too!

We are on Spring Break, too! I feel so close to you, now.

I think the fact that a certian 5 year old turned out the lights is kind of funny...well...I guess because it didn't happen to me...

I love the pictures! Especially the action shot of Lizzie going down the slide!

I love the well placed red bow in your girl's hair. Does she ever have a hair out of place?? So cute.

I am longing for some spring like weather. Today we had our usual Northwest April gray gloom.
