Can't remember anymore what it was, but there was something the boys just had to see out the window!

Adventures in Kentucky
The boys and I are tagging along with Daddy during a two week business trip to Bowling Green, KY. We decided the boys would rather go along that miss Daddy for that long. Plus this way I still get help with the boys at night.
Some people have had the nerve to call this vacation. Rest assured this is NOT vacation!! Between the sleep deprivation, attempting to childproof a hotel room, entertaining the boys in a SMALL town and just plain old surviving this is the furthest thing from vacation. I fondly remember vacation and it is far more relaxing, involves seeing some fun sights, enjoying good restaurants.... Our last vacation was actually with a child...baby Jack and pregnant with Ewan. Thanks to Oma and Opa we enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Glacier National Park (they took us and Uncle Nick there for Oma's 60th birthday bash). So vacation is possible with kids, it just takes extra help!!! I am so looking forward to our next vacation, again thanks to Oma and Opa (their 40th anniversary bash). Hopefully D3 won't ruin it (just weeks before delivery)!!!
Anyway, we're surviving right now. The boys both got colds shortly after we got here. That means Ewan is coughing at night which means less sleep!! We got a humidifer which helped, but still no real good sleep yet. We're on a totally different schedule too since the boys and I take Daddy to work at 6:30 AM. That means they are getting up earlier than they are used to, also staying up a little later. Needless to say they nap almost right after lunch now!!
We found a fun park and we'll got there again this afternoon. This weekend we'll find some more fun stuff to do with Daddy. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot to do for just me and the boys.
In the meantime it's pure exhaustion and survival mode around here!!!

Easter
We had a fun Easter weekend. The boys enjoyed a visit from their grandparents and had lots of fun.
Jack and Ewan were thrilled the bunny came to visit and were quick to see what was in their baskets. They also enjoyed another egg hunt in their yard. The weather was gorgeous again so we brought out the water table. Both boys had a blast with that!!! They also had fun during a short visit with Oma and Opa.

Egg Hunt
Today the boys had WAY TOO MUCH FUN at their egg hunt with their pals!! It started with hunting eggs, then lunch, more play time, changing clothes and then getting covered in sand! And of course we couldn't end there....Ewan snuck a pb chocolate egg, wrapper and all...so he gagged on the wrapper and drooled all over his "clean" shirt!!!!

Children's Garden
We had some fun this morning at the Children's Garden. I was really hoping to get some other pictures....they have some gorgeous cherry trees in bloom right now. Unfortunately it is part of an experimental orchard and public access is denied. I would have snuck in, but the groundskeepers were working there. Oh well, hopefully some other day!

Silly Goose and Happy Camper
I had every intention of taking the boys to the State House to take pictures today, but after throwing up this morning, dropping a gallon of milk on the kitchen floor and visiting Oma I just didn't have the energy. So here are some shots of the boys with their favorite plates.
Oma brought the plates back from her trip to Seattle. The boys LOVE them, they had to carry them in the car on the way home after Oma gave them to us. If I get them out too soon before the meal they take them off the counter and walk around with them!! Needless to say they are a hit. And they are a hit with Mommy and Daddy too....Oma obeyed the no toys rule!! Yeah Oma. Well she already knew full well that they boys don't need anything.
What can I say, we're just not like most parents. We try to minimize the toys, especially toy clutter. If I see one more stuffed animal I feel like I could rip it apart (and I used to collect them when I was a kid)!!! Oh well, at least Josh and I agree on this issue. The problem now is actually Easter. They really should get something in their baskets but don't NEED anything. Luckily we've come up with a few acceptable ideas.
Ok, that's my toy rant. Sorry I got off on a tangent....can you tell I just cleaned up toys?!
