Amazing April!

Or I could have also titled this post, "Taking pictures of five children under the age of 9 isn't as easy as one might think!" :) Just for fun, here they are...none turned out as I imagined or hoped, but priceless memories, none the less.






Then I resorted to what worked last year...not so well for 2010...


We enjoyed our first lunch outside on Friday, April 24, 2010! The weather has been spectacular, although the grass could use a little rain.

Ah yeah, here's how you can get five kids to sit still for a picture! :)

Wyatt's Really Hard Week

Monday morning, Wyatt's bad cold turned into a day of hard breathing. Asthma. Great.



Wednesday morning, Wyatt fell off the stairs (over the side) and into the open wooden toy box. It looks bad, but apperantly there shouldn't be any scarring.

Thursday morning, and the right side of his face was quite swollen. I ended up in the ER with Wyatt (and Natalee) for a 2 hour visit and everything is good! No cause for concern.


Sunday morning, I went to get Wyatt from bed...only to find him sick. He threw up a couple of times but seems to be on the mend. He's very tired and a bit of a fever this evening, but nothing unusual from what we've experienced with our other children when they've had the gastro virus. I took a picture of him sleeping on the mainfloor on the "Spider" coach. You can see the yellow bruising on his cheek. The scab has come off of his cheek and it looks so much better.


Hopefully Wyatt will have a better week this week...

Easter

Good Friday, and Caleb and Joshua are fighting. I had this great idea to separate them...and then I gave Joshua an assignment. Build three crosses with Lego. This is what he came up with! I was very impressed! Joshua's is below.

Caleb was not to be outdone and built the top one. I'm still getting used to this order of loading pictures on Blogger...

Spring Break

Oh the joys of having a non-walker in spring!

At least HE had fun while he was outside. The gravel apparently tastes really good! :)

We spent Wednesday night at the Victoria Inn. Here we are enjoying our "picnic" in our hotel room in order to maximize our pool time.

We had subs from home and each of the boys got to pick a special "treat" that we also made. Caleb asked for O'Henry bar, Joshua wanted Reese's bar and Andrew...
Andrew chose monster cookies. They were really yummy! Natalee? Well, she got chocolate chip banana bread for breakfast!
