sunshine=parks

We had a day of sunshine and warmer weather last week and boy did we enjoy it!
All the kids wanted to do was play outside at a few parks...
we got to three!

Then we played princesses a bit to end the day off!

Movie night

Family movie night...
the movie must have thrilled the girls as they fell asleep on dad.
David loved it and loved being silly!

a relaxing day

Our last day of vacation week we just relaxed and everyone did something they liked...David and dad spent a lot of time playing Zelda. As you can tell they were mesmerized!

Allison kept these in her ears and danced around most of the morning.

Bridget took a snooze as Zelda wasn't too exciting for her!

A trip to the children's museum

We had February Vacation week and had a lot of fun...on of the only things the kids wanted to do was ride the train into Boston to the Children's museum with some friends.

We ran into some problems when the car started making terrible sounds,
and the mechanic was late to the shop
so we ended up taking the car to another shop in town
and driving into Boston to meet our friends.

We had so much fun playing, having lunch and exploring with thousands of other kids out of school. Our dear sweet friend was willing to take them back on the train as I drove to the train station and picked them up. David was satisfied with that!

Our own little Calvin

David has really gotten into reading comic books...his latest love is Calvin and Hobbes. He came down one morning like this...
he said, "Mom, do I look fat?"
I was trying to figure out what to say when he continued,
"I have on three pair of pants, two sweaters, two shirts, a vest and coat."
My reply, "yep you do look pretty fluffy. What made you think of this?"
"Oh, I am just trying it like Calvin"

Here are all the clothes he had on.

With just one layer on: the skinny picture

He then came down and announced he was going to Mars and convinced Bridget she needed to be an alien princess. They collected a bunch of random things and put them in the wagon and went outside in the backyard...
only to read more comics!
