Soooo, what took you so long?

I realize that I haven't been posting to the blog enough, but it's been crazy busy around here for MONTHS.  I'm exhausted every night and have no time to blog.  Jared and I don't even have time for tv and the DVR is all backed up.  Here are a few of the random things we've been up to:

We all got a weird cold which started with slightly pink eyes.  It wasn't pink-eye, they weren't itchy and goopy, just pink.  We all got it and it took us all out for a couple weeks.  There were also a couple of pukes by Jack and Annie, and other various sicknesses, typical late winter blahs.  Here's Annie with it, but she doesn't seem to sad.

This picture cracks me up.  These are little snot marks that Annie leaves everywhere, like little snake bites all over the house.

We made bird balls with some rancid peanut butter.  Note to everyone, peanut butter is not good for food storage.  The birds liked it, though.  We love our backyard birds.

Playing in the mud puddle.

Slinky.  She puts it in her mouth and shakes her head back and forth, it's pretty cute.

We made green eggs and ham as per Jack's request.  It actually looks pretty gross.

Valentimes day was great.  Lily made super hero sucker valentines for her class, they were super cute.

Here's some awesome cookies we made.  The kids REALLY like sprinkles, you can't tell, but they're like 1/2 inch thick.

I took a photography class with Sunny for a month.  We both got the same awesome camera and needed to learn how to use it.  It was a great time and a learned a little.  Here's my favorite picture from the class assignments.

We went to a free day at the zoo.  It had been awhile and it was a good time.  They are growling in this picture, in case you can't tell.

We went to a free concert at the local PBS channel.  It was Steve Songs, if you watch PBS kids.  They had some cool crafts and games and then the concert which the kids liked, it was a good time.

We went ice skating for one of Lily's date nights.  It was hard, but she did a great job and loved it.

The biggest time sucks deserve their own posts. You've seen the posts for all three birthdays, but there's  also our big remodel project, Jared's trip to DC, my trip to Denver, my chicken coop.  Those posts will be coming soon.

Best of all of these things is just the day to day fun that we have.   Our days are busy and by the end of the day the kids are not done playing.  I'm excited for summer and a time when we can finally be bored.
