Sunshiny Day

The sun is finally out!!!!!! It has been raining since Sunday, so we were so grateful for sunshine today! It feels great out too, its 70 degrees, amazing weather! The sun actually came out yesterday late afternoon. So we walked to the library and picked out some new books and a few movies. Of course we got one of Mason's all time favorite books, Green Eggs and Ham. He loves Dr Seuss!

We got quite a few other books too. Mason picked out Curious George 2, Flushed Away, and Horton Hears a Who out for his movies. On our way home we swung by the thrift store. We found a few things. Mason got a Little Peoples dump truck and a Thomas cup. I found a cute little fisher price farm car for Dylan. you push down on the cow and it rolls and plays music. Today I took the boys outside to the playground, since the weather was so nice out. I tried to get a few pictures of Mason for his 4 year old pictures. He was a little grumpy at first as you can see-lol! I eventually got a smile out of him though.
Not so happy here

Finally a smile

I'm going to get you

Trying to get a picture of the 3 of us, but as you can see Dylan didn't want to cooperate-lol!

Mason found this flower on the ground. He thought it looked like the flower from Horton Hears a Who. So he carried it very carefully upstairs, and of course wanted to watch the movie then-lol!

Well I hope everyone is having beautiful weather like we are, happy Thursday!

Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures from the last few weeks. There of the kids at Buffalo Park, outside playing, and of Mason's birthday the other day. Buffalo Park is a huge area with trails, playgrounds, and they have some animals you can feed too. We took Mason bowling and had pizza on his birthday. He loves going! I cant believe he's 4 years old now! Were having his party this weekend, so I'll have lots of pictures of that. Well, enjoy!

What A Day......

So yesterday was a long day. Dylan woke up in a mood let me tell you-lol! I'm not used to that, because he always wakes up so happy and easy going. So our morning started out rough. Between Dylan screaming and crying and Mason whining every 2 seconds, I managed to finally get breakfast ready. I thought that might have been Dylan's problem, but nope, the fits continued-lol! So I decided why not let them finger paint, we haven't done that in awhile. That did help for a little while. Dylan seemed happy rubbing the paint around on his paper. He tried a taste of it a few times too, thank god its non-toxic-lol! So I got lunch ready a little earlier than usual so I could lay Dylan down earlier for a nap-lol! I was ready for a break! Well that lasted all 20-30 min. I couldn't believe that's all he slept for. He usually takes a 2-2 1/2 hour nap. So the peace and quiet was very short lived at my house-lol! It doesn't help either that it has been raining for the past few days and is going to till this weekend blah.............. I hate rainy days. Mason just goes crazy it seems when we cant get out, but who can blame him. So most of yesterday was spent Mason running around like crazy in circles and Dylan having a fit-lol! Lets just say I was so glad when bedtime came around finally. Although, bedtime didn't go so smoothly either-lol! The day wasn't all awful, we did have a few fun moments, but they just seemed few and far between-lol! It made me think of a quote, "God grant me patience to deal with my blessings"-lol! I sure needed it! Well at least today is going much better! Here are a few pictures from yesterday, enjoy!
