Some things never change

I love checking in on the kids before I head to bed. It is so sweet to just watch them sleeping. I always smile when I walk into Emmeline's room. Some things never change... 

She is probably going to hate me when she is a teen, but how sweet is it that she still sleeps with her arms up and out like that?!?! I love hrs to pieces!

Easter Bonnets

A few burned finger tips later and these cuties are ready for the big egg hunt and parade! They are so cute and thought it was so fun they were going to have matching hats. 

Tomorrow I get to tackle the boys' hats. I'm thinking it's not going to be as easy with them. 

Fun with Friends

Today was bring a friend free day at 6 Flags and we brought 3 friends. We lucked out and got to bring our older buddies Noah, Hannah, and Mea. Let me tell you it was the best visit EVER! Chris and I got to sit out of all the dizzy kid rides and the older kids wanted to push the strollers the whole day! It was FANTASTIC! The kids had so much fun with them. If season passes weren't so much and we don't all fit in one car I would consider buying them season passes. 

Mother knows best

We have been super busy this week getting ready for Easter celebrations. After a fun day of parties and lunch I had a little conversation with Jackson that went like this... 

Me: hey Jack, why don't you lay down for  a nap while I finish homework with Em and Caden. 

Jackson: I'm not sleepy. 

Me: really? You look like you could use one. 

After working on homework for about 20 minutes and it being way too silent I walk out to find this. 

Yep, Jack you weren't tired at all! 

Nap time

I should have known that napping two days in a row for more than 2 hours was too good to be true. Naps are few and far between at our house. It's so sad that the cherished nap time at our house is over. Looks like the cold/allergies has claimed another victim. He looks so sweet napping.

As sweet as he looks I'm going to be dreading bedtime when he is wide awake from napping. Let's hope he wakes up feeling great and that an allergy pull will help him get over this. 

Dropping like flies

We have gone from one coughing kid to anither one having an asthma attack and a persistent cough which then turned into  a nasty sinus infection to the last healthy one up at night coughing and another kid with a possible sinus infection. It sounds like an orchestra of coughing and snoring around here. The only bonus is the early to bed for all of them and they don't fight us on it. I have a feeling it's going to be a long nasty allergy season. 

Surprise number 2 and 3

We checked out of the coolest hotel ever, finished day two of legoland, and loaded the kids up fir surprise number two! We pulled into Paraduse Pier on a drizzly Sunday evening. It took the kids a little bit to put it all together, but soon they realized where we were going! We unloaded in our room and surprise number 3 came and knocked on our door. The kids had no idea Nonie and Papa had flown down to go to Disneyland with us. They were sooo excited when they saw them and we were so excited Nonie and Papa had an upgraded room so we could watch the awesome firework show from their room.

We headed to bed so we could  be up and at them early to get into CA Adventure!
