EASTER BREAK!!

James, Tyler, and Logan built this awesome snowman! We had such a great afternoon having snowball fights (James and Logan against Ty and me- guess who made up the teams! ha ha) Needless to say, if you've seen the movie Elf you will have an idea of how quickly James made and threw snowballs. I was in for it from the beginning. Tyler ended up swinging most of the time, unless James was pulling the sled, in which case he wanted in. :-) We're hoping it was our last snowfall of the season!


Here's the fam at Easter. We got to go visit my parents in Illinois and we had a BLAST! Check out the huge tummy on Mama- I have certainly let myself go... ha ha ha OR we can look on the bright side and think- man, when she was pregnant with twins she was already full-term size at this point!


This is one of many of Logan's creations during the Easter holiday break. It is a picture of R2D2 for those of you who don't recognize a Star Wars hero when you see one. Logan LOVES Star Wars- he's very proud of his brother Luke Skywalker (his choice character when he plays Lego StarWars with Daddy), unless he's in the mood to be Obi Wan (or Obi Two as Logan's said once or twice...). One of his proudest moments this break was when he was able to buy something with all the money he'd saved up. He bought mini dinosaurs, binoculars, and a green light saber. Way to go Logan!



Here are my men coloring Easter eggs! We had a blast- even if it was a couple days after Easter. :-)


This is the proud Champion of the family Svilking contest. Yes, I beat everyone with my lovely egg. If you look closely, you can see my design- it says, "Cari + (picture of a crown and a wand to represent Baby Girl)"

If you're wondering about svilking, it's when you each choose your prize egg and have to hit it against someone elses prize egg. The winner is the one with the uncracked egg. You can see a video below- the boys continued playing until they had cracked every egg we had colored. We had such a great visit!!

Happy Easter a few days late! Congrats, Cari, on the prize egg. I love Logan's R2D2, children's art is the best! Will likes Star Wars and has a green "light saver" too.
