Easter Eggs

This morning we went to Montgomery Mall for an Easter Family Fun Day.  We met up with some people at MOPS and the boys played in the play area with friends.  We also stood in a long line (which the boys did very well in) and received an Easter craft and Easter Goody Bags with eggs, stickers, and candy.  They each got to spin the wheel for Auntie Anne's pretzels and Kyle won a 99 cent pretzel sticks and Max won a free pretzel.  So we went and redeemed our prizes for lunch!

When we got home the boys were in Easter mode so we decided to dye Easter Eggs.  Max chose a regular kit and Kyle chose a tie dye kit.  Here are some pictures of their work!

Spring Break

This week is Spring Break.  On Monday it snowed.  Unfortunately the weather doesn't allow for much outdoor playground time as I was hoping so we had to find other ways to entertain ourselves.  Two of the highlights of yesterday were making a countdown to Disney World chart and building card houses. 

Happy 8th Birthday Kyle!

Yesterday was Kyle's 8th birthday!  We gave him his present, a Pokemon Elite Trainer Box, a couple days early so he could use it to get ready for the state tournament today.  He loved it!  On the actual day Max and I brought McDonald's and joined him for lunch at school.  I'm not sure who was more excited we were there . . . Kyle, Max, or his friends!  Then we had his party that evening at the Discovery Sports Center with all his friends.  They played dodgeball, had relay races, and ate pizza and cake.  It was a fun time and wore everyone out!  Then we came home and opened presents.  He got lots of pokemon plus some gift cards and a few other fun toys . . . his friends sure do know him well! 

Kyle's family birthday celebration

We celebrated Kyle's 8th birthday a little early with Ma, Pa, and Uncle Mike on Saturday.  There were presents, lunch at Red Robin (Kyle's choice),  playing games, and building legos.  It was a fun day and we were happy to have them here to celebrate with us!

Crazy Hair Day!

This week is spirit week at Kyle's school.  Each day there is a different theme.  Today is "Crazy Hair Day."  Kyle came home yesterday saying he wanted to spray paint his hair different colors.  He was very excited about the idea so I took him to Party City and we got blue, red, and green color hair spray.  He said it tickled when I sprayed it on this morning, but it was "worth it because it looks so awesome!"  Hopefully he's enjoying his day with his crazy hair.  And Max didn't want to be left out so he asked for blue but only on top.  So he'll probably turn some heads at our playdate today :).

Max singing in the shower

Max has been singing in the shower these days.  He didn't know he was being recorded when I took this.  Here he is singing "We got the Beat."  He's quite the little rock star!

Volcano

Ma and Pa got Max a volcano for Christmas.  He had lots of fun building it, painting it, and watching it erupt.  Kyle enjoyed it too!  Here's the video of the action.
