My TeeBall Player

Every team in the league gets a MLB name and unfortunately we didn't get Royals. This is the cutest Oriole you'll ever see though.

And FYI... half of these poses were completely his idea. #stud

Easter Day

We started the morning off by heading to church at the National Cathedral. It was absolutely beautiful inside and such a cool experience!

 

We then ate our way through a brunch buffet at an Irish Pub which turned out to be delicious! After that it was time for comfy clothes and to look through our baskets.

After nap the kids hunted down some Easter eggs!

Happy Easter!

Easter Eggs

Our egg dying experience this year was probably the worst you could imagine. Dye dumped not once, not twice, but 3 times all over Mimi's nice table despite layers of paper and placemats. We had no vinegar so the colors were bland and eggs were falling all over. I have no idea how my mom had the patience to deal with us doing it as kids and won't be attempting anywhere next year except for outside.

And the kids will be naked.

We did know better than to let Ady dye eggs so she got the sticker sheet!

Except for the spillage, I think the little man enjoyed himself.

And no, there's no pretty 'after' picture like from 2013 since only about 6 eggs ended up surviving the ordeal.

At least I got pictures of Ady's awesome fat little fingers.

And I'll end with some flower shots from last week...

Reston Zoo

More like a glorified petting zoo, this old, tiny "zoo" was less than a 30 minute drive from us. Unlike most zoos, there are a ton of animals you can pet and see up-close and it has a drive through safari like area as well. I'm SO proud of my big boy for touching and feeding any animal including llamas and buffalo! The little one, on the other hand, was quite terrified of most of the animals and preferred to be in someone's arms to see them from afar. #oppositesinsomanyways

Catching Up

Wow. I've officially set a new record for the longest time ever not blogging... 16 days.
Oops

Let's catch up.

We've had some great weather which means a lot more outside time for the kiddos! I try to get out there as much as work will allow and enjoy the nice weather with them!

Drew's been working on mixing up the dirt in his vegetable garden that will be planted with Gramma when she comes into town in a couple of weeks!

Miss Independent is wanting to do her own things more and more. She can almost do her shoes though which is helpful!

But really, she just likes screwing up Drew's baseball diamonds.

They are cute when they run the bases though.

 And the big one has been climbing nonstop. Trees, trees and more trees.
