We (myself and the children) headed to the 'couve for Spring break! Brayden rode back with my parents the day before, so it was just us girls on the way there. I have to say, they did a great job! Right after we got out of the tri-cities Ellie said she had to go potty. This is a part of the trip where there is NOTHING for at least 30 miles. I told her she could tinkle in her diaper (I put one on her just for this reason), and she refused. I remembered the baby potty was in the back of the van. I pulled over to the side of the road and let Ellie sit. I was shocked when she went right away! The funny thing was, 2 minutes after heading down the road she said she had to go again! She thought it was great fun! I didn't fall for that trick though.
You can't tell by these pics. but this was during a dance party where we were all shaking our bums. Yes, I took these pics. as I was cruising down the freeway, not too bad huh?
We finally arrived at G & G's and played and played. These are a few shots of the Wii. We don't have one, so the kids were thrilled to shake their bums with G & G.

We made a trip down to Albany to visit Great-Grandma Wagener. It was so nice to see her and play with her and she took all of us out to lunch!
My Aunt told us about a cool craft project. Peel the paper off of crayons, then melt them in the oven and you will have rainbow crayons. It was all going well until we tried to get them out of the pan.....when you first take them out it's a liquid, and if you wait until it's cool it just sticks in the pan. I need to get more detailed info. from her on how to complete that project......
It was fun making it though.
The 'Couve girls! We were all going to go visit our friend Kathy, who had a new baby girl 5 days before, but Kathy's son was sick, so we met at a restaurant instead. We missed you Kathy! Sarah, Jocey, Lindsey, Meghan and me! What fun, it was so nice to sit with the girls and just laugh and chat for hours. It's always fun to see the kids, but way more enjoyable to just hang out as moms/girls!
Thanks girls, it was such a fun night for me!
We also visited two of my friends from college, and hung out with Cousin Sarah, but I didn't take any pics. of those fun activities....I'm so bummed. Thanks everyone for making the time to see us during your busy week! We had so much fun! We'll be back soon.
All the way home it was rain/snow mixed on the roads. Spring break/snow/rain/wind/3 children/ screaming = good times!
He totally FREAKED out my kids (and me for that matter). He's a little scary, don't you think? He also had a carrot with him, which was cute. BUT he also had a huge guy dressed up as a parrot (am I missing something?).
Kent in deep conversation with Ellie and Ally, perhaps strategizing?

Ally and Dani ready to race!
Our friends, Stephanie and Keith and Kent.
Owen freezing, waiting to race! I am used to rain during egg hunts (being from the 'couve and all), but the huge wind storm and 40 degree weather was a bit much. I guess it beats the snow we've had the last couple of years.
Dani still screaming because the Easter bunny was 500 feet away. It would have been much more fun if that dang bunny wasn't wandering around. All in all it was kind of successful. Brayden got about 8 eggs, Ellie got 3-4 and Dani got 0!
