Micah built a set of stairs from the garage to the house a couple of weekends ago. That was nice. It was really getting tough to bring the groceries in by climbing up the ladder with my ever growing belly! Speaking of which, this pregnancy does seem to be the easiest so far. While I am often tired out from chasing the boys around all day, I can't complain to much about feeling sick or achy all that often.
Oh the boys, they are something else!
Spring will not come quick enough, and even as it makes its' way in slowly but surely, there is this thing called mud. The past couple of times I have taken the boys out to play, Levi and Caleb both head straight for the mud puddles. So, this past week when I was in town I bought each of the boys a pair of mud boots. We raced home to give them a try and boy were they a success!! So much so that when we came in to get ready for their nap time, it was a total melt down because they had to take off their boots and couldn't wear them to bed! I will post a couple of pictures for you to see. (Caleb is holding an umbrella on this perfectly sunny day because he didn't like having the water droplets that fall from the roof hit him in the head as he went in and out of the garage.)
Yes, I even bought myself a pair of mud boots! I figured since I can't stop them, I may as well join them!
At church on Easter Sunday, the kids made easter baskets in their sunday school time and each got just a few plastic eggs filled with candy. All the baskets were placed on a table so that parents could pick them up on their way out. Levi however sat right down at the table and quickly devoured ALL of his candy. Then, he moved on to his brothers', the neighbor boys', and soon had nearly ALL of the eggs empty! What a stinker! He was grinning ear to ear! We eventually realized what he was doing and put up all the baskets and their eggs much to his dismay. That didn't stop him. He quickly disappeared into another classroom where he found a plastic bin full of suckers. By the time I found him, he had two empty sucker sticks in his hands and drool running down his shirt! What a monkey!!
One morning when Micah was making eggs for breakfast, Caleb was sitting nearby and said to him, "Dad, if you give me some cheese, I'll be your best friend!" We both started laughing!
Other then that, we had the chance to go to a water park with the kids at a local hotel. That was really fun! They both did great! Levi liked the hot tub the best, as it kept him the warmest. They both also enjoyed the Lazy River!
I will post a few other pictures for you. Some of the boys hunting for easter eggs in our living room, and others of them just being silly. Hope your day is blessed.
Levi on the hunt!
Caleb on the hunt!
Now if I can just get this thing open!
Score!
Score, a second time!!

You never told me you had a blog!!!! I will actually have to read it when I have some time.
Perhaps if you had left me a comment instead of secretly stalking my site I would have known!:)
When it finally warms up and school ends hopefully we will see each other in person more often and not only in blog land!
I have to hear more from the "Toftness Times"! I enjoy reading you blog but you should post more! I don't doubt, though, that you are probably pretty tired by the end of the day. Anyway, just wanted to say I enjoy reading the blog.
