Cute Story Everyday Moment

The other day I was picking out Jack's clothes while he got undressed. When I turned around, he said, "Look, Mom, I look like Jesus." I had to laugh. Where do they come up with this stuff?

Bird Nests

Jack likes to celebrate every holiday. With today being the first day of spring and Easter on its way, we decided to make some bird nests. 

Jack was very careful to put three eggs in each nest. Occasionally, he tweeted and showed me eggs that were cracking open to let the baby birds out. His imagination is always engaged. 

He had a little predator he had to deal with. Luke had no interest in putting eggs into the nests, but he would snatch an egg at every opportunity and stuff it into his mouth. We decided that he couldn't be a snake because he used his hands to take the eggs, and obviously snakes do not have hands. We decided he must be a raccoon. 

Eventually, Jack decided the best way to deal with the predator was to just sacrifice an egg every time he came around. 

Those sweet little hands have lost their baby fat. 

Birthday Festivities

I got to celebrate my birthday with two of my favorite guys today. John is working in Western Virginia, so he missed out on ice cream with us. He didn't miss out on my present though; he sent me to a hotel on the beach on Saturday night for a little time to myself. It was the best present he could have given me. I realized while I was away that I haven't spent any real time by myself since a year ago when I went on that women's retreat. It was long overdue. 

Discovering What Our City Has To Offer

We are beginning to discover some activities around Hampton Roads that are fun for the kids. This is a nature preserve that is about five minutes from our house. They have walking trails that range in length from 1/4 of a mile to 1 mile. On Saturday, we walked the 1 mile trail that goes around the lake. The boys love physical activity, and John and I love how tired it makes them. :-)
