Garbage Trucks

Griffin and Holden have a love/hate relationship with garbage trucks.  Every week they FREAK out when they hear them and then do not want to look away as they automatically pick up the can and up it goes, out comes the trash and back down goes the can all while "the guy" never even has to get out of the truck.  And to top it all off three trucks come by  - garbage, recycling and green waste.  It keeps us busy.

This week while Papa & D were out of town Snappy had a spend-the-night party with E, G & H at our house.  Guess what?  It was garbage day over here too!  There was great comfort in watching from an upstairs window.

That is a serious case of bed head Mr. H!

Easter Training

Finally all that No Peeking was over the they were off.  

We are going to be so ready for Easter Egg Hunting when the real day arrives.

(p.s. All this egg hunting makes me miss you Sadie, the egg hunt hound and you even more Jacob, who loved a good egg hunt more than any boy I ever saw.)

Who said No Peeking?

C took it seriously.

 K didn't even know what it meant and it didn't matter because he did not have much of a chance to get to the eggs first anyway.

 And G?  Once he knew there was going to be a treat in there, he was watching like a hawk.

No Peeking Holden

Another practice egg hunt - the boys are sent to hide their eyes.  No PEEKING Holden.

So serious.  Don't you love those dirty gardening hands all over that sweet face?

Keagie Pops II

While doing a little posting, I found these from last week and couldn't resist posting this blue eyed boy and his three amigos.

Tree Time

Yikes - I am not sure I am ready for tree climbing.  For now it is one strong and serious boy who knows how to hang ALL BY HIMSELF.

 Now, wait just one minute Keagan - you are too little to look so happy sitting up there by yourself.

 And G could not take the grin off his face.

Oh tree time.  I hope you are not followed by ER time.

Mr. Macgregor's garden

It is time to get thinking about planting.  Everyone is here to help. Griffin is on worm patrol.

 Love that K is totally in on the fun these days!

Keagie Pops

His mama calls him Keagie Pops and I don't think this is why but this boy does love a Popciscle.

And while everyone is watching K Holden says "more please"

Toasted Peeps

We had a fire going and a new box of Peeps.  Why not try to roast one?

There were skeptical looks all around.

 A Peep on FIRE!

 He still looks skeptical.  He didn't really like it before it was toasted and I don't think I convinced him that this was any better.

Papa's Home!

A little play time after Papa gets home and then...

It is time to build a fire.  How many helpers do you think Papa needs?

Hunt Practice

After naps the Humms arrived and we had a little Easter Egg hunting practice in the house.

K knew what to do.

G wanted to know why they were all empty.  Apparently his mama has been letting them practice with teddy grahams inside.

H gives everyone a run for their money.

But it is C who is a man on a mission.

" Hey wait guys - I only got two."

 "You want me to slow down?  No way!"
