Easter Time 1.0

 For Easter at Dad's house we had a Easter egg hunt and dyed Easter Eggs.  As usual the kids got way too much candy and had way too much fun...wait you can't have too much fun!  Well, they did get too much candy.  Eli and Nathan found the 2 golden eggs.  Nathan was so excited so Eli was too.

Dad did a good job planning his first Easter egg hunt on his own.  Good thing he had Stacy to help him.

Quilt Camp

My aunts Jane and Gaylene hosted a quilt camp for any one who wanted to come.  It was so much fun. They did so much to prepare for this fun event. They made us bags with our names embroidered on them and they chucked them full of notions. There were prizes and I won an awesome apron.  We finished a quilt in 2 days!  That's really good!!! I wish I had a picture of my final quilt all finished. But here are some pictures of the whole process and everyone who was there! :)  

Extreme Makeover-Bedroom Addition

Since having Knox we have had some bedroom swapping.  First, Eli and Knox shared a room.  Then we moved Knox downstairs because Eli was keeping Knox awake. Then the squeaky floors were keeping Knox awake during the day so I started brainwashing Eli into wanting to move downstairs. Stewart and I decided to do a room makeover in the hopes that Eli would not be too scared to sleep down there.  We sent Eli to Stacy's house so that we could surprise Eli with a brand new room.  

Before.  In the process of moving out

 White walls and no curtains.

 After!  It's so cheery and happy.  We put some fun quotes on the wall from the Harry Potter books. I sewed some curtains and we made a nice little area for homework (yeah right.)

I think it turned out so cozy and nice.  Eli was really excited and liked his new room.  I was proud of Stewart and me for getting so much done in just a few days.

High Aspirations.

Eli has really started thinking and planning for his future.  Right now his goal in life is to become a hobo.  He created this awesome camp and sleeps in it pretty exclusively.  Eli has put a lot of effort into making it and it's pretty hilarious. I can't wait until I can destroy it but I do admire his creativity. :)

KNaughty KNox

Knox likes to cause a lot of trouble.  He has really loved being able to use the walker.  His favorite thing is to get into the garbage.  I used to think that he was wondering aimlessly until I realized that no matter where I put the garbage can he could get over to it.  He has also really liked the freedom of moving around.  He is free to go wherever but mostly he likes to stay right under my feet. :)

Knox's first really naughty thing was to rip up this magazine.  He wasn't ashamed at all of his bad behavior and instead hammed it up for the camera.  Luckily, I can't stay mad at a face like that.
