I just could not leave the Museum without checking out the Barbie Exhibit...and of course pretending to pose like Barbie- me and 9oo other 7 year old girls! Oh how I loved Barbies

My boys and their machines


Precious!
Travis and I are exhausted. This weekend has been jammed packed with Family Fun!! Although extremely enjoyable, it is also quite tiring! The weekend ended with a FREE trip to the Children's Museum. The boys had a great time and Caleb especially enjoyed the Bob the Builder Exhibit. However, when we neared the Dinosaur exhibit Caleb was so fearful and we ended up leaving shortly after becauses Caleb was so shaken. On the way home he said, "The dinosaur has big teeth to bite me!" Poor guy, I prayed over him before laying him down tonight- praying for the mind of Christ!

Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;Death is strong, but Life is stronger;Stronger than the dark, the light;Stronger than the wrong, the right...~Phillips Brooks, "An Easter Carol"
Have a blessed Easter!


Travis and I have been thinking about ways to teach our boys about the Cross and the many sacrifices Jesus completed for us. We have several new traditions that we have started this year and hope that they continue in the years to come. One tradition remember growing up was when my mom required us girls to stay in our rooms on Good Friday from 12-3 and read a "Christian" book or the Bible as we reflected on what occurred at the Cross. After the three hours of quiet time we were permitted to watch the movie, "Jesus." I remember feeling that three hours was a longggg time but when I put it into perspective- it wasn't.
Goodnight blogger world, we've several Eggtastic events tomorrow that will require me to be on top of my game as I keep track of two boys, 1,000's of eggs, and potty training 2 year olds [today at Easy Acre Farm Caleb had to go potty so be started to pull his pants down in the middle of the rabbits' coop!]


Spring Fun Fun!

Oh that face....I literally miss him when he goes down for his naps! :) He's the sweetest!

When your the best of friends...spending so much time together [W. The Pooh Song]
Due to an increase in their serotonin levels, the boys have been so happy and good! Caleb is a new man once he hits that open air. We are talking obedient, kind, gentle, and compassionate! Typically, after breakfast I open the door and out he runs. He is so imaginative in his play and I get a kick out of the things he comes up with. Today I heard him in his toy house saying, "Mom, I'm making you some Cream of Wheat and it's HOT!" Didn't want any lawsuits on his hands.
