Spring Time in Kansas

Once again I am behind on sharing pictures.  We've been busy and loving some of the beautiful weather lately.  Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks and they show pretty well a few of the things we have been REALLY INTO lately.

first off, we still love the broken down old park in our neighborhood.  Might be falling apart...but the pea-rocks make it incredible.





The kids are also really into doing trains down the slide.  Dommy loves just being part of something with the big kids.




Lately we have also gotten way into perler beads, or as we call them, melty beads.  We made this crucifix, Gus made a Darth Vader for show and tell and nearly every day Gus sits down to design yet another robot holding a light saber. 



We've had a couple of rainy days, so the kids are also really into mud right now.  But, who can blame them?



Oh, and sidewalk calk.  Gus loves drawing intricate maps on the cement out back.


More than anything, we are into swinging.  Oh my.  Mom spends hours every day pushing them on our swings...can't wait until at least one of them learns how to pump....


Lately Dom has become a little bookworm, rivaling his brother.
Thanks to Grandma, the kids love to watercolor.  We worked on these last week and they are up on our mantle for Holy Week.  Turned out really pretty.




We spent the weekend on base with my sister and her 4 kids.  It was Therese's 8th birthday.  We also celebrated Bill's Birthday, which is today.  We had a blast.  The kids love their cousins.  They also love dressing up and all things boy--guns, swords, star wars, legos, etc.

Dom put this get-up together all on his own and he walked around like this for an hour.  Killed me.






Bernadette was thrilled to be with Therese.

another gangster spotting.

Bernadette and her Patchy.  They get along so well!  Which is a big change from a couple of years ago when all she would do was bite him.


And finally, here's the whole crew.

We are back home now, doing some Holy Week penance and getting things pulled together for Easter.

All the best!
Nancy and crew
