I love how even Felicity is helping!
Here's what it looked like when we finished. The center dark part will hopefully be grass.... I've never planted grass seed, so we'll see! And there'll be lots more flowers that will fill in and show up over the next few months, too. I can't wait!
I brought back some tiger lilies from Easter break at my parents house, and got those transplanted into our side yard this morning. I LOVE digging in the dirt! The daffodils and tulips and grape hyacinths etc toward the right were bulbs we planted on my birthday this past fall. (Thanks Chris and Karen!) They're beautiful!
This would be the mess that Gary made the other day with a huge container of Nesquik! It sure made the house smell nice, though! You can't really tell from the picture, but that pile is really high... it had been nearly full. It was all over Felicity and Gary.
This is at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola down in Columbus circle. One of the ensembles that Ben is in -- the Afro-Cuban Ensemble, performed there this past week. It was great!
On one of the last days of Easter break, I took the kids down to see The Little Red Lighthouse. It's right under the manhattan side of the George Washington Bridge. They loved it!
Gary was there, too, but he didn't want to be in the picture. He preferred to watch the camera.
Coloring eggs at Nana and Grandpa's house...
Ben and his brother John playing at Eastman School of Music for John's senior recital!
Pardon the mess behind it, but here's our egg filled lamp for Easter.
The boys had a day off of school and we moved the couched to clean under and behind them -- well, that was perfect for a blanket fort! 18 blankets when all was said and done.
Gary lined up all his cars and insisted that we take a picture!
Felicity enjoyed hers, too!
Nathan certainly enjoyed his!
Look how much happier she is with an ice cream cone in each hand! Gary got tired of his, and somehow, Felicity ended up with it. (I'm still not quite sure how that happened!)
Hunter and I enjoyed ours too, don't worry!
This is our St. Patrick's Day cake we made. The boys had a blast decorating it! We gave it to some neighbors who are from Ireland. They loved it!
Hunter visited the 4th grader's Native American studies exhibit and was thoroughly inspired by the bow and arrows. You can guess what he made as soon as he got home!
