Windmill Construction

My husbands company finally put up their windmill. You wouldn't believe how long it has taken. It's been at least 3-4 years in the making. They had to put up a test windmill for a year to make sure there would be enough wind and then the electric company put up all kinds of red tape because it's going to produce a third more energy then the company uses and the town will be buying it from them. Obviously, the electric company didn't like the idea of it cutting into their profits. My husband said it should pay for itself in 5 years.
So from now on when your coming home on the pike keep your eyes open for the giant windmill.

Prepare for picture overload...

Easter

Here's the boys baskets.



and the babies


The boys searching for eggs.


The babies in "the cage" wearing their new hats and shades. Taryn has already lost the hat and broken the sunglasses.


I tried to get a shoot of all 4 of them and this is the only one were you can see everyone's face.


Then, I tried to get one with the shades on.


It didn't go so well!

Homemade bath paint

This morning I colored some shaving cream with food coloring and let the boys paint a masterpiece in the bathtub. It's one of Micah's favorite activities. He could spend hours playing in there. Unfortunately, I've now got a mini afro going after sitting in the steamy bathroom all morning while they played.

A day at the park!

We finally had a break in the rain so I took the boys to a near by school playground. They had a blast and Kaden had a good time peeking in the windows of the school he'll attend in the fall.

Painting with sponges

Painting is always a favorite in our house but my kids hate to get it on their hands (I know, their not your typical boys). So, I made some sponge shapes and attached paper clips as handles. It worked pretty well but if I do it again I'll use larger sponges.



I completely forgot to take a picture of their creations. Sorry!

Rainy day fun

Lately it's been cold and rainy. So, the other day I filled up the sink and handed the kids some measuring cups and spoons and let them go to town. Kaden wasn't that into it but Micah loved it, he must have played for at least an hour.

Pom-poms instead of Easter grass

I don't know about anyone else but I HATE Easter grass! Last year I swore up in down I was not going to buy it but, when I put the kids baskets together they just didn't look right. At the last minute I ran out and bought some. Of course, I spent the next month cleaning it up. So, this year I decided to use pom-poms from the dollar store instead. That way I don't have the mess and they have an extra toy in their basket!


See, you can't even tell!
