We had another beautiful day in Rochester today!  I was glad to get out of work and go home to enjoy some outdoor time with the boys!  Alex is a definite "water baby" and was soaked to the bone within minutes!  He stood there purple and freezing (it was only mid-60s and breezy so it seemed cold comparatively!) so I got him all dry and tried to keep him out of the water (ha!) for the rest of our time outside before dinner!

Easter!  We spent Saturday day/night down at camp so on Easter morning, the boys woke up and went outside in the woods to find their Easter baskets.  The weather was beautiful and we had a great time playing outside, roasting marshmallows, riding the "TV" (as Nate calls it!).  It's nice to have a place to go and let the kids roam "free".

Dave headed down to camp on Friday night and the next morning we were supposed to join Tiffany and Brie for some Easter Festival fun before heading down to join him for an overnight.  That morning Nathaniel was up by 6:30, dressed within 15 minutes, and chomping at the bit to get going.  At 8:30 I went to look for him and found him sitting, buckled into his carseat, in the car waiting for me to be ready to leave.  The Easter festivities weren't supposed to start until 1:00 PM so I didn't see that happening.  I canceled on Tiff and Brie and got to throwing some stuff together for the trip.  I told Nathaniel he would have to wait but if he wanted to leave that badly, we'd hit the road.  He patiently sat in the car for almost an hour and a half while I threw stuff together and finished up some things so we could go.

Dave and the boys picked me up at work today and we went over to Cobbs Hill for lunch.  We got hot dogs at the street vendor and let the kids run on the playground.  The weather was gorgeous - sun and 70s.  It was great to get out of the office!!  Nathaniel wanted to come into work with me when we left the playground and when he found out he couldn't he wouldn't give me a kiss goodbye.  Instead he yelled, "Good BYE, mean KNUCKLEHEAD!"  I think he was mad at me!

That night we went to Melon Bean to meet up with Tiff & Brie.  I snapped this photo of Bug just before we left.  He's clutching his beloved "Bolt" (who is FILTHY right now from being dragged around on his "leash"!) and looks so grown up!  If you look closely you can still see remnants of the whiskers he had drawn on his face at school for his Easter celebration!  He asked me, "Mommy, do these whiskers make me look silly?"  I told him he looked very handsome but when it came time to meet his precious Brie, he was found scrubbing them off in the bathroom because he "didn't want to look silly for Brie".  Awww.....

Back on the bandwagon..

Ok, so this catching up thing isn't working very well so here's what I've decided to do...I will start today (no joke!) and move forward day-to-day...as time allows I will back-fill for my journaling needs.  It seems the longer I wait to try and catch up the harder it is to get up to date and the gap is widening daily.  Therefore, starting tonight I will pick up from today and catch up as I go...at least that's something.  Thanks for bearing with me!
