Yesterday I got the kids some glasses frames from Target for $1 each and the kids loved them! What a cheap, easy way to dress up, and it turned out to be a total nerdfest but adorable.

Today was SUPER busy, Carolyn and I took the kids into Seattle to the Pacific Science Center to “Grossology” Basically it was a tour of the human body in kid science language and displays focusing on belches, nasty smells, snot, and other foul things our bodies can do. Needlesstosay, the kids loved it. They got to climb up the scab/blister/wart wall, slide down the esophogus into the stomach and crawl through the intestines and more. There were a few minor meltdowns but all in all they had a good time. Went on a speed shopping trip to IKEA afterward, seriously we got the kids checked into the play area and we sped through and realized we had to be on the 4:40 boat and ran to the checkout and got down to the boat. Not so relaxing to have kids running out to the van in their socks because we can’t waste a minute putting on their shoes. I need to go back and really “do” IKEA, love that place.

Joe and Stefanie brought a great dinner over tonight, what a treat! Its always nice to not have to cook, especially after such a busy day. Dee had to work late, but took a break to eat with us so that was nice. Got the boys to bed with just a little fuss and fingers are crossed they give us a break tonight and just sleep.

Well, it’s Spring Break and all the kids are home all day to play, yippee! We’ve had fun day #1. We played with trains (we got some new fancy pieces so we could make much better tracks). We also fed the neighbors chickens and tried to chase them around the yard but the boys wouldn’t let them get far enough out of the cage and kept running them back into their pen. We did 3-D easter egg cutouts most of the morning yesterday and even ran around outside some after nap, too. Carlos got to go to “noodles and meat” with Nana and Papa, his favorite.
The day ended with this beautiful rainbow right in front of Seattle, gorgeous!
Oh, and here’s a link to Trey having a meltdown. As some don’t believe that sweet, smiling baby Trey has a temper…here is your proof.
