Happy Easter!

We are finally starting to get some nice days! We have had a couple freak 65 degree days in March but then the next few weeks had a snow flurry, some rain, and lots of wind. But this past week it was in the high 40's and sunny every day. This meant that we were finally able to start our siding! We bought it a couple weeks ago and it was in our garage waiting for a good day. Josh was able to get a good chunk done on his three days off this week. I'm really excited to see it done. I think it will look aLOT better. Here is a picture of the progress (the burgundy shutters are going to go!)


Today we had a fun little primary activity with a breakfast and Easter egg hunt. Gabe really had fun. At the end I said, "Okay, the Easter bunny needs to get the eggs back now so he can do this again next year so we need to go give the eggs back to the primary leader." Gabe was like, "Noooo," with a sad face, and I was like, "We have to so we can do it next year!" and so he then sadly walked over to the leader who was holding open a bag and he opened his first egg, took the candy out, and dropped both the egg and the candy into the bag. Then I was like, "No, no, you KEEP the candy!" Then he smiled and it was like, "Oh that's all!? No problem!!!" I was so surprised he was actally going to give up his candy!




Another quick funny Gabe story:
He saw my wedding picture hanging up in our room and he had recently seen a preview for a Sleeping Beauty movie on his Tigger and Pooh Dvd. So it goes like this:
Gabe: "Mommy! You a princess?! Why you turn into a princess?"
Me: "Oh that was before you were born. Yes, I used to be a princess. Now I turned into Cinderella. It goes backwards in real life when you get married and have kids." (haha, sorry to show you I'm that honest with my kids, but it's true!)
Me again: "Are you going to turn into a prince someday when you grow up?"
Gabe: (thinking) "Um, no. I turn into Little Einsteins." (His favorite movie)

So I thought that was pretty funny.

Lastly, a quick Caleb update. He is so relaxed (most of the time.) Gabe was so moody even as a baby. Caleb always has a smile for anyone who looks his way whether it's my grandpa or the Walmart clerk. His only challenging trait is that he's SO busy!!! He wants to be everywhere and always wants to look at something you have or if you are eating he zooms along the couch right next to you, grabs onto your pants, and shakes you till you share. He's kind of like a puppy! So lovable, but sooo into everything! When he walks (soon) I will really have to keep an eye out.


Well that is the update! Happy Easter to you all!
