Matt was out of school for Good Friday so Thursday night we went camping with some friends. On Friday we went to the park to play. Zack and Maddie enjoying the swings. Zack still needs to learn that when he is done he needs to tell you instead of just letting go. This is what happens when you let go while still swinging. He ate some dirt long with it. It looked a lot worse yesterday when it happened.
Zack was getting a little shabby on top and he kept waking up with bed head. So Amy asked him if he wanted his hair cut. He said yes and held still for the most part. He loves to eat the comb and hair clips while it is getting done.
We finally got the nursery painted. The easy part was the painting. We painted the light blue color. It then took Amy 8 hours to tape the room so we could paint the darker blue stripes. We like it and think it turned out really cute. But Amy said we are not doing vertical stripes anytime soon, at least not in such a large room.
We were going to one of Matt's coworker's wedding. Zack decided that he needed to wear Mr. Potato Head's glasses. This is how he sometimes likes to watch movies. Zack uses Amy as a jungle gym. As you can see, he loves it. Zack is the biggest helper. He pushes the car out of the garage so Amy can go to work. Zack trying a new fashion statement. He is wearing Amy's head bands as a belt and a necklace.
Zack wearing his daddy's hat. Then he thinks he needs to see the camera and either look at the pictures or take a few himself. Wearing his sun glasses. He has never really liked to wear them the way they are intended. Oh well. He has fun with them.
We got to have fun on the farm. They give you a basket and you get to pretend to do farm chores. You feed chickens and gather eggs. Then you plant veggies and get to harvest them. You also get to milk a cow and sheer a sheep. After you are done with all your chores you sell all your stuff for money. At the end you can buy a snack at the store. Zack bought a box of raisins. It was a lot of fun. Baby pot-bellied pig Wallabies Deer
We went to the rodeo this year. We thought that Zack would really like it. He loved seeing all the animals. He was a little hesitant at first in the petting zoo. After about 5-10 minutes, he was just fine and walked around petting everything.
Zack fell asleep on the couch with Amy and then decided that he needed more room. So he moved to the floor. Matt was on the other couch asleep also. This is another Sunday that Zack fell asleep on the couch with Amy.
I do not think ice cream can be too good for turtles, but Box decided to give it a try. Matt puts down a spoon full or two for Kit and Tornado. This time Box decided he needed some too. "Help I have fallen and cannot get up." Box loves to drink out of the kitty water dishes. He must have fallen off.
Chunky enjoying a nap. They love when you open the windows and let in the fresh air. Really, they just want to go outside. You can see Oreo outside in the flower bed. They take over the bed during the day.
Matt is running as much as ever. His goal is to never take a day off running ever again. He is looking forward to the end of school and the joys of being off and staying home with the family.
Amy is working and taking care of the kids. She has recently found out the joys of making stuff out of wood. She has come up with a few projects for things around the house.
Zack is loving school and all the learning he is doing. He can almost read a whole level one reader by himself. He does great with his sight words but has also learned how to sound out words as long as they are 3-4 letters long.
Drew misses Zack when he is at school but also enjoys being the boss when he is not around. Drew and Lena play together all the time and get along great most the time.
Lena is getting so big. She tries to do everything her brothers do. She climbs and jumps on everything she can. She is a big helper. She will get things and put stuff away for you.
