This Is How Luke Plays in the Sandbox

Too tired to sit up, but he loves the sandbox so much!

Superhero Party

For Will's and Logan's fourth birthday party, we trained them to be superheros. First, we got them suited up in their capes, eye masks, and wrist bands.

Then they had to show off their muscles and super strength by holding buildings over their heads.

They also practiced flying over those buildings.

Next they fought some bad guys with killer punches and kicks. All the bad guys popped.

Then, a brother bad buy dropped a bunch of bombs and they had to diffuse the bombs with super strength and speed.

Some bad guys showed up on top of the buildings again, and our heros sprayed them with their ray-guns.

The best part of super hero training was practicing shooting webs, like Spiderman.

Wills practiced on Grandma too, but Grandma fights back.

For all their hard work, they were rewarded with lots of presents. Lots of superhero and imaginext stuff.

All the guests were wowed by the boys new powers.

We also had our treat of a Spiderman and a Batman cake.

Happy Birthday, big boy!

Happy Birthday Boys!

Pictures of the party coming soon!

Train Sunday

We went into Toys R Us on saturday and found out that the Cars Wood Collection was being discontinued. We love these toys because they fit with the standard train sets, and we already have a ton of track pieces. We've been buying these cars for like a year now, whenever we see a cool one or they go on sale, and then save them for a holiday or a reward. Well, since we knew we wouldn't be able to find them anymore (and they were all 40% off), we spent all day on Saturday driving around to different Toys R Us stores to find all the sets we still wanted. We finally hit the jackpot at one store that was not cleaned out yet. So after all that hard work, we built an extensive track with our new fun toys.

The track stayed up for a few days and the boys had a ball playing with it.

Luke was like a Babyzilla, knocking down pieces of track every time he moved. He needs a wider-spread track.

This one is one of our new scores: Tow Mater's Yard. Wills had Mater catching the bad cars and putting them in jail. I think it's a little crowded in there.

Don't worry, we only gave the boys a couple and the rest are saved for birthdays or good boys.

Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

I found this recipe for Nutella Rice Krispie Treats on Pinterest. I have had a jar of Nutella sitting in my pantry for like a year because I didn't know what to do with it, so I tried these. They tasted dang good, but they didn't look at all like they are supposed to. I have been told that could have been from me using cheapie rice krispies intead of the name brand, so next time I won't go cheap.

They did not last very long!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I wish I remembered to take a picture of all of us wearing green but I didn't. So here is a picture of what we ate for breakfast. Luke makes me put food coloring in waffles every time I make them, so this wasn't too different from how we eat waffles anyway. In honor of St. Patrick day, we did rainbow waffles.

Eric didn't understand why rainbows are in honor of St. Patrick's day, but everyone else in the world gets it, right?
