For Whom the Bell Tolls
This is Alex's mosh pit face. He was rocking out to Metallica on the way to Appleton.
Better late than never
Due to the snow and sub-freezing temps during the actual Easter weekend we had an outdoor egg hunt last weekend instead.
Tale of the Mighty Knights
Alex, Maya and I took off a week ago thursday for Green Bay. Friday night we went to Appleton with friends to see The Backyardigans Live: The Tale of the Mighty Knights. This was my first experience with preschooler stage shows. Alex was very excited....once the show started he was a little nervous about some parts (some moving trees and a dark forest) but said he liked it. For those unfamiliar w/ the storyline there is an egg that hatches into a dragon. Right before intermission the legs hatched out of the egg and Alex decided he was too scared of the dragon (and totally overtired) so we left during the break. It was an experience that's for sure - a huge theater filled with excited and tired kids ages 5 and under!

Back from the land of the sick
Alex and I got a really awful cold and were pretty much out of commission for over a week. Considering how many days we just stayed home in the house we did pretty well staying sane. Maya and Ben escaped it for the most part, Maya just had some goopy eyes and coughs every now and then.
We are also happy that our winter like weather finally broke and the snow is almost gone! I think the fresh air helped kick that last lingering bit of our colds too, we got to play outside a bit on friday and quite a bit on saturday and sunday.
Ben built our nesting box this weekend and we hung it up. We are hoping to attract kestrels or screech owls. We also got Maya a baby swing for the swing set. Oh my goodness does she love it! She doesn't even have to be swinging, she just likes to sit in it and look around.
