Weekend fun

We spent a very quick weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Pope for a little Easter fun. 

In the morning we had bunny pancakes.

Grandma and Maddison dyed Easter eggs.

*sigh*

The all cousin Easter egg search and recover task force.

All that egg hunt practice at home really paid off!

The spoils.

And while we all ate candy and enjoyed a campfire picnic, Sage ate leaves. 

It was a great trip and I'm not sure we could have packed any more fun in. We only wish we could have stayed longer 

Maddison tells a joke.

Mom "Look Maddison! A jelly fish."
Maddison "No, I think it is a jam fish. Ha ha!"

"Mom, can you help me get my shirt on?"

Cute sisters.

Thank you Craig's List!

For months we have been searching Craig's List for a swing set for the girls. We were looking for something cool, at a good price, and local. We finally found just what we were looking for...or perhaps even a little better than we had imagined. 

That's one happy girl.

This week's project

Trenching for a sprinkler system.

Lunch break ...and notice that fine looking deck Steve built.

Maddison loves digging in the dirt. We will have to leave her a patch of dirt so she will always have a place to dig. 

Stay tuned! Something BIG is coming to our backyard this weekend. Photos to come. 

Cute Faces

This is what we do

Despite the 20 degree weather, Maddison insisted on getting bundled up so she could go play in the tiny skiff of snow we got yesterday. She was so sad when I told her there wasn't enough snow to build a snow castle. 

Meanwhile, Sage was up to her usual antics finding tiny spaces to crawl into and getting stuck. 

Easter Dresses Are Done

Sage's Dress. 

You can't see it in this photo but there is a pretty little silver thread that runs through the skirt material.

Sleeve detail.

Maddison's skirt. She already gets to wear her skirt since she was desperate for a new Sunday outfit. I'm not sure what happened but all her other dresses have recently shrunk :-) and are now too short. Sage will have to wait to wear hers. 

All Terrain Baby

Sage's new favorite thing to do is find things to use to help her stand up. She is still army crawling around (super speedily) but yesterday I saw her do a real crawl. She loves to crawl over things (pillows, table legs, mom and dad legs) and under things (kitchen chairs, church chairs, tunnels made from your legs). She is our all terrain baby.
