Matt took the kids to the gym for an hour on Friday and it gave me some time to catch up a little. The kids love going to the gym because they always do face painting. When they got home they were deep in character of butterfly and some kind of Spring fairy/princess and were doing Nacho-libre type dancing.
We are actually getting a pretty healthy crop of strawberries in our garden. It doesn't replace the cartons I'm buying weekly on sale, but Mathew does enjoy picking/eating them and I think he's finally grasping the concept of why we wait to pick them when they are red. He also enjoys finding the mutant strawberries like the "twins" in the picture.
Last night we dyed Easter eggs and, like every activity, it slowly evolved into bigger and bigger projects. We started dying eggs but then they were tie dying paper towels and then old T-shirts.
This morning Matt and I enjoyed listening to the excitement of finding Easter baskets and I couldn't help but think how quickly these darling years will pass. Even though Mathew ate way too much chocolate and that annoying plastic "grass" gets everywhere, this time will be over way too soon.
Tonight the kids wanted to have a slumber party and the girls insisted that Mathew join them. Matt and I walked in to see they had piled up almost every pillow and blanket in the house in their room and Mathew was sitting on top of his thrown daring us to try to move him. We knew it wouldn't actually work but we let them try it. Sophie fell asleep right away while Ellie and Mathew looked at books together for about an hour. After that, Mathew was acting up too much so we finally put him in his bed. Oh well, tomorrow they can sleep in.
