Duck Boat Tour and More!

How lucky were we that Auntie Joey, Koa and Mimi chose to spend their Spring Break with us!  Needless to say we were all thrilled to have them visit.  We decided to do something different this time and head outside the confines of our usual suburban stopping points.  We researched a few option and opted to play the ultimate tourist and take a duck tour of Philadelphia.  This was quite the fun way to sightsee as the "duck" took us around Philly while the conductor illustratively highlighted and explained the history, then the vehicle splashed into the water and we got a nice little cruise on the Delaware River (I think--it was hard to pay attention too closely with all of the quacking...).


















Unfortunately our Spring Breaks didn't coincide and my boys still had school.  Here we are waiting for Max at the bus stop...


















We went to the movies which is always fun since it includes popcorn and soda!

We had a sushi night (well, most of us did)...

Fun slumber party in the basement...

And Jack paraded around in several different superhero costumes!



Good Times!!!

Spring 2014

Even though it is mid-July, I just want to quickly highlight where I left off--April.  Finally, our brutal winter of never-ending snow was over and we were able to enjoy some decent weather outside!











Jack was in a music class that was super cute.  He especially loved when the teacher would bring out the instruments.  The drums were his favorite!


Poor Sammy.  This kid is always getting hurt.  Only he never cries so it is all the more heart wrenching when you see how brave he is.  This latest accident happened in the bath tub.  Jack threw a big container at him and got him right smack on the lip.  Blood filled the tub--it was pretty horrific.  Fortunately it wasn't as bad as all of the bleeding had led me to believe; but the cutie pie did end up with a stitch right under his nose.  He is such a trooper!  




Of course I can't forget Easter.  I really didn't get that many pics of the actual day, but we did the usual hunt for eggs thing and the kids engorged on candy (except Jack--he doesn't like candy).



















My cuties!
