The boys wanted a picnic today so we went to the Idyllwild Nature Center and did their 1/2 mile loop nature trail and ate a picnic. It was perfect "boy sized" hike (Joel loves to hike, seth does not) and Abbey rode in the backpack. It was sunny and about 65 degrees - so nice!
Abbey who we call "gremlin" because of her bad attitude lately - which is probably related to teething.......really loved riding in the backpack - she was all smiles at least for about and hour.
We have a friend named Ben and he has a pet grooming and boarding business (which I guess makes him and animal lover) one day he found a newborn squirrel that had fallen out of a tree. He's been feeding it from a dropper for 5 weeks.....and he brought it over for the boys to see. It is just starting to walk and it's eyes are open.
Her name is Bridget. She was cute but I prefer domesticated animals like dogs!
Last night it snowed....really, no joke! It was pretty giant snowflakes, but I'm ready for spring.
We have a community easter egg hunt in our town and here we are....in the snow ready for the hunt. Abbey stayed home with uncle Jared. They have separate area's for each age group and they start 10 minutes apart. Seth "hunted" in the 0-3 age group and Joel was with the 4-6 year olds. Seth found the "golden egg" in his section and so he got a big basket full of candy and toys.
As you can see, Seth wasn't too excited about the cold weather and Josh is imitating him.
Has anyone else ever picked up easter eggs in the snow? Its definitely different.
Joel is a pro, and he had a great time. Though both were ready to go home by the time it was over because it was so cold.
T ball started this week and Joel's team is the "pirates"......arrgh. We've just had two practices but the kids (4-6 year olds) already seem to know the basics. It's interesting, with soccer they all get the concept of kicking the ball in the goal. Baseball is so much more involved....trying to make plays to get runners out - hitting a moving ball.....wow. Joel says he really likes it and his friend lucas is on his team and our friend Lance is the coach - awesome.
So....I've been yelling for two days and for two nights in a row I have been up in the middle of the night crying. My parents are tired and I'm miserable. Apparently I grew a tooth last night.......maybe that's why.
