Baseball Season, A Visit to the Easter Bunny, and Some Sunshine

It's baseball season and even though the boys are only 3, we're gearing up for the season.  While visiting Target to get new Easter baskets, we HAD to check out the baseball gloves that just might end up in our Easter baskets if we're lucky.  They had fun making sure they worked...


...now the test of patience begins.  :-)

We also tested out the helmets this weekend while continuing to check out our glove options at Sports Authority...




...Dad wants to make sure we get the best glove possible for them.  He's a catch, that one.  Next year maybe the Easter bunny will bring them helmets...lol.

Speaking of the Easter Bunny, we weren't as brave this year as we were last year...


...that's right, it's a good thing I brought Mickey along with us because there was NO way there were getting near that bunny without us.  Those smiles are tickle-induced by the way.  Thanks, Lindsey Potter for that lovely little trick :-)  And thanks Gardens Mall for the lovely memory we'll laugh about for years to come.  

The night wasn't a total bust because we had some other friends along too and had a fabulous time with lots of laughs over dinner after our Easter Bunny visit.  

Saturday we did our usual First Saturday of the Month thing and visited the Home Depot for a little bird feeder building project...


...the boys continue to develop their hammering and painting skills and I continue to have a blast completeing projects with them.  It's so much for to experience their sense of accomplishment along with them.  

It's also fun to experience the wonder of Home Depot with them afterwards.  It's better than Toys R Us if you ask them... 



...who knows, maybe it will be a high school job for them :-)  

We spent the rest of our Saturday morning at a birthday party and then got to enjoy a little date night...photo free.  It was GLORIOUS to get out on the town with my husband all to myself for a few hours.  We MUST find a way to do that more often.  

Sunday was too gorgeous to resist a trip to the beach...


...after a few hours in the sun and sand, we headed to lunch.  I love dining with sandy toes and my boys...



...they were as mischievous as always.  

We finished out our weekend with some bike rides, a little splashing in the pool,  and lots of jumping on the new trampoline...


....talk about a great birthday present. It's the ultimate energy burner :-)  I don't think it will be getting old any time soon.  Thanks Mimsy and Grandpa.

Today it was back to the routine with play group for the boys where they made some adorable crafts...

 

...while I tackled a few errands and scored a major deal thanks to a computer error at Michaels...


I wish I would have bought more of those goodies.  Lucky me!!  

We also did a little crafting at home before naps...


...thanks to my genious idea to add come depth to the carrot, it now looks like a tiger carrot...  How do I fix that???    Oh well!

Time to make some dinner...oven fajitas are on the menu tongiht.  YUM!!
