More Tap and Flag Tag

Here is a little more from the kids classes. Maddie loves dancing and the noise of her tap shoes!!

And as for flag tag, Brennan always forgets about Mike and I and heads straight for one of his teachers. He loves to chase, but if someone pulls his flag, he will just stop and stand there...no expression, nothing. It is as if he is just in shock. It's cute.

Last Ballet/Tap and Last Munchkin Sport

The kids had their last classes this week. Madison had a little 'recital' that was so fun to watch. She is all legs and arms - it's so cute. Brennan has decided that he likes basketball more than hockey - but his favorite is flag tag! These classes were so great, I am sad they are done for the winter, but I have enough pictures to keep me busy until the kids get into new classes. :)

Easter

We had a fun Easter in Oregon - even though it was cold and rainy...I shouldn't complain - since it has SNOWED the last three mornings- what crazy weather. The kids personalities really showed again on Easter morning. When Madison got her basket she ate one jelly bean and then told me that she needed to save the rest for after breakfast. Brennan on the other hand, ate all his jelly beans and his chocolate bar immediately...after a while we had to hide his basket just to get him to stop!! I also included my lame attempt at a family picture. I have learned that it is no small task to get us all together for a pic - I admire all the beautiful family pictures that I see around...we just can't pull it off.

Coloring Easter Eggs

The kids and I had fun coloring eggs today...although coloring hands would be a more accurate description of the activity. Maddie loved coloring and decorating, Brennan loved banging the eggs on the counter and cracking them...so we had hard boiled eggs for lunch today! :)

My Angel and My Photographer

Brennan called me up to his room saying, "Mommy, look I'm an angel!" Madison had somehow convinced him that he would enjoy being dressed up in all these things - and purple lipstick is a must.

Maddie has taken to photography recently...but this week she took it a step farther and started 'posing' people for her pictures. Mike is a very good sport.

The Children's Museum

Children's museums are so wonderful; a place where kids can touch EVERYTHING and not get in trouble or hurt. It is so fun to let them go nuts, use thier imaginations and have a ball. My parents took the kids to the Portland Children's museum this week...and the kids can't stop talking about it.

A Yee Haw and a set up

Bren went through a phase where he wanted to wear this hat everyday. I think the picture in the bathroom captures his true personality.






The kids set up this little 'scene' to make me laugh. I heard them giggling, and walked to the stairs to find the 'elmos' napping, and the Krieg kids doing the same.
