Spring Break

The boys have been crazy this week. The weather is gorgeous and we are all loving it. Ian is on Spring Break and it is so fun to have him home. We usually tend to head into town and go different places throughout the week but since it is spring break and everyone else is out we are just having fun at home! We even did a little yard work and ran through the sprinklers this week.

Below is the boys on their journey to catch the evil Emperor Zurg. While Ian is getting a little better about having his picture taken he still does not liked to be stopped during playtime.
Apparently Aaron shot Ian by mistake. Boy down, boy down.

In good new the Easter candy is gone! I am sure you can't possibly guess who ate majority of the Robin Eggs?!?!

The boys decided one afternoon they needed to fix the deck. Not sure what was wrong with it but after a lot of banging it was finally safe :)

We have been doing a lot of Arts and Crafts this week as well. Aaron is loving coloring and getting better each day. I like how Ian is explaining to Aaron how to hold the crayon properly below.
We have enjoyed a few movie nights (although it does look more like day time). Due to Ian's reoccurring nightmares we have been watching Letter and Number Factory for our movie nights.

Aaron discovered that he can bite directly into plastic in order to suck out cheese spread on Kraft cheese and crackers. As you can see he was quite excited.
We did make an adventure out to Chili's for dinner. Eating out is a rare occurrence for us because it is so much easier to just eat at home. Thanks to The Hinckley's we enjoyed a wonderful night out as a family. I had a coupon for free kids meals for the boys so we decided to enjoy a dessert as well. Our waiter was extra nice and got the kids balloons because they were so well behaved.

Daddy had the first part of the week off of work. The boys had fun playing dress up, going for bike rides, creating different things with the connectagons, etc. Below Ian and Tim are making their "creepy" faces.
I told Ian I like his beautiful smile the best!

In other news Ian is still having nightmares. On Easter night he woke up at midnight and we could not settle him down until after 5 am. The same thing happened the next night. Yes, we are all exhausted. He is still refusing to sleep in his bed. This is where he has been sleeping for the past three weeks.
Normally it would not bother me that he is sleeping on the ground but he has a nice big bed and he does not sleeping well on the ground. He is waking up a couple times during the night tossing around and sometimes having nightmares. Ian decided that he just needed a new bed. We informed him that he could not have a new bed unless he slept in his own bed. This meant nothing to him until we decided to actually go and look at beds. He found a bed that he absolutely loves and surprise has now been sleeping in his bed the last 3 nights in the hopes of getting a new bed. I wonder how long we can ride this out for??? I know it will be at least a couple months because he is thinking he will for sure get it for his birthday -although he did not specify which birthday :)
