Easter Fun

We had a fun Easter weekend. We dyed eggs yesterday afternoon. And today the Sperlings came over for an Easter dinner. We hunted for Easter eggs in the backyard.

Sunday Fun

We've had a relaxing couple weeks.  Last Sunday, we went to a Japanese steakhouse in GR as a special treat for the kids, and they both loved the experience!  Even Mer, who doesn't typically like Asian cuisine (she does not like soy sauce), enjoyed her meal.  Per usual, Charlie had no problem cleaning his plate.
Today we visited Rockford and an art gallery / children's activity center that had lots of fun toys - Legos and marble builders.

Big March Blog

It's been a few weeks, so we have a few events to blog about!
Last weekend, we went to the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex inside of Muskegon State Park (Charlie was getting over the flu, so he stayed back wit Lala and Bumpa).  We enjoyed outdoor ice skating and walking through the woods.  Mer rang the bells as the lugers sled down the luge track.

 

 

On Charlie's preschool was closed this past Friday, so he and I spent the day together at the GR Children's Museum.  He liked the sand table and playing, "bubble pop!"

 

 

And then.....Mer lost a tooth!

Yesterday, we went to the GR Symphony Lollipops performance of "Green Eggs and Ham" with Lala, Gavin, and Patsi

 

And this afternoon, we went to the Shrine Circus.  The kids liked seeing the tigers, elephants, dancing pigs, clowns, and acrobats.  Mer chose to have her face painted like a butterfly, but Charlie was more interested in just playing with his glow wand.

 



Winter Visit

It was a wonderful weekend with Nannie & Grandpa Tom - filled with lots of activities!  Baking, crafting, playing, Meijer Gardens, sledding, dancing, and laughing.  We miss them already but are looking forward to a summer visit.

Saturday - Skating & Daddy Daughter Dance

 

 

It's been a fun Saturday - we started our morning at Home Depot for a kids workshop. We build a Valentine's Day box.  Then we went to skating and ended the day getting ready for a special dinner at a restaurant and then to the Daddy Daughter Dance at the high school.  Mer was so excited....Charlie was too!
