What Was I Thinking?

Science learning

Recently, we did a little "science" project at our house. I'm always trying to find science projects or other projects because Collin's brain doesn't stop and he is ALWAYS wanting to do something.

Liam of course I couldn't let play with foaming bubbles and baking soda, but he loved playing with a straw and measuring cups. Almost the same, right?

Collin on the other hand, LOVED making the bubbles with different food colorings.

This is such a silly face. Thanks to Pinterest, I have so many projects I can choose from!

Yeah for easy science projects at home!

Okay, blogger apparently has updated since my last post, so hopefully this will make sense. They also upload pictures differently, so these are totally all out of order, but they are all from Easter Sunday.

There is a sweet grandma down the street from us that always decorates her yard for the holidays. My boys LOVE to go down there (witch's house anyone) and Easter we went down and got some pictures by the Easter bunnies...ro attempted. Liam liked pushing the bunnies more than smiling.

Again, trying to get a 1 and 3-year-old to smile at the same time?

And look at the camera?

I think I have decided this is impossible. But, check out how big Collin's shoes and feet look at this angle? Love this smile of Collin's :) He was SO excited for candy. That kid could live on treats.

We had a little mini hunt that morning in our basement. Liam had certain eggs, and Collin had others.

We have actually been hiding eggs for several weeks now, but none of the eggs had CANDY before!

It was so much fun to watch them walk around picking up eggs.

And the Easter bunny brought them some fun little things as well.

Collin LOVES hiding and finding eggs. Besides being a forest ranger, maybe he will be a detective or something.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Dying the eggs for Easter

We dyed eggs this year. Collin got a HUGE excitement out of it. He loved seeing the eggs turn colors. He especially liked when we colored the "magic" crayon on the eggs.

Liam, he pretty much just wanted to make a mess, so he didn't get to dye too many :)

Not sure why we love putting dyed eggs over our head.

Punching out the little circles is a fun thing to do for 3-year-olds.

Of course, Collin had 2 Cougar blue eggs. He is a true blue boy.

Why I can't cut Liam's hair

It's no secret Liam has crazy hair. Once in a blue moon it stays combed for 5 seconds.

And he looks like a handsome little boy...instead of crazy mad hair scientist.

And these pictures don't do justice, but these litte wispy curls are why I can't bear to cut his hair yet.

Usually it's all ringley and curly in the back. When we comb it it's all flat and curly at the bottom. It doesn't last long, but it's SO cute and tugs at my hairstrings....which is why I put up with crazy hair 99 percent of the time.

Quick March 2012 trip to Idaho

For Christmas, my mom got my sister and my sister-in-law and her and I tickets to Time out for Women in Idaho Falls. It was great fun, but these next pictures are from our stay up there. Liam and Collin love the whack a mole game.

Liam LOVES this chair.

Who knows what this face is for :)

Liam also loves this corner....

And it's crazy hair again!

Free Discovery Museum day

Back last month, Discovery Museum at Gateway had a free day, so we took advantage of it. We have been once before, but Liam wasn't even really mobile, so he had a HEY DAY this time.

This car was a huge hit for Liam. Of course, it was bigger than him.

But it was so fun!

Trying to get both boys to look at the camera I have decided is impossible....

Collin liked playing on the farm.

And of course using some machine to move the food was a big hit.

This water thing seemed to be new to me, or at least the boys wanted to spend MUCH more time there this time.

I really think it's amazing how simple things can be to get kids attention. My kids and water. They are sold.

Collin LOVED the construction site thing last time, and still loved it this time.

Liam loved playing in this little ball thing at the front. He didn't really care about the balls but loved playing and crawling in this little cubby section.
