Daily Diary – April 24 2010

What a wonderfully full day we’ve had here. We started off our morning with some family shots (after I exercised of course). The kids were distracted with other things.

Like my watch. Or the remote.

We kept asking Nathaniel where the camera was (to get him to look at it.)

Tickle time.

Then we celebrated Nathaniel’s birthday with a little cupcake (we’re having a birthday celebration for him next weekend since his birthday happened to fall on easter.)

He was skeptical about the cupcake and the candles.

But once I gave him a spoonful of icing, he decided to give it another chance.

And even gave me a smile.

Then it was time for the egg hunt. I told David to leave the easy ones for Nathaniel.

Last year, Nathaniel sat on the grass and cried the whole time. This year, he seemed to get into the spirit of it.

He picked up the eggs.

And put them in his basket (which is a halloween one since David had the easter one and I didn’t have two.)

He even found a few David didn’t.

The last one was the trickiest for all of them, here’s David looking for it.

Our eggs had jelly beans in them this year and they got to eat only a few eggs each. We then watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang together (which I LOVED as a kid) and I sort of knew the sugar would get in the way of naptime but I tried anyway. While Nathaniel played in his bed, I sketched and David worked on his workbooks. We’d already read our book for the day so after we were done, we picked up the little boy who was still not sleeping and ate lunch. I did my leg lifts, etc and now we’re all relaxing. Family night began early tonight with The Wizard of Oz and a picnic in the living room.

All my boys are watching with great joy. And another Sunday is almost over. This week will be a bit rough but I am feeling rested and happy. So bring it on!

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for a full and wonderful day with my boys.
2. I am grateful that I got to watch two of my favorite childhood movies .
3. I am grateful for my simple but wonderful life.
