spring has sprung...

at least in Virginia. It is beautiful here and the kids are loving being outside so much.

We got in on Wednesday and Opa picked us up and we took the metro (to stall so we wouldn't have to sit in traffic) to see if we could see any cherry blossoms. Sadly, they were all gone, but we walked a bit and then went back on the metro to the airport where we got the car and then headed down to Oma and Opa's house.

Opa and Easton

Easton, Opa, Keagan

Yes, I was there

On Friday we met Aunt Carrie and the kids and went to the Children's Museum.

in the craft section

Keagan was not sure why I wanted to take a picture of her in front of this and didn't understand how she was supposed to put her head on the neck part. Oh well.

Easton practicing before he and Daddy and Opa go fishing.

Easton stayed in the fossil digging section for about twenty minutes. He loved it.

Keagan loved this slide. She did it over....and over....and over....and over.

Cousin Briana has been a good helper with the little kids.

Jackson, Austin, Easton, Briana, Keagan

Saturday we went to the zoo.

Keagan, of course, has fallen for Briana which makes Jackson jealous. He asked why Keagan doesn't like him as much and Carrie and I tried to explain to him that she likes him just the same, but she wants to be like Briana because Briana is a big girl. I think that made him feel better.

This was tonight after showers. This was the only thing keeping the kids still long enough so the adults didn't go crazy.

It is crazy with five kids, especially two four year olds, but it gives me comfort to know I am not the only one that looses it when her four year old has a major tantrum.
