Our Fun Filled Spring Weekend

The boys and I had a three day weekend and we had a blast.  On Friday, we went grocery shopping and Lucas completed his first "service" project.  I will post on that more later this week.  I treated the boys to a little McDonald's and playground fun since it was too cold to play outside.  That evening we had an impromptu pizza party with Abi, Nathan, Amber, and Dena.  I didn't take any pictures because we were having too much fun watching the kids play together and being silly. 

 On Saturday, we did some work around the house, but still had time for a little fun.  Lucas has been wanting to conduct an experiment for some time now and Andy came up with a good one.  The result, the more Mentos you put in the diet coke the higher the fountain. 

Lucas adding one before Daddy added three more.

 

Run!!

Adam stayed back and Lucas couldn't help but check out his handy work while he ran.

That's awesome!

This weekend we also found that a robin built a nest under the boys playground and by the time I found it there was already one egg in it.  I agreed to leave the nest there since there was an egg in it.  While walking the front yard a few minutes later, Adam happened to find another robin's egg in the grass.  We took it to nest, so now we had two eggs.  The next day we came out and found a total of three eggs, and the following day a total of five.  The boys have snacks in the treehouse to keep the eggs company while their Mommy is gone.  They are planning to teach the baby birds to fly.  I keep explaining that the Mommy robin will take care of her babies, but the boys aren't convinced.  Three weeks ago Lucas and Adam made some pine cone bird feeders, so they are 100% sure that this robin was able to have five big, beautiful eggs because she was so strong and healthy from their bird seed.

 I was having a lazy Mom day, so when Adam said he wanted to stay in his PJs all day I let him.  Doesn't every 4 year old, robin hood, light saber wielding Jedi wear PJ's and red crocs.  He is always pretending to be someone and he is always fighting the bad guys :)

On Saturday night, we had a nice dinner at home.  Lucas has taken up bar tending as a hobby.  He made drinks with club soda, grenadine, ski, lemon juice, and cherries.  Yum, Yum!

On Sunday, we  made pancakes, went to church, played outside and took a Rhino ride.  Then we headed over to Paps and Grandmas for dinner with Uncle Chuck.  The boys got to go on their first successful morel hunt.  Both boys found at least one on their own.  Adam was too stubborn to get his picture taken.  Lucas ate several and said they were delicious.

This was only about half of what we did this weekend, but it's the highlights.  I just love this nice spring days and my little family!  So blessed!!
