Grantham showing off how big the strawberries are that he is picking.
Isaac helping out.
Daddy was even able to come and help.
Eating OR Picking???
Isaac showing off the "left-overs" of his strawberry
From the mess on Isaac's face you can probably tell that he ate as many as he picked. We actually caught him taking the strawberries out of our containers, eating a bite and then throwing them back into the strawberry plants (hiding the evidence).
As John would say, "Harvard, here we come." We can't seem to help Isaac understand that he keeps putting this space hat on backwards. So he bumps around the house trying to see out of the bottom of the hat instead of looking through the clear visor that should be in the front. Funny Boy!
Maybe he can get into college with his adorable smile? (Peek)
Grantham continues to excel in sports of all kinds. This was a class field trip to a TaeKwonDo clinic. John was able to get off work and go with him. Other parents were commenting about how impressive he was and that he must have taken lessons before (no one knew John was his dad - it was a proud day for John)! While this was Grantham's first experience, we will probably try out some classes in the Spring. He had a great time!
This Spring we tried out baseball (tball). We had a wonderful Christian coach who taught Grantham A TON. Grantham continues to dominate with his left hand when it comes to sports, even though he is righty when he writes. The sport was less active than we had hoped but Grantham had a great time and made a lot of new friends.
Easter Morning
Doing my own thing?
Posing for Nana's camera
Dying Easter eggs - a fun tradition at Nana's house
Isaac's first time to get in on the fun
The "pro" showing us how it is done
The beginning of a VERY big mess - Isaac created beautiful eggs and . . .
HANDS
Isaac caught on really fast to the game of hiding and finding eggs. He had no clue there was anything inside the eggs but he loved hunting for them and collecting them in his basket!
Grantham had a blast hunting for eggs. After he was done finding his, he helped some other younger children. It warms my heart to see him caring and helping others.
Reaching deep behind a tree to retrieve an egg (we hide them really well).
A hot but successful afternoon of Easter egg hunting
Starting a new tradition - making reserection rolls the night before Easter
Hard at work in the kitchen
Making a yummy mess - they were a huge success for breakfast the next morning
Grantham designed his own cake. Drawing a picture for me to copy for his birthday cake - I was pretty impressed with his ideas (the orange is an octopus leg coming out of the ocean to grab the treasure).
As guests arrived, they created flags and decorated treasure chests.
Isaac and Pawpaw even created a flag:)
Time for cake and ice cream - Grantham blowing out his candles.
Let the treasure hunt begin - Daddy lead his band of pirates to attack the boat with water balloon cannons.
After boarding the boat, they attacked the "bad guys" (balloons) with swords (bambam sticks). They cornered them and put them in the holding cell.
A loose cannon was found (hot potatoe), the losers had to walk the plank. The winner discovered a treasure map!
Grantham walking the plank!
Down the stairs as they followed the treasure map.
Finding the missing piece of the map proved to be a challenge . . .
on they searched through a tunnel, over the river and around the cannons
Until they found the X that marked the spot. Hidden under some pillows was a treasure chest full of "goodies." The loot was divided up for each guest/pirate and they took them home in their treasure chests.
Enjoying a pirate game that Grantham received at his party.
Enjoying the spoils of a meal cooked together
Waiting to get into Disney Epcot
So excited to meet Mickey again
Isaac was not so sure about Goofy but Grantham loved meeting all the characters - we had NO line and were lucky enough to be the second people in line for the day
Isaac dancing with Grandma - when you stepped on the musical instruments pictures on the floor they played a song - Isaac and Grantham could have stayed here all day
One of the things Grantham was most looking forward to on this trip was a visit to the Lego store - he could have spent our life savings in the store!
Checking out the Lego wall
Creating a Lego man - SO FOCUSED
Too cute picture of Isaac waiting for Grantham while he was in the Lego store
Enjoying the pool
