Bugs

Girlfriend claims to hate bugs but she gleefully picked up and played with a bunch of canker worms on the playground today.

April Fool's

I don't usually go in for pranks on April Fool's Day but Ella was rather intrigued by the idea so I tried to think of ideas that weren't actually mean but just funny. I finally settled on covering the doorway to Ella and Dash's room with crepe paper while they were asleep so they would have to bust through it in the morning.  Joke was on me, though, since the next morning, they carefully removed only the very bottom row of crepe paper and shimmeyed underneath, leaving their room completely inaccessible to all adults.

Easter Cohens

Three cute bunny-eared kiddos in the yard after dinner.  We even have a few daffodils at the new house.  I think we are all very happy for spring to finally be here!

Welcome home

Amazing how much I can miss my small people even after only 36 hours away (and much of that time included silence and room service in a nice hotel).
