April fun time

The sun did not want to shine this weekend, so we went to Bellevue Square on Saturday to window shop.  O's favorite part was watching the glass elevators in the center of the mall. 



On Sunday we ran a few errands in the morning.  Our friend Tenzin came over with her son, Sam (previously featured on this blog here).  I could not find my camera for the life of me, and they were moving around too quick for my phone on my camera. 
After naptime, we went outside (even though it was COLD) - and while I BBQ'd, we blew bubbles.

It was made extra special that Tim was off on Saturday, so we really had good, quality family time.

Easter

Has it really been a year since this cuteness happened?  And two years since this??  We were so excited to see another stellar weather report for this past weekend. 

Oliver has finally figured out the peddling on his tricycle, so just about every day (weather permitting), we are out riding his bike.  I still have the push bar on since sometimes he doesn't feel like going (and I don't feel like putting my back out pushing on the seat).

We really didn't have a need to dye eggs, but I haven't done it in years and it gave me a reason to hardboil some eggs. :-)  I only colored 6 (one in each color), and made some rookie mistakes.  I got very excited by all the fizzing, and put the eggs in early (causing bubbles), and didn't put in any water, just vinegar!

Sunday, we headed down to beautiful Burien, and had a great morning hanging with Papa, Grandma Jana, Jim, Ali, and Chelsea.  It was such a beautiful day!

Look at my basket!

Sorry for all the photos, but it was so nice out and Oliver and Chelsea were being so cute!  We had a great time, and I know Oliver did - when we were leaving, Oliver kept saying, "That was fun!"
