With the weather near 80 today, it was the perfect afternoon for a picnic at Lake Manawa
Rocks and sticks and water? Des was onboard.
Ella was content just to hang in the shade
Yummy picnic, sans blanket dad forgot
Someone was ECSTATIC to finally wear his short-sleeve “rocket ship!” pajama top since it was finally warm enough. Note the day-old glow stick from aunt Kellie- after a day in the freezer, still going strong.
Rise and shine for the LEGO artists expo at the botanical center. In addition to the prior lego exhibit, there were a lot of interesting builds from the Lincoln/Omaha Lego group. Featured here is a train racing past Ray’s Music Exchange (don’t tell mom)
What kid wouldn’t dive into a pile of legos? Des occasionally looked over at his older cousin for both validation and cues on what to do next 🙂
These two goofballs taking a break for a photo before lunch arrived
Sure Mr. Waiter, you can (try to) take our picture
Later in the afternoon at grandpa’s house, Des was focused primarily on his water can and how much he could get away with near the “pond”
Eleanor hanging with Travis and mom
Life is so hard
Des and aunt Kellie synchronizing the opening of their St. Patrick’s Day musical cards (thanks grandma!)
There might be a tooth hiding in there somewhere. Either way, finger = good.
Not everything is a kodak moment- here’s baby sister screaming her adorable little head off during bath time
Des and Cal attempting the worlds worst jigsaw puzzle. Yeah right, good luck kids
Winding down the evening quietly…
Someone was still napping when dad picking them up from daycare
Look at who joined everyone at the dinner table! Even if it was just to play with toys, she’s into to watching everyone- especially all the sounds and (reasonable) antics emitting from her big brother.
Toys and treats.
“Reading” Dinosaurumpus! to baby sister
Even as this picture was being taken, Desmond was blissfully echoing dad’s advice: “No eat snow.” Yes, you’re the poster child for “don’t eat the [days old, mostly melted into the dirt] snow.”
Monday night smiles!
Celebrating great-grandma Kathy’s 80th birthday
Giggles and kisses with ma
Des eating and playing with his cousins at the “big boy” table
With daylight savings, everyone is ready for a nap
Too cold for the parade, so it was a morning at the baby gym
What’s better than these two laughing together?
