Krispy Kreme


Heather and I took our kids to Krispy Kreme as a special treat. Not only do they have donuts but there is a mechanical assembly line where you can watch hundreds of donuts being made. Here is Hannah and Jacob with Ashlyn at the kid table.



Hannah LOVES Jade and loves to make her laugh. I realized that you couldn't see what Jade looked like so I added the first picture but couldn't move it where I wanted it. A fun evening!


Enjoy


Just a couple fun pictures. I just could not avoid the sun in that room.

Their beverage preferences

To keep things simple and inexpensive, we pretty much only keep water, skim milk, and soy milk at our house. So when we go to Nana and baba's the kids get to enjoy some of their favorite drinks. Jacob's is rootbeer. (I love it too buddy).

Hannah enjoys Perrier.


Oh so classy!


A few things that makes Nana so great...

Buying peeps at Easter time

Riding robot animals in the middle of the mall

Taking apart her birthday bouquet so Hannah can have a flower for her hair!



Chillin' at taco bell

Here is Jacob with Baba at Taco Bell

Here is Hannah.

It is only 8:30 but I feel pooped from being out in the sun and from allergies. I have a lot of things I should be doing but instead I think I will work on blogs from our weekend at the beach.

Happy Birthday Carol!!!

This is a rather late post to wish you a happy birthday Carol, but I hope your birthday was great! We can't wait to see you tomorrow! Writing of rather late, I am not the only one up past my bedtime. Jacob is still up. About two hours after we had put the kids to bed I heard some noises. Jeff went to investigate and came back down with a wide awake Jake.
He is still pretty wired but I am really tired so this should be fun. He is starting to put sentences together which can be pretty funny. He is saying that he is not sleeping. No kidding. Good night all. Oh, Hannah learned a new "funny" face as shown in the first picture. I don't know how she came up with it.

Happy Birthday Caryn!!

First order of business is to wish Caryn the most happy birthday ever! I am so glad that we will be seeing you and Martin in just a couple of months! I hope you had a really terrific day. Here are the kids painting. Hannah really wanted to paint and I really wanted to not let her paint. I finally conceded thinking that I could get some things done because it keeps them busy for quite a while and Hannah can pour more paint, get new paper, etc for her and Jacob so I hoped that they would be a little self-sufficient for some time.
No such luck. About five minutes later they were good to go. So that amounted to about 5 minutes of me setting up, 5 minutes of them painting (probably 2 of which I was helping with something) and then 5 minute clean-up. I think there is something in business called the point of dimishing return. We were at the bottom of that graph. Man, they could at least have smiled.
