Spring Fling!

March 20, 2008 by Elaine

We spent the morning with our playgroup at the Fort Worth botanical gardens. While there we visited the butterlfy exhibit, had a picnic lunch and did a little Easter egg hunt for the kiddos. Thankfully it was a beautiful day for such activities! Gavin was not really into taking pictures, but he did okay. Ben was all about making silly faces. So, I didn’t get “that shot” of the 2 boys together but I did get some cute ones!

I probably won’t be a bloggin’ for a few days because I am headed back in time to 1999 (also known as the year before DSL…) where my parents live and will have limited access to ye old internet. Happy Easter to everyone! Hope you have a blessed and happy one!!

I leave you with one last picture…

    Ha! that picture of your boys is priceless. Have you already discoverd the futility of trying to get both of them posed at the same time? Yeah, it’s nearly impossible.

    Have a fanastic trip and enjoy your internet break.

    Psst, if you start shaking.. it’s not withdrawal from blogging, it’s not. Nope. It’s just that you are so excited to blog about all the fun you are having.

    No really, stop rolling your eyes.

    🙂

    Love that last picture! It’s just true to life! 🙂

    So, you have a Thomas Freak, too? Isn’t it wonderful… (said with some sarcasm)…

    I know so much more about trains than I ever thought I ever would. It’s amazing what my 5 year old knows! Do you have lots of trains, too? If so, how do you store/organize them? We’ve got too many and his room is flooded with them!!!! AAAGGGHHHH!

    Ok, that had nothing to do with Easter. Your pictures ARE great! Hope you have a wonderful time at your parent’s house!

    In the last picture your youngest looks embarrassed by the eldest. Does it really happen that soon?!

    : )

    Have a good weekend.

    Happy Easter.

    I love the name of your blog. My real first name is also Elaine. I never thought of “Miss Elain-eous”. How clever!
