Two busy kids... 
We have been talking about the parts of a flower (thanks for the idea Aunt Joann;) and came up with this craft. Elsie's busy here gluing on her roots. 
This pic is out of place, but Samuel put on these potato head glasses and said to me "Hi, I'm Grandma". :)
Admiring her work. :) 
I love these little looks of concentration. :) 
There's that tongue. 
Mommy had a little fun today.... haha. :) 
Elsie, dreaming about summer in her bathing suit and hat....lol. :) 
Comptemplating...
Jacob wondering what his crazy sister is up to. (She was pretending to take his picture.)
He's losing his hair...
A snake!! 
This little guy has not been feeling well... The nebulizer is our friend. ;)
What a face!
Elsie wanted me to take pictures of her making faces. Here goes....
Our "sweet" girl.... haha. 
Samuel, happy to get back on the playground after a long winter. 
Playing with cousin Brendan's cool snake.
Brendan said he was building a "campfire".
Elsie really wanted me to push her in this "wheelbarrow".
Brendan feeding his alligator.
Look at this big boy! He has to be up at the table with us during dinner now, or else he feels left out. :)
Bubbles and sidewalk chalk. Loving the mild weather!
Talking to his toy monkey. Now if only it'd talk back.... I'd certainly get a heck of a lot more done around here during the day!
Daddy's been playing with blocks again. ;)
Some of our "spring crafts" (as it was snowing outside this afternoon....haha). Inchworms on leaves.
More results of our crafting this afternoon. I didn't realize how many plastic Easter eggs we'd accumulated over time, so this was a great way to get rid of some. :)
Elsie and Sam have been having lots of fun playing with them.
Wow... these pictures make Jacob look SO big! 
Can he really be half the size of his 3 and 1/2 year old sister already?! He weighed close to 15 pounds at his two month doctor's visit, and she is barely over 30. 
We made spring flowers out of foot and handprints. The footprints were the leaves and hands were the flowers. Now this craft had MAJOR messy potential, but we kept it pretty well tamed with lots of newspapers and towels!
Coming right along...
Jake even got in on the fun... Then it was STRAIGHT to the bathtub for him. :)
Taa Daa! Our beautiful spring flowers. :)
Elsie set up this photo op... She wrote Jacob a book and wanted me to take a picture of her reading it to him while he held the teddy bear wearing the diaper.
