Disney On-Ice

 Before the show, waiting in the will-call line.  Ollie was unaware at this moment that this was a princess show.  We just had to walk in and see the merchandising for him to figure it out.  He loved it anyway!

 We had 3rd row seats thanks to Andrew Winkelbauer (my teaching partner's husband).  He also upgraded Wes and I's seats for Fleetwood Mac.  He is my lastest hero!

 Post-thirteen dollar cotton candy overload!

 Brave

 The Beast

Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ariel (Lo's Favorite!)

Popcorn Balls as big as our HEADS!

 We went to Velvet Creme for their Saturday free kid's popcorn ball making class.  No one would wear a hairnet but me.  Penny made a ball shaped popcorn ball, and Ollie made a zombie island - complete with popcorn zombies and sprinkles. 

Day with Rupert

So we had a dog for about 24 hours. He was really cute and old and deaf. Ollie loved him, but was not sad when he went home (because Lo was over and he was too busy). He never barked or went potty inside. He just walked around looking cute. We really don't need a dog. Penny dumped his water bowl several times and HAIR everywhere. We named him Fizzgig, but his real name is perfect.

Okla-weekend

 JJ and Popcorn's home addition is coming along.  The kids liked playing in the sand they will use for the mortar. 

 Sitting with JJ eating cranberries.  Yum!

Wow!  Bo is getting big.  Penny is whining right this second, because she misses Bo. 

An Explanation of Penny's Appearance

 1) Penny's Outfit:  This sweatsuit was purchased in an effort to make Aunt B laugh.  Beth and I have a deal that when we are "old" we will wear nothing but similar sweat suits, have big hair, and ricdiculous nails. 
2) Penny's face:  Penny took her first big tumble down the front steps the other day, and has a big scrape down her nose.  She should be fine in a week or so. 

Both 1 and 2 made for interesting Easter pictures.  My family informs me that I am supposed to put her in a frilly dress for Easter.  Maybe next year (or maybe next year her and Ollie can be Batman and Robin for Easter). 

Easter at Mimi and PopPop's House

 Penny has started calling Grammy, Mimi, so it is kind of confusing.  Here they are hunting for eggs (their second hunt of the day). 

 It was a perfect sunny day, so we took a rare family photo.  The one above is cute, the one below is hilarious.  Check out Ollie's face and Penny is eating a chocolate with the foil on. 

Easter at Our House

 Ollie loves holidays, and he was more than ready for Easter.  He loved making dinosaur Easter eggs (even though he can't eat them). 

 GAK gave us some confetti eggs to smash on each other's heads.  Penny just liked to crack them open.  We realized our mistake after we let her go through about a half dozen.  She now thinks she can do this with ANY egg. 

 The Easter bunny delivered some goodies for the kids, and yes, my daughter is in Halloween jammies.  They are super comfy and glow in the dark. 

 The hunt is on!  Ollie was by far the victor.  Penny didn't want to do anything but walk around.  No basket for her. 

 No one wanted the slug egg!
