I didn't work on Monday or Wednesday of this week. On Monday, the boys ran errands with me. We had to run to the mall for something...we were walking around (OK, the boys were running and chasing and being them) and all of a sudden, MJs eyes get real big and he looked at CR and said THE EASTER BUNNY! They both took off and ran straight to that over sized bunny (who by the way, does not speak). The begged me to get there picture taken with the big bunny. I gave in, of course. MJ asked the Easter Bunny if he was going to bring him a chocolate bar for Easter, and the bunny gave him thumbs up. The boys gave up Chocolate for lent and this has been really hard for them, but I am very proud of them.

In other news, Chad took this picture of MJ this weekend with his new iPhone. It just summarizes MJ. He loves the outdoors and bugs and the soil and digging and gardening. He and my dad planted more raspberry bushes that he will take very good care of. He was digging up worms and making a collection of them in this picture. MJ had a worm collection going and Jesse (next door) had a roley-poley collection. CR just wanted someone...anyone...to push him on the swing! CR now loves riding his trike. He is good at it and can (sort of) keep up with the bigger kids.

MJ got a vaccination today. He was such a tough guy. Not one tear. So strong and brave. I was proud.
