And how was your weather on this nice St. Patrick's Day?

This is a blog that was suppose to post right after St. Patrick's day...oops!  The photos were uploaded, but we are still are having computer difficulties at home...so the words did not come as quickly as we planned.  Further, our new Nanny (Sarah) started the last week in March, and to aggravate the chaos...the entire family has been passing back and forth a bad illness that plagued everyone at the house.  The kids recovered only after a few days, but for Mom and Dad, it continued to linger for weeks!  So goes life...we would not change a thing.

Spring time weather in Sacramento is hard to beat and everyone wants to be outside to enjoy the beautiful days.  Couple that feeling with the kids desire to meet up with their classmates from school, and we now have an opportunity for outdoor party!  And what better way to spend time together than to have lunch outside at the local executive airport down the street from our house.  Below, Will, Ava, Natalie, Brooke, and Amanda all watch the planes roll in!

 

Here is a beautiful photo of Amanda watching the other kids play tag.  "You can't catch me!"



Will poses with a nice turbo prop plane in the background.  "Where are they going Dad?"

 

Right after the big lunch, off to the school yard to burn off all that food we just ate.  As many of you probably have already seen in prior posts, all the kids love to be monkeys on the monkey bars, and all are very good monkeys...especially Natalie.



Like all little brothers, Will has to keep up with his big sisters, and can do everything they can do!

 

Hey, look at me!

 

Natalie can swing back and forth, in circles, spin and hang on for a very very long time, just like the real monkey!

 

Here is a beautiful photo of Natalie posing next to the big oak tree at the school yard playground.



No Amanda's turn!

 

You will always know nice weather is at our house once the shaving cream begins to appear in the back yard.  Will loves playing with full canisters at a time.  Fortunately, Will was careful enough to avoid the full body spray and miss his clothes!

 

Look Dad, I made a baby pool of shaving cream!

 

Look at my rocket ships!  They go shoo shoo shoo!  (Check out the black horse in the background!)

 

 

Oops, I spoke too soon about the full body spray.  Time to rub it all over your body.



This feels good!

Of course, the girls now had to get into the picture since Will was doing it...

 

 

 

Dad, I made an Angel!
