shorts in march?!?

This weather is unbelievable!! I can't my kids are wearing shorts and sandals in March.  My shopping addiction is a good thing at times, we are always prepared. 

zoo!!

We headed to the zoo Friday morning with Sara, Macy and baby Lilah.  We did not think the new carousel would be open this early in the season, we were surprised when we heard the music playing. We opened the zoo so Nathan and Macy and the first ride of the day. I think it was a highlight for both. Nathan loved running thru the polar bear exhibit but overall preferred to see the animals form the stroller. 

pj library

I had to force the kids to come inside to get ready for pj library, I amost said forget it since it was so nice out and they were playing so nicely.  After a quick dinner and bath they were ready to heard back to school in the jammies. First they worked on an art project of decortaing flowers for spring. Then it was stroy time and finally it was time for the bed time snack. Jake had a great time running around with Caleb, Nathan just wanted to follow the bigs guys around. Pj library is always such a fun event I wish they had them more often.

spring fever

Spring is in the air around here and we are enjoying every minute! The boys have had a great time rediscovering all of the outside toys. 

cooking class

Just as we were ready to walk out the door to take Jake to school Monday morning we got a call that Hillel was closed because they had no power! Jake was thrilled that he was going to tag along to Nathan's cooking class. Jake was a great helper and Nathan loved showing Jake what to do. I forgot to take my camera in to the room where we do the actual cooking. Here are the boys enjoying the music part of the class while their oatmeal jam bars were cooking. 

west bloomfield library

Friday morning we meet up with Hannah, Ella and Rebecca at the library. Nathan liked showing Hannah all of the fun activities the library has to offer. They played with blocks and even put on a puppet show. They even enjoyed reading a few books. 

Purim at school

Thursday morning I offered to help at the Purmin carnival at school. Things got very intersting when Hillel lost power just minutes into the school day. The nixed the parade and everyone did their best to play the games in the dark. Needless to say the day was cut short and and they eneded the school day at 10:30. Luckily I was just there to take the boys home with me.  It was definitely a Purim we will not forget for a very long time
