we had a lot of fun with grandpa w. as he was able to come during paul's spring break (though he still had to work, it was nice for him to have a LOT more time with us than he would usually have had). we did lots of exciting things, though we didn't seem to take soo many pictures.
we went to the zoo (sorry, i forgot my camera), made homemade ice cream (chocolate mint chocolate chip,
sickly green in color, but probably one of the best "recipies" we've ever done in that machine)
 |
| as you can tell, malachi had a great time playing with the ice cream maker. all the kids loved snitching the ice, and generally they didn't even care if it was covered with salt--yuck! ;) |
one day, afton decided to have curly hair like rayna. they sure look like sisters here, huh?! she slept on sponge rollers, and we took lots of pics that day
:) we all liked it so much, i think it will become a fairly regular thing around here!
 |
| sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters... |
coincidentally, that same day was the day afton decided to start a roly-poly jar. she LOVES those little bugs (okay, crustaceans), and after checking a book out from the library about them decided she as what it takes to take care of them, so out we went with an old applesauce jar to collect some--i can't believe how many she's found! there are at least 50 in that jar by now, though when this pic was taken (16th) there were probably only half that, we've added to the numbers nearly every day.
 |
| ps, i think you can click on the picture to get the up close look of the jar, if you're interested :) |
we also had a little outside grilling time in honor of nice temperatures and grandpa visiting. nothing like homemade shish-kabobs! and grandpa even helps eat mushrooms if the girls can sneak them onto his plate
;)
|
malachi just likes to be outside! |
(ps, i think these pictures are out of order, the grilling was the 11th, for those that care about things like that)
 |
| the girls thought it was necessary to get their camp chairs out for the true cook-out experience |
rayna was clearly having tons of fun! she was wiped out!
and i can't upload any other pictures right now, so i guess i'll do more in another post.

I used to sleep in those spongy curlers all the time. I loved having curly hair when I was little. I actually didn't know I could make my naturally wavy hair curly with just a little effort until college! And I love the camp chairs picture. So cute! Also, I loved the Mardi Gras photo. I am excited for when Sophie is a little older so we can do fun things to celebrate random days like that.
looks like a fun week! :)
Love the curls! Looks just like you used to look!
