First ever Cadbury egg, "Where is this yummy filling you are talkin' about mama?"
"Ooohhh, there it is!"
First every Cadbury egg, "I think I don't like it. Can I have a cookie?"

Back in the Saddle Again
What have we been up to this past week...an update is in order..
D: Busy, busy, busy with buyers and sellers. True, there is a 14 (or is it 19) month supply of houses on the market here, but the right house at the right price sells quickly. Case in point, he was shopping this week with a client who has lost out on 2 houses to other offers, only to find (and secure!) the 3rd one today. Hers wasn't the only offer though. There is hope! D also has a great new listing~check out his website for details. Oh, and Coach Dave will be assistant coaching Nate's t-ball team. He's been waiting 6 years for this.
K: Busy, busy, busy with boys! I decided to try out spinning class at the gym this past week. Monday - Sore bum, sore legs but pretty fun. Instructor was every educational, gentle. Wednesday - getting better. I can get the hang of this. Will I ever get used to the saddle? Friday - holy cow! What a difference an instructor makes. I think this one had ex-boyfirned issues!
;-) My teeth were sweating. On the plus side, I was too exhausted to worry about the saddle!
D and I got to work on our backyard garden, dubbed by a different client of D's as our Eco Chic Garden. I think the just might stick! Found out more than I ever wanted to know about Dairy Compost. Poop seems to fascinate my family, why not cow poop as well?!? We've got a big learning curve ahead of us, but looking forward to seeing how we fair as farmers. Nate wants to have a veggie stand rather than a lemonade stand this summer. Spread the word! ;-)
N: Back to school. Good to see friends again. Started reading a fun series of 'chapter books' called "Nate the Great" and thinks he over the moon that he gets big kid reading alone time before bed (but really, it is mom who is over the moon about this!) Started baseball/t-ball on Saturday. Green is the uniform shirt color so he is carefully contemplating the team name. Spent hours and hours in the sun yesterday and today and is already sporting a tan face and neck. (where as Ian and I look only slightly less white - let's call ourselves eggshell....)
Ian: Got to have big boy lunch date with Grandma where she picked him up from school and let him chose the restaurant. Good stuff! Even talked her into some candy and bunny ears from the store after! Discovered that the best part of going to the library may just be self check out. Who knew scanning bar codes could be so fun (guilt from mommy, I am NOT a great library goer - but the economy and a thirsty 6 year old reader has me reconsidering.) 2 play dates, karate and many, many practice egg hunts.
And Ian wants EVERYONE to know that he ate 10 peas over spring break.
And almost as important, Nate only ate 3.
(Na na na naaa naaaaa.)

TLC Spring Break - Man vs. Snow
Man vs. Snow - the adventure begins
We found this untouched patch of pure white snow and had to make a trail
Posing on a huge drift off the old logging road. We found snow drifts many feet deep, natural streams of melt, crusty ice puddles, downed trees blocking the road and lots of mud!
Every once in a while mom gets to get in the picture!
A few times Ian was waist deep in the snow banks!
Mud stomping
Can you build a fire in the pit filled with snow? Yes you can. With gasoline.TLC Spring Break - Snow, Sun or Something In between
TLC as seen from the main road, Sagle Rd.
The boys and our friendly country dog dubbed McCain (cuz he's old and white) walking the steep driveway
The view of Lake Pend D'Orielle as seen from the cabin - almost
TLC from the old logging road below the property
Welcome to Spring Break 2009 in Northern Idaho. This is where we were 'roughing it' all week, fondly known at TLC - The Log Cabin. It's the boys favorite place to visit, despite the 8 hour drive. They are getting better year after year. Scratch that, Nate still asks about 700 times, 'when are we gonna be there' but thanks to the technology of navigation, he can see for himself! Ian is just a happy camper. Happy to sit, happy to eat, happy to nap, happy to watch DVD's.

Nearly the entire kindergarten class came to celebrate with the boys which was a lot of fun - and crazy! Check out all those boys in the group shot (I can't imagine why the girls didn't want to get it in - wink!) I think this is the first party I've ever been to that we've consumed almost the entire Costco cake!
