Having fun at home

Zoe thinks it is okay to stand on Zachary's chair at the table and watch for birds (coming to visit our bird feeders) or squirrels -- who like to steal the bird seed. Problem is that when we tell her to sit down on her tush she does, but then climbs right back up as soon as we look away. So then when I decided to snap a photo she gave this cheesy grin. Oh my, what are we going to do with this girl!
Zoe looking pretty in pink now that spring is here!
After playing baby Moses in his school Passover play (see earlier post) Zachary discovered that he could play in the big baskets we have (to store the toys). This became a fun pastime for a few days but also a bit messy as the toys had to go somewhere.
Of course Zoe had to get in on the action, and then she had to hug all her animals. She is already so maternal. Pretty sweet.

Ok how rare that we get the two kids both looking at the camera, smiling and looking cute. This might just be one for a frame. Don't you agree?
Zachary got a little tired, I guess and took a rest in/on the basket. Meanwhile Daddy changed the settings on the camera and got this nice shot with this funky effect.

Family fun

Zoe has suddenly really taken to tackling various members of the family. Zachary doesn't seem to mind too much and lets her get away with it (for now). Soon she will figure out how to really tickle him when he is pinned and then he will be sorry he ever let her win!


A tender snuggle under the blanket - aren't they sweet!


During the week of Passover, we took the kids to Mystic Aquarium. The first exhibit was the Beluga Whales which the kids watched for some time from several vantage points. Here is Zachary watching for one of the whales to swim by.
We have a picture like this of Zachary going through a "rock tunnel" near the whale exhibit from when he was 1. See below after this picture of Zoe who couldn't fit between the rocks and wouldn't go through the rock tunnel.



Zoe had a little too much fun with a bowl of chocolate mousse and thought that the bowl might in fact make a nice hat ...
... or that chocolate mousse might be good for her hair or something. Straight to the bath young lady!


Our first miniature golf outing, and it was especially fun that the course theme was dinosaurs. Here is Glenn teaching Zachary how to putt.
Zachary found his own swing, good for him!
ROAR
Zachary and Zoe conquer the Triceratops!

A hole in one, go Zach!
