Finally an Update

I've been lax in updating the blog and taking pictures as I have been getting woken up lately around 5am by one of two things:

Sam's face one millimeter from my face whispering "I'm awake"

or

Sam waking up and after thinking of his options deciding not to go play with his toys quietly or read his books but rather to crawl into Luke's crib and scare him to death which results in large amounts of screaming.

Friday was Good Friday and Sam got to go to work with Phil!

They took a break from making all kinds of important deals and went on a boat ride together.

They Wined & Dined at Grandpa Thompson's favorite Irish restaurant...McDonald's.

And saw the Noon Day cannons go off.

I think both boys had fun.

In preparation for Easter we dyed Easter eggs with the kit Grandma T. sent us.

Thanks so much Grandma, we had a blast.....

Soon after Baby Bear discovered the eggs we had to put them out of reach.....

In other news, Sam now prefers to be fed via his matchbox car fork lift.

And thinks he may need a few more matchbox cars.

Saturday morning we headed to a beach we read about in a book called Hong Kong for kids.

It's supposed to be super fun...one of the best on the island.

This is how you get there.....

SO, we went to Stanley instead and got in on a pick up game of soccer.

After naps, we gave a different & closer beach a try.

SUCCESS!

Here are my boys failing to read the rules clearly printed on the side of the boat.

And Luke has a new nickname... Baby Bear.... due to his amazing ability to get into EVERYTHING, make HUGE messes & eat ANYTHING

In other news,

Apparently when I want the boys to do something I use the term sweetheart too much.

As in, "Sam, sweetheart, please put your shoes on" because last night around bedtime he came over, sat on my lap and said, "Mommy, sweetheart, please take me to bed."

I'm just glad he didn't ask for a puppy.
