Entertainment

We have been enjoying a more normal existence of late.  We took our monkeys to a hockey game...

... and the park!

We also took them to the local science museum (but I didn't take my camera).  While there they were inspired to create gumdrop and toothpick sculptures.  After a quick stop at the store to pick up supplies the monkeys got down to work.

The best part was eating their creations!  YUM!

A New Home for Our Monkeys!

Eric and I have been diligently searching for our next home for weeks.  Today we made an offer on this beauty and they accepted our offer!  : )  It needs a lot of updating on the inside, and of course you know I'll add my flowers, bushes and trees to the landscaping but that's what we like to do to make a house a home.  If all goes well with the inspections we take possession on April 21 and move in a week later.  This way we can get new carpet installed and all the walls painted without messing with moving furniture.  The kids are super excited and I know our two puppies will love it too.  Life is getting more and more settled for us everyday.

Back To School!

Today was Logan's first day back to school since August!

 He was very excited this morning and a little nervous. 

 But when he got home this afternoon he said it was AWESOME!

Spring Break during Winter

This year the kids' Spring Break was a little early to my thinking considering that Spring doesn't officially start until March 20th, but we made the most of it nonetheless. 

We headed to Tulsa and the kids and I enjoyed swimming in the indoor pool while Eric worked.  Poor Eric.  : ( 

 We also enjoyed an afternoon at the aquarium.

 Feeding the turtles carrot strips was the highlight for Amanda!

 And LOOK!  Eric got to join us for some of the fun too!

 Back home, Logan wasn't ready for the festivities to end.  He wanted to have a campfire and roast his dinner.  Where we are living now there isn't a place to do that so we called up some friends and invited ourselves over.

 They were very accommodating in building a rip-roaring fire.

 What a beautiful night for lighting stuff on fire.

 On Saturday we enjoyed the beautiful weather at our town's St. Patrick's Day Parade. 

 The kids got gobs of candy, but there were also other treats being handed out, like these yummy oranges.  Don't they look delicious?

 Amanda tried to keep track of all the horses and dogs in and at the parade, but she lost count somewhere between 52 dogs and 18 horses.  : )

 I'm not sure if she counted this one as a horse or a dog.

 The kids were not done enjoying the fresh air so we stopped by a new local park and I guess someone else had the same idea.  This place was PACKED!  I have NEVER in my entire life see so many families enjoying a playground.  There were LINES to play on the equipment!  We only stayed a short while because it was time to head to see the LEGO MOVIE!

The craziest thing about our Spring Break was waking up Sunday morning, our last day of Spring Break, to see SNOW falling from the sky!!! WHAT?!?!?!  We went from 68 degrees to 31 degrees in 12 hours.  This is what happens when you plan a Spring Break when it's still officially winter I guess.

Oh, and Amanda really, really, REALLY wanted to cut her dad's hair.  Don't worry.  Eric still has some left.  : )

NO MORE DRUGS

Logan's last dose of the anti-rejection drug was yesterday!  Hip Hip HOORAY!!  

At his doctors appointment today he was taken off his other medicines as well so now he is just a normal boy with story. 

We will still have frequent checkups for a long while yet, but the period of serious complications is behind us.  *sigh*
