Brrr Easter









Gus, a preschool mate, and Lucy.


Easter was cold, windy, yet somewhat sunny this past Sunday. We went to the park and hunted eggs. Gus and Lucy managed to bring about a dozen home- good thing it wasn't more than that because in Oroville, the egg hunt involves real eggs. So now I have about 3 more egg salad sandwiches and they will be finished.

Spokane and Bugs


A nice place for a pit stop right above Grand Coulee Dam- beautiful spring day.


Gus and the stick bug.


Mom, he likes my shirt because it looks like lettuce!




A rose haired tarantula. And yes folks, I actually touched this one. I am trying to get over my arachnophobia.

Last week was Spring Break week for the kids and we decided to hit Spokane. (Daddy, both grandpas, aunts and uncles all went fishing in Western Montana)... It was a good time for sure, we visited family, friends, and mobius kids. For those of you who have not made the pilgrimage to the downtown kid's museum in Spokane, I definitely recommend this place. Gus handled the bugs and Lucy played at the water table for a long while. (take the kids out of Okanogan County and they still gravitate towards their fave things: Bugs and Water).

Speaking of Bugs, somewhere along the way Lucy and I picked up Strep Throat. It was nasty and I had to miss a couple of days of work, but now we are feeling much better.
