Busy Boys

We have had a busy couple weeks around our house! Last week was Purdue's Spring Break and since the students were gone, Brian had a lighter week as well. Because of that we decided it was time to start painting. He painted our front room (known as the singing room by Jack--no idea why) and the hallway. Since Brian was painting, the boys needed to paint too! However, not sure what I was thinking with our children because neither of them like their hands too dirty so the finger painting consisted of 1 finger!!

Jack decided he would rather color

We also got to celebrate Dustin's 2nd birthday. We had a really fun day with the boys celebrating Dustin!! After we picked Jack up from school we went to Chick-fil-a, the park, and then home to open presents. You can see here that Jack was doing everything he could to let Dustin do it all by himself--it was very hard for him! :)

taking his time

probably took a good 5 minutes to get to this point

Dustin getting ready to blow out his candles. Jack had been singing "Happy Birthday" to him all day and Dustin would pretend to blow candles out everytime!

This week is now Jack's Spring Break. We can't figure out why they don't do it the same week as Purdue! Jack went to this gymnastics gym a couple months ago on a field trip and they gave us a free open gym coupon so yesterday we decided to check it out. Plus Jack wanted to show us his "exercises" there. The boys loved it!! We ran around and played for almost 2 hours--maybe the best $3.00 ever spent! Jack really liked walking on the balance beam (he kept calling it a tight rope like on Wii Fit) and Dustin absolutely loved the big foam pit. I had to watch Dustin because he would take off for the pit and just dive in. He is going to be scary around the pool this year!

Here are some pictures from my phone. I had put the camera away because I was afraid I would lose it. They aren't good quality but you can see how busy they were!

Jack not so sure about it

can't really tell but Dustin has a huge smile on his face
