Baby Animal Days!

Baby Animal Days comes once a year at the Heritage Center in Wellsville.  The kids love it, but it is not worth going, because it is too crowded, the lines are too long, and I'm always worried I'm going to loose one!  Well this year we lucked out!  Friday it was snowing, Melissa called me up and said she was going to bundle her kids up in boots and snow gear and go to Baby Animal Days!  We decided to do the same, and I'm so glad we did.  No one was there because the weather was bad, but we didn't mind in the least, we were warm and cozy in our snow pants and boots!  We got to do everything twice because there wasn't any lines, it was so much fun!  It was just what we needed after a long winter inside!!  There were six baby black bears, baby turtles, bunnies and all sorts of farm babies!  Here's to hoping for bad weather next year as well...we will be there!

 

Brenchley Family Easter Party 2012!

We had our annual Brenchley Family Easter Party! It was a blast, and most everyone was there! We made Easter basket cupcakes, went on a Easter egg hunt, painted ceramic Easter magnets, which Melissa brought and which were a big hit!! I set up an Easter treasure hunt, where the kids had to follow a trail of rainbow yarn toward an Easter treasure! Of course I didn't get any pictures of it, so I'll have to do it Easter morning and have the kids find their Easter baskets that way.
Holidays are so much more fun with Kids, I absolutely love them and look forward to each one! I ran to the store the day before to finish getting supplies for the party. As I was getting the kids into the car an older man was getting out of his truck, he looked at me and noticed the bags filled with Easter stuff and said to me..."Oh I envy you, for what you will be doing Easter morning!" You could tell in his voice he had played the part of Easter Bunny for many years! Oh I hope my years of playing Easter Bunny are slow and memorable!

April Fools Day!

I tried to come up with a fun April Fool's trick to play on my kids, but the day crept up on me. We did think of a funny trick to play on Dad though. After I put several drops of yellow food coloring into the bath water we called Dan in and the kids told him they "Peed" in the tub! I think he almost believed them, he looked around the room for the cause of the yellow water!! The kids laughed and laughed! They thought they were so tricky!! If you look really close the water does have a yellow hew!
