Easter, Gym, Eggs, and others

I know, it's always a list of current activities that the Dunn clan has going. If it seems busy now, wait til they all get older!!! UGH!

So, Easter was good. The eggs did the job and due to numerous tears at the thought of throwing them away they have a semi-permanent home in a bowl in the fridge! They will be thrown away one at a time so as not to arouse suspicion. Nathan got a skateboard, numerous candy filled eggs, a jumprope (funny to watch someone learn to do that!), money (from Nana), video games (Nana again), clothes (Papa & Grandma), and a rock growing kit (the Elliott's). Seems like Easter is better for presents than Christmas. Spoiled kid! The girls got ponies (the pink ride-on variety, not the real thing), baby snacks, Peeps (haven't tried it yet...bet they like it though), stuffed animals & clothes (Papa & Grandma), and the cutest baby tea set (the Elliott's). Again, they are spoiled. We went to see the "Dunn" family and had dinner in Santa Clarita. Six little kids is just too many for the number of adults present. It's chaos! They do seem to have loads of fun though so maybe it's worth it. John's twin brother & his wife came by to get their dog (they took a trip to the Philippines and John's mom and dad babysat the dog) had dinner and chatted for a bit. It was nice to see all of the sibblings together. It's been a long time since they were all close enough do be together for the holidays. Very Cool.

The girls went to My Gym for the first time today and had a great time! I'd forgotten how much stimulation they get from that one hour of activity. It's great for them because they get to interact with other kids. They are tired but it's worth it. Nathan was supposed to be the other "adult" helping with the kids but he's not very good at it. He just wants to play.

The girls has their first eggs the other morning and true to personality Kate ate them and liked it and Tara spit them back out at me. Tara is likes to eat but only what she likes. She hates to try new things! We tried the yogurt today and she made faces at John and Kate ate it all! She'll probably end up living on Oreos & waffles like Nathan does.

The party date is set (Kate and Tara are turning 1!) so be ready to party with the twins on their first b-day, July 4th!!! I hate that their birthday in so close to the holiday but what can I do? The party is from 1:30-3:00pm so you'll all have pleanty of time afterward to BBQ and light fireworks! WOOHOO!

Also, please save May 16th for a joint 30th b-bay party for Jill & John. More details to follow. We have to get going on that soon...Seems like time just flies by! Yeah on them turnign 30!!! I don't feel so old now that there is going to be company in the 30-something group.

Gotta go now, I have to feed some children....
