Kelly and the girls had to leave today but before they left we decided to go to the park.

Noby was so tired from the exciting visit that he passed out the minute we got home!

Thanks for the great week, Kelly, Avery, Ari and Sophie too!!

What would a vacation be without a little outlet shopping.  Today we headed to the Wrentham Outlets to search out some deals.

Our big find were these Kermit the Frog sneakers…

Someone was very excited he got new shoes!

I almost forgot to tell you that Inu had a guest this week too.  Sophie looks like she could be Inu’s baby!  How cute are they?

Love her!!

Tuesday we headed into the city for a day of fun!  It was a long day but the kids did great and we all had a great time!

Here they are waiting for lunch…

Noby just idolizes Avery (and Ari)!

Deep in thought…

Ichiro even met us for lunch…

The kids got a ride on the carousel…

Then we hit the Boston Aquarium.  We decided to park the strollers so I had a hard time holding Koji, watching Noby and taking pictures.  Here’s the only one I got…

What’s a trip to Boston without a trip to Build-a-Bear?!?  I thank heaven I have boys.  Noby was totally uninterested, well until he saw the Kermit!!

Avery making her bear…

Ari making her butterfly…

Noby SOOO excited for Kermit…

How could I say no to that face?

Putting in the heart…  And that little hand is Avery showing him that they had Kermit shirts for his Kermit doll.  THANKS AVERY! 😉

Here’s Koji eating again!

We were lucky enough to have visitors this April vacation.  Kelly, Avery and Ari came up for a few days and I honestly don’t think we would have had as much fun without them!

They arrived on Monday and we started the week with a trip to the Stone Zoo.

As you can tell, it’s hard to get 4 kids to all look at once…

Koji, doing his own thing…

Snack time…

We had taco night tonight…

and whoever didn’t eat ended up in the cage!

Just kidding they locked themselves in there!!!

He might only be 4 years old but Noby’s a great worker…

Before washing the house he helped me weed, plant and mulch the front flower beds…

No big trips for Easter this year so we decided to have a nice quiet afternoon at Brenda’s house.  We planned all the usual Easter activities for the kids and an awesome lobster dinner for the adults! It was quiet but fun was had by all.

Auntie helping Noby color Easter eggs…

Koji keep grabbing the egg out of the cup with his hands…

Our lion egg…

I think our zoo animal eggs came out great!

What would Easter be without some drinks?

Noby playing IN the toy bin.

The boys opening their gifts that Memere and Buddy sent…

Checking out the lobsters…

EASTER HUNT TIME!!!

Easter wouldn’t be complete without some tasty Easter desserts…

Koji, always the sharer!

Happy Easter Everyone!!  We hope that the Easter bunny was as good to everyone as he was to this house.  The boys were so excited to come down see what the Easter bunny brought them.

The baskets were left on the coffee table…

First thing Noby saw was his Space Angry Bird… “LOOK Mom, its SPACE Angry Birds!!”

Of course Koji loves anything Noby does…

CANDY!!!

Koji caught on quickly that the eggs had candy in them!

I really wanted to get the kids outside today, plus I knew I wanted to exercise.  What better way to kill two birds with one stone then to walk around Horns Pond in Woburn.  I convinced Brenda and Ichiro to join the kids and I.

Someone was tired…

Noby walked almost the entire 2 miles, but by the end he hopped on the stroller for a ride…

We had a play date after school today and BOY did the boys play!  Check out our ride home….

We needed to get out of this house today!  Koji wouldn’t nap, Noby was climbing the walls, and that combo makes for one cranky mommy!  To the zoo we go!

Awwww Brotherly love…

The wolves came out to greet us…

My two little spiders…
