Easter and more

This was the first Easter that the babies were aware of their surroundings.  We were going to go down to visit my family, but a few things happened that made that difficult.  Short story: biggest splinter ever, husband splinter surgery that made it difficult for me to walk, killer allergies + allergy meds.  We did manage to squeeze some fun in to the day.

We had a mini egg hunt.  We did not prepare well, so we only had like 6 plastic eggs.  I supplemented our stash with some mandarin oranges that were getting old.  We, of course, are those people with diapered babies running around outside.  Ben has short hair Alex has long hair.

Alex running away with an egg.  He walked it right to the front door and started pointing at the door.  Little weenie.

Ben got distracted by a loud truck

They found an odd love of eating oranges whole.  They mutilated quite a few today.

An orange after baby gnawed on it.  They eventually chewed off the peel enough to eat the orange.  Much like a monkey does probably.  They had probably 10 servings of fruit today.  My babies will not get scurvy.

After the egg hunt, we let them play with the hose.  Alex walking up the hill.  Ben at the end of the hose

We did end up taking off their diapers.  Yes, we are those people with naked babies playing with a hose in 76 degree weather.  We did have towels and warm clothes ready for them when they were done.  They did not stay in the water long.

They had fun

After dinner, we had Easter cake.  Easter cake has been quite the argument in this house.  They had more fun spreading it out on the table than eating it.  Weirdos.

Here is the and more...

This stuff happened between the last blog post and today.

If you look closely, you can see the spit smudge on Alex's forehead

The babies enjoy crawling in things.  Here they are in the tv tables.  

Babies in a pot..

Alex stuck in a pot.  He was the first one with this idea.

Then Ben crawled in later.  Alex is trying to wrestle him out.

This picture made me laugh more than pretty much any other picture ever.  I have probably 50 pictures of the babies going back and forth in the big pot.  There are pictures taken in the morning, noon, and night in that big pot.  

Ben was in the big pot, so this was Alex's response.

No words.

They have started doing something else that I find to be really weird.  If they spill a liquid on the floor, they tend to get on the floor to slurp it up.  This also applies to any puddle they happen upon during their travels.  It is disgusting.  I have to watch them outside because they will go for any liquid that is pooled.  (Note: I don't let them drink floor/ground puddles of any kind.  This was just a surprise.)  Here is Ben getting the spilled milk.
