Busy Sunday

Well, we had a very busy day today!! The day started with our weekly trip to the rec center (well, technically the day started hours before that since my boys aren't big sleepers, but that's a minor detail). Daddy and Evan hit the pool for swim lesson #3:
In the meantime, Tyler and I headed down the hall to the "soft room" for Zoom Around the Room! It's a class for 2-5 year olds and it's basically a free-for-all with a little bit of sitting in a circle and singing at the end. Tyler spent the majority of the 45 minute class in the ball pit. I had a very hard time getting him out of there! Unfortunately, there are no pictures because I couldn't take any since I was supervising Tyler, and Mitch was in the pool. Next week I'll try to get some pictures of the room before the class starts.

When we got home, after snack time, Tyler went down for a nap. Evan refused. So Daddy and Evan hung out while I went for a walk. It was a beautiful, warm afternoon, so Evan enjoyed a little deck time, sans pants:




When I got back, Evan had lunch, then fell asleep, then Tyler woke up and had lunch. That's usually the way it is - they nap in turns rather than at the same time. Although sometimes (like yesterday), they go down at the same time which is a nice break for Mommy and Daddy!!

When everyone was finally awake, we headed out again. The time had finally come for Evan to get a proper haircut. I had put it off long enough. Here are some before shots:

Yup, just a little shaggy! And ever since I did that not so great bang trim several weeks ago, Mitch kept saying he looked like he had a mullet and I couldn't have that!! Here is the big event:

Meanwhile, Tyler patiently lounged in the stroller snacking on Goldfish...
Evan was such a good boy!! He sat still for the whole time, well, until the very end when he'd finally had it. He didn't even freak out at the buzzer. And now my baby boy doesn't look like a baby anymore. :(
For those of you that think I dressed the boys up to go to Cartoon Cuts, you are wrong. They were dressed nicely because after the haircut, it was time to pay a visit to the Easter Bunny!!
The Easter Bunny was HUGE!!! In that costume, he must have been nine feet tall. I thought the boys would be petrified, but they weren't. In fact, Tyler didn't want to leave. I believe he would have sat on that bench all day if he could have.
When we got home, we decided to take advantage of the last bits of the warm afternoon and headed to the tot lot.


Phew!!! Big day! Lots of fun. And the boys went down this evening without too much fuss, so I guess we had the right amount of fresh air/activity to tucker them out properly!! Hopefully the weather will be even nicer next weekend and we can spend more time outside.

Time to finish all the chores and get myself off to bed!!
