Moms and Boys Weekend

Each year during Dads and Bros weekend (which started in 2010 as a sort of bachelor party for Pat and continues each year as a basketball-watching, beer-drinking, male-bonding weekend at Pearl Lake), we have Moms and Boys weekend. This year, it fell the weekend before Easter, so our activities were themed accordingly.

The outtakes:



Egg dyeing

James napped through the actual dyeing (probably a good thing) but was in charge of quality control for the finished eggs.

Love how he can just be rolled up and fall asleep anywhere, though in a house with a perpetually-motioned TJ and Jojo on the loose, it's not always that simple.

Jojo was NOT happy to share me with James. Anytime I had James, he squirmed his way onto my lap or into my arms, staking his territory. I remember TJ doing this when I held a friend's baby.

Marbleworks, a toy from our childhood, is always a hit with the boys. Aunt Jenn Jenn was the Marbleworks pro.

Probably Grammy's favorite part of the weekend--snuggled up in bed reading stories with the grandsons.

TJ and Jojo love to have tea parties with Grammy.

The Easter Bunny made an early stop at Grammy and Buppa's house.
Chocolate! Peeps!

James checks out his first Easter basket.

Bathtime mohawk!


And two photos of the guys' fun up at the lake. Last year they swam in the lake; this year they built a snowman and used the trick (water) skis behind a 4-wheeler on the frozen lake! 

There's always a photo of the empty beer can display, this year artfully arranged on Mom's shelves.
